It’s 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 I’m gonna take a break or even delete my account in favour of Blue Sky. Follow me there: @gilliangoobie.bsky.social

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)

In Somerset, a giant science experiment to tackle flooding began 10 years ago. Rather than trying to resist the sea, a large tract of land was surrendered to it. Lots of people were opposed. The local MP called it “an extravagant, ridiculous scheme”🧵

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 🙌🙌🙌

Fantastic talk by a fantastic person @KathleenLindell 🤩🤩🤩 #ICLAF2024

Excellent panel discussing disparities and environmental exposures in ILDs - #ICLAF2024 #CurePF

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

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!!!

I am honored to serve on the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee for the US EPA 👇@ATS_EOPH @BIDMC_Medicine @HarvardEnvHlth @HarvardPulm

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 Matthew’s friends and family 💔

Does bronchoalveolar lavage correlate well with radiologic features in ILD? In this real-world study from the @CARE_PF registry, nope! 🧵 https://t.co/tSUCPafXLx

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.

Congratulations to Drs Gordon Francis, Tillie Hackett, Chris Ryerson and Kelly McNagny for receiving funding from CIHR's Project Grant: Spring 2024 competition! Their projects will address challenges in atherosclerosis, fibrotic interstitial lung diseases, and immune response.

Riding bicycles is a simple, affordable, and environmentally sustainable means of transportation. They also promote lung and heart health and cleaner air. This #WorldBikeDay let's support this healthy transportation alternative to gas-powered vehicles.

Massive congratulations to the Gobsmackingly awesome #DoubleDoc @drdayjee 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩. You are a rockstar clinician, scientist, collaborator, and general human being 🤗🤗🤗

It finally happened… (Re) introducing Dr. Deji Adegunsoye! • Ph.D. Genetics Genomics & Systems Biology🧬 • MSc. Public Health Sciences🏥 • Pulmonologist🫁 • Intensivist🩺 So grateful to all who helped on this journey. This one is for you. We did it!🎉 #PhDone #YesYouCan

Had an amazing time at #ATS2024. I think the best was seeing my mentee, Sharon Kim, MSI3 from @PittDeptofMed, absolutely knocking it out of the park speaking on PM2.5 impacts on lung fxn in sarcoidosis. #SaySarcoidosis @Simmons_ILD @yingzezhang @DKNYPitt @UPMC

Congratulations to @PACCSM 3rd Year Fellow, Dr. Rachel Wojcik who won the #ATS2024 Teaching Competition! #ThisIsPACCSM #MedED @UPMCnews @UPMCPhysicianEd @PittDeptofMed @ATSMedEd Mentored by APD Dr. Stephanie Maximous (@StephMaximous)
