Great work being done and has been a privilege to know many of these researchers as a pt advisor. The more that's known and understood the better outcomes for sepsis patients. https://t.co/8uK1EHE4aa

Excellent piece. This summer was a wake up call making it clear that climate change isn't a distant threat but impacting on the lives of Canadians now. We not only need to double down on climate action, we need to build more resilient communities.
