[Peter Tennant has moved to Bluesky @PWGTennant]

For 17 years, @uk_biobank promised that "insurance companies...will not be given any individual’s information, samples or test results”.

Now an investigation reveals they have repeatedly shared data with insurance companies.

A shocking breech of trust.

@Ounana Hi Kristen! This is super! I wish I could hear your talk - I'm interested in climate gentrification and other environmental health research!

This week, Scorsese releases his film Killers of the Flower Moon: the true story of the mass murder of the Osage and the theft of their oil wealth. But the story doesn’t end when the credits roll. For 27 years, I've been investigating what happened next... 🧵

@DaalenKim @anavasac @singhtanya88 @ISEE_global @LancetCountdown @Gates_Cambridge @cathryn_tonne @drrachellowe @CAMBRIDGE_CEU Nice to meet you too! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

The @washingtonpost with more melanoma health disparities pornography replete with misleading statistics and false statements. I’m not sure who dropped the bag here, the journalist or the researchers/dermatologists. Probably both. THREAD 🧵👇🏾

D.C. and much of the U.S. will be facing intermittent smoke all summer long — probably until October.

34 very large fires in Quebec are being “monitored” but not combatted. They’ve burned 3.7 million acres.

They won’t die for a while. Every NW wind means more smoke for us.

OK so I read the 89-page DOJ report on the Minneapolis Police Department, and here are some of the most jarring things I found in it: 🧵

@JessiePBuckley @JohnsHopkinsEHE She gave an excellent talk!!

ICYMI, great article in @AMJPublicHealth about unequal environmental burdens on the LGBTQ+ community. Discriminatory policies and practices have downstream effects on health, including through less recognized pathways. #PrideMonth

These mortality and morbidity estimates of a combined extreme heat + power outage event are sobering— 50% of urban population of Phoenix would require medical attention and 2x heat-related mortality. https://t.co/Oqjjg604yR

I was fortunate enough to get a private screening of the film, Killers of the Flower Moon earlier this month. Having been marginally released from my NDA with the premiere of the film today at Cannes, I have a few thoughts.
