So thrilled to share @USAID's new #digitalhealth policy guidance, the Digital Health Position Paper (2024-2029). Learn more:
And, in a globalized society, all of this matters for American public health and national security.
I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵
A PhD student used both Claude and Gemini as an AI therapist. She vented her frustrations around getting a cancer diagnosis, and joked about how much it was costing the healthcare system. The difference in responses is staggering.

I debated whether to share this. I did apologize on the air. But I invite you to read my introspection on @BulletinAtomic of how extreme weather 📈 driven by global warming has changed me. Frankly, YOU should be shaken too, and demand #ClimateActionNow. thebulletin.org/2024/09/hurric…

One of my favorite among the calls to action in the new USAID #digitalhealth Position Paper focuses on centering the design of digital systems--especially those used at the point of service delivery--to meet the needs of the people and health workers involved in care exchange.

Wildfires are a normal part of nature These are not Over 44 million acres burned last year in Canada This year could be even worse Forests in a warming world are no longer able to exist and are combusting fueling even more warming A vicious circle with no exit

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis
October 2023's atmospheric moisture (we call it precipitable water) was ~10% above the 1980s levels. That is a lot of excess moisture. Warmer air holds more moisture and dumps more rain overall. The relationship is straight forward, ~8% increase per 2 degree F warming.
There were emotional scenes of celebration when Indigenous groups in Brazil got a ruling from the Supreme Court that will help protect their ancestral lands from mining, drilling and farming ⤵️
Carl Sagan’s incredibly eloquent 4 min speech to Congress in 1985 about precisely how CO2 and other greenhouse gases caused by humans lead to #climatechange. Worth your time to watch and listen. #ClimateActionNow
