When I was hiking in Seoraksan national park in South Korea a few years ago, I saw an informational sign about forest bathing! So fitting you would be there. What a wonderful conference. I write about this medicine in #ModernTrauma

I love how you’re expanding the areas of focus on climate effects on health. We are just forming a new entity in Canada to keep the focus on the brain - such as stroke, dementia, and mental health. I’ve been studying climate psychology.

I think it’s mostly people from USA who do this? Almost every Asian or SE Asian country doesn’t just take shoes off - they provide indoor slippers.

It’s a great start but the environment matters too. Climate change will accelerate dementia as well. We can’t separate ourselves from our air. #BrainCECollab

Have they even released Novovax there yet?

Will it be recorded? It is quite early in the western Americas

I mask outdoors anytime the AQI is moderate or high, but I am the only one doing so. We have become triggered by the sight of a mask in our society that people can no longer consider reasonable preventative health behaviors.

A peer-reviewed study says smoke from record-breaking Canadian wildfires in 2023 caused an estimated 5,400 acute deaths and about 82,100 premature deaths worldwide.

The wildest thing about it is he’s claiming that there’s a lack of corruption from the cardiac surgeon who promoted (branded?) raspberry ketones for weight loss. Just wow.

3/8 The U.S. government recently made it illegal to include equity, diversity and inclusion requirements in medical school accreditation.

This policy shift gave Canadian associations "an enhanced duty to protect EDI principles."

Different values demand different paths.

The Canadian north is on fire. Making it even more inevitable that can Inuit people along our Arctic coast will suffer the worst of this climate emergency, with rates of warming among the fastest in the world. We need to divest from fossil fuels. But when the AQI is high, we also need to #MaskUp

The WeatherCan app screen shows an air quality index greater than nine in Calgary this afternoon, which is deemed high risk for air particulate exposure

Choking smoke spewed by wildfires is far more dangerous than previously thought, a new study has found, with death tolls from short-term exposure to fine particulates underestimated by more than 90 per cent. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/02/n...

It is not Ukraine Russia war.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Media needs to frame it so it reflects facts and doesn’t minimize the invasion of a sovereign nation.

These Guardian headlines are so incongruent. We need politicians to seize their ability to take collective action. Or we need a sufficiently alarmed community-based response. #ClimateChange is the biggest risk we face - the rest is distraction.

Guardian headline “Plastic pollution talks fail as negotiators in Geneva reject draft treaties.”

Guardian headline: “More than 400 people suspected to have died from extreme heat in Arizona county.”

Guardian headline “Southern Europe bakes and burns, turning holiday hotspots into infernos.”

Guardian headline: “Canada wildfires: 81 million Americans under air quality alerts as blazes rage.”
