@SCC_CCS_CEO @SCC_CCS @emily_brigham @picardonhealth Thanks! Unfortunately summers like this one will happen again, so we hoped to provide some practical adaptation advice for docs and lay people. @CAPE_ACME @jvipondmd could you help promotion with a RT? 🙏

I participated in the first AMP cohort last year, and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for some practical advocacy skills relevant to planetary health.

1/2 Spots are filling up—but there’s still time to apply! Dr. Courtney Howard is one of the speakers joining the AMP’s Opening Conference discussing planetary health and social change.

If you followed me during the pandemic it was likely because I didn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. Climate will effect health far more profoundly than Covid ever did. The old ways got us here. We must change or be changed.

@picardonhealth @SCC_CCS_CEO Thanks for the mention, even if I wish it wasn't so timely.

Disappointing that climate has not been a bigger issue #AbElection2023 , especially given our wildfire disaster & its health toll. In an Op-Ed for @NatObserver, @DrKarinaPillay & I urge you to #voteforyourhealth! https://t.co/mCyI8dJn1Q @cape_ab @CAPE_ACME

The sun looks red and it smells of smoke in the cardiac cath lab today. A reminder that clean air is health care! See our @CAPE_ACME @cape_ab Op Ed here:https://t.co/vVwZ8m339i #voteforyourhealth

Happy Earth Day #EPeeps #CardioTwitter ! To celebrate, why not spend a few minutes learning about links between climate change and heart health on the @SCC_CCS Cardio Connector podcast. Dr. Matt Bennett was a great host of ray first podcast interview. https://t.co/XpjdWTxiGT

@doreen_rabi @JAAdekanye @dr_sajobi @c4collaboration Thanks for your amazing questions- still thinking about how I would answer a couple of them!

[Steve Wilton @SBWilton]

Had fun presenting an update on #Afib to joint @CalgaryMedicine @LibinInstitute Grand Rounds this morning. Thanks to @chandramthomas for the invitation and @doreen_rabi for the great questions on social determinants of AF! My son sent this as encouragement-was much friendlier!

Results of CRAFT, our multicenter RCT in patients with flutter, comparing CTI ablation to Cryo PVI, published in @Heart_BMJ

PVI as effective as CTI abl in reducing flutter, and better at preventing new onset AF

@kmfiest I changed dentists last year in part to get away from the text harassment.
