Most heat-health plans neglect mental health risks from extreme heat β€’ Muser Press A new review published in Current Environmental Health Reports offers a global assessment of how mental health is addressed in official heat-health action plans

A global review finds most heat-health plans mention #mentalhealth but lack real interventions. As extreme #heat intensifies, researchers call for targeted support to protect vulnerable communities. #ClimateAdaptation #PublicHealth

The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

10 years ago I saw through my first Environmental Justice lecture, wishing, hoping, and plotting on how I could contribute to the space. Here we are now. Teaching EJ in the core course for MPH students at Columbia. We’ve come along way EHS/Public Health.
