One more of the great lectures we have in the ISEE Environmental Epi Course!

ISGlobal gets again accreditation as a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence. We are the only Public Health Centre in the few top institutes in Spain. Happy to end my time as director of the 1st Severo Ochoa grant & congratulations to Mark Nieuwenhuijsen who led this application

EPICOH is the best you can get in occupational health research. Fantastic that our early researchers organise EPICOH Early. I will be there (not because I am an early researcher😀 but because the venue is at ISGlobal)

📢El #EPICOH EARLY 2024 tendrá lugar los días 4 y 5 de noviembre en Biomedicina BCN, en Barcelona.  El evento destacará el trabajo de investigadores que inician su carrera e incluirá conferencias magistrales y actividades de networking. ➡️isglobal.org/-/epicoh-early… #epitwitter

This is an important article on clean water (a huge global issue) evaluating why WASH intervention effectiveness, and identifying reasons for the differences in the benefits in space and time.

Important action by ISEE. Pesticides affect humans & the environment, & should be evaluated & controlled. I participated in the last 2 priority meetings for IARC Monographs and we identified many high-priority pesticides. I'm sure IARC will respond positively to this challenge

Being in a tribunal of a thesis is quite some work. It is a pleasure though when evaluating the work of amazing new researchers, like Laura Delgado. 7 papers with quali and quanti research and creation of a theoretical framework on how to examine walking in adults! Congrats Laura

when you have an excellent thesis by an excellent PhD researcher, you can be tough😀.

My epidemiologist friend Jordi Sunyer, reminds me of Lord Byron's death 200yrs ago in Missolongi, Greece besieged by the Turks. Jordi refers to Greece, Catalonia, and Europe losing their idealism, breath of freedom, tolerance & culture. At these complex times, good to look wider

for the Greeks! One of my articles on climate change and health in Greece as part of a series of fascinating papers on climate change in EfSyn, one of the best daily newspapers in Greece efsyn.gr/stiles/apopsei…

NEW: Scientists are scrambling to fill major research gaps about the types of pollutants released when wildfires burn not just vegetation but also structures and vehicles—and how nearby residents can protect themselves ➡️ buff.ly/4ceXr5v

These curated collections are super useful as reference material. Congrats Antonio (Gasparrrini)!

more on sports. Gemma (epidemiologist, Olympic judge) mentions that "... and yesterday women made history: first time that 3 women were in charge of the 100m Men Final in the Olympic Games. Lisa, starter (Canada), Janet, photofinish (Australia) and myself, track Referee!" Yeh!

A new analysis by ISGlobal on temperature and mortality across 35 countries estimated 47,690 heat-related deaths in Europe in 2023. The highest mortality rates in Southern Europe. Without societal adaptation since 2000, deaths could have been +80% higher bit.ly/4fKTsR5
