Thank you @valmacsee I absolutely enjoyed working on this study with an amazing team. The study aimed to answer the question "Does cancer care terminology exist in African languages?"

🗣️Here we are again! 2nd edition of our 3-day course on methods in climate epidemiology in Wengen (Switzerland). Lots of materials and examples on “hot”-topics (e.g., projections, small area analysis), and an excellent excuse to practice skiing in a wonderful venue! See below 👇🏻
No excuses. Air pollution damages our health. We urge EU governments to protect people’s health and to adopt a negotiating position on the Ambient Air Quality Directive (#AAQD) this week. @EU_Commission@EUCouncil@WHO#CleanAirNow
Ahead of Monday’s SDG Summit, the night sky over UNHQ in New York lights up with the #GlobalGoals in an artistic call for everyone to #ActNow for a fairer, more inclusive & sustainable future. https://t.co/TrmoKhXA2Y
We are in a #ClimateCrisis, there is no time to waste. Inaction means the continued loss of lives, communities, homes, cultures.
Our leaders need to act, now, and decisively. First up on the to do list📃:
1. #EndFossilFuels#FastFairForever
New Pantone color just dropped.
Day 2 of pressuring @DanaherCorp to stop overcharging the world's poorest people for critically important tuberculosis tests.

Murray vs. Motorola: a lawsuit about billions 💰 whether mobile phone use causes brain cancer in 13 individuals. After 22 years, a final judgement order was published on 1 August 2023 in favour of Motorola and no media reported about it.😳
Following reports that the right wing SVP party in Switzerland has used a #WeAreFamily sound-alike song in a political video without permission, #NileRodgers made the following statement:
“I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People's Party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions!”
@HipgnosisSongs , @SonyMusicPub and @WarnerChappell are all working to have the SVP cease and desist their use of the song.

For many of us, the air we breathe is toxic, the weight of evidence showing the health impact linked to air pollution is growing by the day. Lung conditions are the third biggest killer in the UK, but they aren’t being taken seriously enough. @WHO https://t.co/j9cRHNYEqu
THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST:
Doom-scrolling in the pandemic, you might have seen fights about what words like “airborne”, “endemic”, or “vaccine” mean.
Why do these fights happen? The answer: jargon.
So what is jargon? And how is it weaponized to spread disinformation?

Very happy to announce that Doris passed her PhD defense yesterday with a Summa Cum Laude @SwissTPH@UniBasel_en - Congratulations Dr. Osei Afriyie - we are all very proud of you!
“Climate change,@WHO says, is the “single biggest health threat facing humanity.”Climate-driven malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, heat stress are projected to kill an additional 250,000 people/year, with an annual cost of between 2 and $4 billion”. https://t.co/i2t2L8RdxL
