An excellent article by Amanda Kvalsvig and Anna-Maria Arabia, with contribution by Dr Bronwyn King AO, highlighting the reasons that indoor air quality matters more than ever, and how to translate the evidence into meaningful action.

Basically the only venue all week that was green was for the IWBI showcase event - everywhere else was 1500-2000+

Huge thank you to everyone who helped get me there for this amazing opportunity, I hope I did you proud! Extra thanks also to @airspothealth.bsky.social here’s a grab from the week 😳😷

It was also AMAZING to meet @airqualitymatters.bsky.social in real life! Gutted we didn’t get a selfie. Can’t wait for the box pops to publish!!

And here is the speech! Thank you to @cvcev.bsky.social for putting it together in this thread x

It was also wonderful to meet some truly awesome humans including @luckytran.com @masknerd.bsky.social @drericding.bsky.social @lieslmcconchie.bsky.social @ruthbrooker.bsky.social

Last week was pretty wild. I had the unbelievable opportunity to speak at the UN Headquarters during #UNGA on why indoor air quality is an accessibility and inclusion issue for people living with chronic health conditions.

I will ask how people can order them

A busy week ahead!
