“Climate change is driving the spread of chikungunya-carrying mosquitoes in two ways. A warmer, wetter world provides more suitable habitat. And extreme weather events can cause more breeding in floods or displace people, who cluster in areas with poor water” #IDSky www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/h...

Are any of these authors on bluesky? Great study!

Anusha Govind from PSR sharing how Hurricane Imelda changed her career trajectory in Texas—she’s been able to integrate #climatechange into their medical education with no pushback. “The question isn’t whether you believe, but whether you understand it.” #OurPlanetOurHealth

You can make a difference to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in healthcare! This supplement made me love being in id even more. ID folks aren’t afraid to take on challenges!

Thanks for highlighting our work @jpidsociety.bsky.social!

Hi! We are meeting at 1pm today to talk with guests @sethjudson.bsky.social and @bradspellberg.bsky.social about medicine for a changing planet and IV to PO conversion respectively. See you there!

academic.oup.com/jpids/pages/... About 1.5 years ago we started putting together the first of its kind series of articles that integrates healthcare sustainability into infectious diseases.

Hi! New podcast for @idsainfo.bsky.social #letstalkID @abxaware.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/3i3K...

Plastics have become ubiquitous in healthcare, despite strong evidence that they have concerning direct impacts on human & planetary health at every stage of their life cycle. In this article for @mja.com.au InSight+, DEA member Dr Mitchell Hickson reflects on healthcare's expensive plastic problem.

Learnt so much about the connection between climate, health and HIV as well as carbon footprint of some HIV drugs

I contributed to this piece from @nytimes.com on #wildfires and #health. This quote from Dr. Afif El-Hasan from American Lung is perfectly said: “Can you imagine how much worse things would be if we hadn’t started cleaning up emissions from our cars?” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/c...

Discuss ‘Sustainable Steps in Infectious Diseases: Tackling the Climate Crisis’ with @shreya-pedsid.bsky.social @abxaware.bsky.social in the latest podcast! on.soundcloud.com/g6kvbrFbP24r...

Hey #IDsky! Hoping you will make this stewardship×sustainability podcast your weekend listen. @abxaware.bsky.social m.soundcloud.com/user-7883106...

Wildfires in January is NOT normal. We’re seeing wildfires of worsening frequency, duration and frequency from #climatechange. In addition to the destruction and trauma of displacement, we estimate wildfire smoke to be 10x as toxic as the regular fossil fuel pollution we breathe. #climateaction

🌾🍎🥑🥭 it's also healthy for patients!

Hi! Sustainabil-ID will be meeting on zoom at 2pm EST tomorrow to discuss 1. Is there a role for healthcare sustainability in HIV care delivery? 2. How to design an IPC project to calculate environmental savings See you there!

Thank you @drrossanarosa.bsky.social for giving a listen!

3/🦟 Dengue Fever Surge in Latin America & the Caribbean 📊 Impact: 11.5M suspected cases, 4,500+ deaths. 🌡️ Drivers: Climate change & urbanization fuel mosquito breeding. Teaching Point: Integrated vector control strategies 📅 Outlook 2025: Adaptation strategies for climate-driven diseases are key.

A global plastics crisis linked to climate change, fossil fuels and harm to human health calls for healthcare to transition away from single-use plastics. We outline a sociotechnical system transformation approach across the plastics life cycle #Medsky #plastics jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The younger generation cares deeply about the climate. Healthcare sustainability & expertise in climate change as well as prior multi disciplinary collaborations in hospitals with ASP & IPC makes ID doctors well-suited to be leaders in healthcare sustainability. Could it help w/ recruitment? #IDsky

Hi #IDSky #PedsIDsky! We are a group of ID physicians and pharmacists interested in environmental stewardship through diagnostic stewardship, ⬇️ antimicrobial waste, lab waste, re-evaluating PPE use in certain situations telemed, etc. You can read more here. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38758197/

I argue in this podcast that although you don't have to drop what you're doing to work on #climatechange, all of us need to adopt a climate lens to our practice to keep our patients safe from what @who.int calls the greatest threat to health this century med.stanford.edu/content/sm/c...

Happy to share our latest research on environmentally sustainable radiology @rsnasky.bsky.social 🌎🩻 doi.org/10.1148/radi... We found that short-term exposures to higher ambient temperature and worse PM2.5 air pollution are associated with increased medical imaging utilization

academic.oup.com/ofid/advance... Gave a read to this new article on #meded and #planetaryhealth. Couldn't find the lead authors here on bluesky. If you know please tag. Great job! #IDsky #climatechange

Let's wrap up #WAAW with an amazing review paper on antimicrobial waste in pediatric hospitals by @alexplattner.bsky.social et al. #IDSky #PedsIDsky #pharmsky #healthcaresustainability academic.oup.com/jpids/advanc...
