New paper 📣 A systematic review that I did the searches for has been published. I'm really pleased with this one. It turned into an unexpected monster. #sysrev #medlibs Press release: www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/cen... Paper: doi.org/10.1016/S254...

New paper alert!

Hi Friends! Getting started on Bsky as my new-COP-cycle resolution. While I wouldn't want to encourage a more siloed conversation, I hope the discussion can be more constructive here (and contribute less to a company whose values I don't share). That said, anyone else overwhelmed by social media?

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better.

Second largest COP and yet the passes for health sector observer organisations were slashed significantly and many heads of state and senior decision makers not attending... Last year featured the first COP health day with a call for fossil fuel phase out. Coincidence?

Nice to see UKHACC joining bluesky coming with an important message - everyone give them a warm welcome!

Hey Bluesky! I'm here looking for a community of scientists that talk about conservation and climate change. My previous work showed that over half of these people left Twitter after Elon Musk's takeover in 2022. www.theguardian.com/environment/... www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Hello Bluesky Perhaps appropriately, my 1st post is on the lack of blue skies in Delhi 😷 #AirPollution My report in Health Policy Watch on how a major pollution source may be being under-reported and why that matters for enforcement. #COP29 healthpolicy-watch.news/delhi-air-po...

"Although this outcome avoids the worst, it does not improve the situation, which is further worsened by all the numerous free-wheeling voluntary carbon market announcements that were made throughout the two weeks of the COP"
