Pollen seasons continue to get longer and more intense. A study from my colleagues in @UMichSPH, @UMISR and @UMEngineering found that high levels of certain pollen were linked to increased risk of death from breathing problems.
As climate change intensifies pollen seasons across the country, new research from @UMichSPH, @umisr and @UMengineering reveals a connection between pollen exposure and death rates among older adults with breathing problems.

A moving personal story from my @UMichSPH colleague @minalrp. In the US 805,000 people have heart attacks each year. The @WHO estimates 80% of these cases are preventable -- a staggering gap between what's possible and what's happening.
"Recent insights from heart experts highlight a disturbing paradox in our healthcare system: Despite having an arsenal of effective treatments and preventive strategies for heart health at our disposal, we're failing to fully use them," writes @UMichSPH prof @MinalrpPhD in
