Itโs feeling pretty toxic on twitter these days. Missing the old days of #MedTwitter and not having political vitriol and other nonsense invade my feed. Thinking Iโm gonna take a break or even delete my account in favour of Blue Sky.

Today's Lancet climate and health report presents 56 indicators of health and climate change across FIVE domains. (Download the report for free from the Lancet website). Here is a thread of some of the key findings. #Lancetclimate24 (1)
@DGlaucomflecken Pittsburgh is the best ๐๐๐. You need to do a skit about true yinzers going to the doc after a particularly rough โStillersโ game
Dr. Sabina Guler delivers an outstanding presentation on the pathogenesis and approach to managing lung cancer in pulmonary fibrosis.
>50% risk in patients with RA.
Mgt requires delicate balance btw lung cancer control rate and prevention of ILD exacerbation.
#ICLAF2024
Groundbreaking work on sexual function in patients with ILD by @KerriBerriKerri and @NaamaAvitzur presented AT #ICLAF2024! Critically important issue we need to think about and address with our patients ๐๐๐
Thanks @RobertMTighe1!!
But the critical point is that we have the ability and duty to advocate for clean air and climate policies for ourselves and our patients!!!
#ICLAF2024
We are losing the battle with reducing air pollution exposure with climate change. And this has impacts to people with #ILD@gilliangoobie raising how climate change could impact people with pulmonary fibrosis. #ICLAF2024
So proud of Prof Lindell, who's giving the first Dan Rose Memorial Lecture at #ICLAF2024 - Dan was an amazing patient advocate who created the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation and single-handedly transformed Pulmonary Fibrosis patient support & advocacy.
Well deserved, Kathy!!!
@DNADoc12 @gretchemaben @shyshy_too The fee for service pay in BC for Respirologists (Canadian for Pulmonologists) is quite good. I work at an academic centre so take-home income is less since I spend less time in clinic or doing inpatient medicine, but it is a very liveable wage. Lmk if you want more info.
An absolutely heartbreaking loss of a legendary athlete. I grew up watching @NHLFlames & Johnny Gaudreau was an unbelievably talented player & a super kind person when @KerriBerriKerri + I had the chance to meet him. Thinking of Johnny & brother Matthewโs friends and family ๐
Does bronchoalveolar lavage correlate well with radiologic features in ILD? In this real-world study from the @CARE_PF registry, nope! ๐งต

Advocacy 1 of 3: Thank you to Dr. Laura Myers @kpthrive research scientist I, Division of Research, and pulmonary intensivist, Diablo Service Area, and our ATS Environmental Health Policy Committee members who spoke last week urging @EPA to approve CA Advanced Clean Fleet waiver.
