Natural settings are good for the soul but it may be that "green" is not exactly the right measure. Check out @alanjfossa's dissertation paper that looks at how climate region influences these relationships with depression! Nice job Alan!!

I was impressed by this sign at the Danish Design museum. Seems that there are some good life lessons in there for many of us in the environmental health field as well.

The greatest joys of my job are science, students, and travel. Pure happiness is running into one of my first PhD students, the talented @Paola_Filigrana, while in Amsterdam for an interesting and productive project meeting.

@EPA's replacement of old school buses with newer, cleaner buses reduced absenteeism. Removing the oldest buses from the fleet could put 1.3M more kids in school. Read more about this natural experiment led by @MeredithPedde @umichsph in @naturesustainab. http://shorturl.at/txD37

It's been a life long dream of mine to see the Aurora Borealis. This weekend the skies of northern Michigan delivered. Truly spectacular!

Nerd happiness is when life randomly takes you past the same parking lot in rural Wyoming where you collected a noise sample 3 years ago and you have your instrument on you for a replicate sample!
