Map reveals residential wood-burning hotspots in England and Wales Researchers analyse energy performance certificate data to identify areas with potentially high particle pollution

I'm really sorry, but we just need to stop doing this. Your wood-burning hygge leads directly to people's deaths - other people's and perhaps your own.

If you were asked to state the total number of acute infections you'd had, for example colds, or episodes of gastro-intestinal upset, over what period would you be confident about your response? A maximum period of...

12 months?

Thanks for responding.

Congratulations on this! Great figure.

Okay bluesky #COPD folk, what has been your standout publication in COPD over the year?

Hit me up. 👀 ⬇️

Did you see the 93 Garry? That’s a rare beast!

It’s some kind of magic, right?

DO NOT LOOK DOWN.

This will 💥 your 🧠.

Can you spare a few minutes to help, or seconds to share please.

This fantastic team from the Netherlands led by Sami Simons are using voice diagnostics to help identify exacerbations of COPD.

All you have to do is say Aaaah!

Thank you.

What an honour to be part of the @uclofficial.bsky.social delegation to sign a new UCL - AIIMS Delhi and IIT Delhi tripartite agreement.

Exciting times ahead for our institutions and the communities we work with.

Me, well P but not CC!

Enough said?

Not a bit of it.

And now that I’ve got the right day…

It is of course tomorrow, 🤦🏻‍♂️. I’m overexcited it seems.

Today is #worldCOPDday.

I will always….

Very excited to be part of this UCL delegation to India.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

One of my favourite things?

Seeing old #PhD students back in the lab, catching up on how their work has led to new studies, and sharing their experience with our current team.

So good to see you back, Dr Aalrajeh - thank you for stopping by! And congratulations. 😉
