Our new paper about Air Quality Equity in US Climate Policy is out today in @PNASNews! The figure highlights the pervasiveness of national and state-level air pollution disparities. But can climate policy change this pattern? See🧵below or paper here: https://t.co/rNP4eGlHiv

New @PNASNews paper on quantifying fire-specific smoke impacts, expertly led by @jeffliwen. We link each big wildfire (2006-2020) in the US to its impact on PM2.5 and health. Complements typical fire impact measures (burned area, structures lost, etc). 🧵 https://t.co/QQfdzD6qpp

We asked about scientists' climate beliefs, climate actions, the role of scientists and academic institutions, and what is required to address climate change. 91% of all surveyed scientists believe that we need fundamental changes to social, economic, and political systems.

Johnson & Johnson (@JNJGlobalHealth) is unjustly extending a patent on a life-saving tuberculosis drug. Today's the day for them to realize denying MDR-TB patients treatment is not worth the harm they're causing to core brands like Tylenol and Neutrogena.

For more information on how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is incorporating equity so far, I would suggest this commentary from the Brookings Institute:
brookings.edu
On the surface, the history of U.S. environmental policy is one of sweeping success through pivotal regulation. The 1970 Clean Air Act, for example, is estimated to have reduced overall air pollution...
