As Joe Biden rolls out his climate and environment team, it is worth recalling, if only to grasp the distance between then and now, the hopeless bunch Donald Trump presented us with four years ago. nyti.ms/37V5lD9

"Every physician and nurse fulfills multiple roles—as a family member, a community member, a professional, and a citizen. Grounded in these roles, they can...help achieve the goal of limiting global warming to no more than 2°C." Let's go! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wm…

Vaccines are one of the greatest discoveries our species has ever made to improve the human condition.

Today, I #SayHerName. Breonna Taylor. Her life and her dreams were needlessly cut short. President Biden and I will continue to push for police reform. We’re committed to working with Congress to get it done.

Just feeling tonight the unpredictable pendulum swings of parenting in a pandemic when your kids are too young to be vaccinated. This is just...hard.

Vaccines work. Masks work. These are the facts. Let's all do our part, Oregon.

More than 180 million of your friends, neighbors, and fellow Americans have received the vaccine. Now it’s your turn! You can choose to protect your family from COVID. Call your doctor to schedule a vaccination appointment for everyone in your family ages 12+.

"Our job as parents & as pediatricians is to protect children & to ensure their safety, their health & their well being," says OPS Member Dr. Shaili Rajput. "And in this age, I can’t think of a greater way to do that than vaccinating your children." opb.org/article/2021/1…

Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Today's SCOTUS ruling on EPA vs W Va makes it even harder to address the climate crisis at a time when we need to be doing all we can. (short thread) npr.org/2022/06/30/110…

Today’s ruling by a radical, pro-pollution Supreme Court strikes a severe blow to the U.S. EPA’s authority to do its duty: to protect the environment.   In doing so, the Court has bowed to polluters who seek to poison the air our children breathe & the water they drink with impunity.

Today’s decision is a disappointment, but it's not a surprise. It's the result of coordination by the fossil fuel lobby to dismantle progress toward climate solutions. This ruling does not mean we are out of options! We must call on Congress to pass climate legislation. 1/2

Though it may have not been featured as prominently in the headlines, last week's Supreme Court decision in West Virginia vs. EPA will have major consequences for children's health. 1/4
