With funding for medicine and science weathering under Trump’s storm of cuts, what can Americans who care about public health do? @ashishkjha.bsky.social discusses with @kamranabbasi.bsky.social cuts, censhorship, and the resurgence of anti-vaccine beliefs with RFK www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziM2...

New research from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health highlights the serious impact of air pollution 🌫️ on respiratory infections 🫁 It’s a powerful reminder of the need for stricter air quality standards, urgent action to reduce pollution, and a stronger commitment to protecting public health.

“We cannot see the toxic air we are breathing in everyday, but hopefully this statue will remind us to stop and think, and for decision makers and politicians to do what is right and clean up the air we breathe.” ❤️ @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social

Hello lung fans! It’s #ThoracicThursday today & it was #WorldTBDay on Monday. So here is a themed quiz question. Send us your thoughts! #medsky #lungsky #pulmsky #endTB

Wood burning is "a luxury we cannot afford". At the @globalactionplan.bsky.social event on domestic wood burning today. 200,000 #woodburners are installed every year. Every single one pumps #PM2.5 into the wider community, with devastating consequences. Thanks to @mumsforlungs.bsky.social 🫶

What day is it? It’s #ThoracicThursday! Quiz question incoming…

TB rates are rising faster than at any other time since 1971. Explore clinical resources to help tackle this issue on the Respiratory Futures website. 👉 brit-thoracic.uk/WorldTBDay2025 #WorldTBDay #RespiratoryCare

I feel a TB themed question coming for this #ThoracicThursday…

CHEST began when a TB patient brought top clinicians together to share research in order to #EndTB. 90 years later, progress has been made but TB remains a global concern. On #WorldTBDay, we recognize how far we've come—& how far we still must go. www.chestnet.org/about/history #CHEST90

Answers this afternoon! Quick get your answer in! #RespEd #medsky

What is the state of #tuberculosis control? According to expert Philip Hopewell, MD, the situation is not looking good. A lack of funding is putting #TB control programs, and those who rely on them, in jeopardy. Tune in to the latest ATS Breathe Easy #podcast: youtu.be/y8jmFPzJtfc #medsky #scisky

A thread on the poor state of Defra’s #AirQuality Index, which tells the public about #AirPollution levels & provides recommendations & health advice. Spoiler: we’re being falsely reassured, undermining the calls for action to address the #Health effects of air pollution. 👇👇👇

It’s #ThoracicThursday! You’ve had a whole week off after the exam so it’s time for some imaging. Have a go! #RespEd #pulmsky #lungsky #medsky

Looking back in the archives—In its first-ever issue in 1935, Diseases of the Chest (AKA #JournalCHEST) published an article titled 'The Place of the Sun in Treating #Tuberculosis.' journal.chestnet.org/article/S009... Examples like this show just how far we've come in 90 years. #CHEST90 #MedSky

So many ideas today at the British Academy conference on communicating #airpollution. Some great highlights in @peteknapp.bsky.social 's thread from the day....

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.
