Nice find, Don. I rarely use X anymore for obvious reason (yuck!) but do peek occasionally to pick up your nice shares.

In #COPD, which is the more important risk factor? Age, gender, genetics, or environment? By far the #exposome is the MOST important driver of #COPD. This includes (obviously) smoking, air pollution and other exposures. rdcu.be/eaJlS

I rarely post nowadays, social media has me on the downside of mixed feelings, but couldn’t resist giving big ups to Alyson and Kate, of UBC respiratory medicine and Legacy for airway health, respectively! Crushing it! medicine.med.ubc.ca/department-of-…


It was a joy. Come back ASAP!!

Recently returned from an amazing research placement as part of my @The_MRC fellowship with @PollutionLab @UBC in Vancouver studying effects of pollution and infection on airway disease. Chris - thank you so much for hosting @DrNeenaJha and I - a great lab in a great city!🙏😊

I learned a lot (from @NMfromUManitoba and others) while writing this. SGBA becomes more meaningful when one divers below the surface

Woke up once in a cold sweat thinking I’d become a specialist in lymphatic hydraulics. So let me own that. Please — even if someone else asked you first, would mean a lot to me. (this is my first post in, like, a long time. It means that much. . .)

This post is unavailable.

Applications are now being accepted for tenure or tenure-track data scientist (PhD and/or MD) focused on airways disease – the scope is fairly broad so as to attract the very best. academicwork.ca/jobs/moira-and… #AcademicTwitter #womeninacademia #ecrchat #tenuretrack #phdlife #acwri

Drs Brauer & Henderson are each inspirations to me. One can only aspire to have their impact. ThankS @UBCmedicine for highlighting our work - when I started in air pollution (‘01) I truly thought the topic might fade but climate change has just amplified @Legacyairway @COERD_UBC
