Public health shouldn’t be centred around individual behaviour change. It should be focused on changing the wider commercial, social, environmental & ultimately political determinants of health. Behaviour change will naturally come when healthy behaviours are facilitated by those structural changes.

Outdated rules, minimal checks… feels like a recurrent story for UK environment, with predictable impacts on nature and human health www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And potentially reducing environmental impact in addition I would presume… radiology has significant emissions related to machine use and data storage, amongst other factors. There’s a real need to rationalise this, would be great to see in this editorial/paper… #sustainablehealthcare #radiology

Love this time of year, when every run is punctuated by stops to collect these lovelies. Anyone else’s pockets full at the end of every outing?!

Happy to share our new research on UK climate politics 🚨 We found Members of Parliament (MPs) use the language of climate "pragmatism" to avoid rapid change. It risks becoming a new discourse of delay. More detail below and in 🧵 1/ theconversation.com/politicians-...

New paper! We take a critical look at co-benefits approaches to environmentally sustainable healthcare, based on a series of 12 focus groups we held with members of the public across the UK. Full paper now Sociology of Health & Illness. Key findings 👇 doi.org/10.1111/1467...

We still have a few spaces for our event with OxCODE, 'New vaccines that aim to prevent cancer: Starting the conversation', taking place on Monday 2nd June at St Anne's College, Oxford. Details & schedule can be found here: cpm.ox.ac.uk/event/cancer... Email [email protected] to book your place.

If you're interested in #sustainablehealthcare and responsible pharmaceuticals, and in Oxford on 12 June, this will be a really interesting discussion. Hopefully see you there @sarashaw.bsky.social, thanks for the heads up!

Really looking forward to this tomorrow! If you’d like to come follow the link below (in person, Oxford) #genomics #geneticcounselling #denovo

We’re looking for 2 new Junior Research Fellows to join the @cpmoxford.bsky.social team from September. If you’re an early career academic (incl Dphils) interested in supporting the development of equitable and effective personalised medicine check out the advert. Deadline 16th May.

On the wards this week, medicines exposed to extreme temperatures above optimum storage conditions because the 1960s hospital buildings are not adapted to a changing climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New paper claxon! 📢 In this paper we draw on care ethics to show how moral decision making around healthcare's environmental impact occurs in the context of relationships with others, not simply via top-down principles commonly discussed in the theoretical space. More info/thoughts in thread👇

Abstract submission now open for the UK National Climate Impacts meeting. Climate and health focus on one day, and a general impacts/risks focus on the other. We would love to see you. @eunicelo.bsky.social @richardabetts.bsky.social @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social www.climatebristol.org/projects/nci...

Super paper from some super talented colleagues… CMV positivity related to better outcomes and lower toxicity with PD1 blockade, and potential protection from MM development. Lots of interesting avenues to follow and very relevant to treatment stratification 👏

Will definitely be reading the books on climate fiction prize shortlist. Though the phrase “some are even hopeful” really struck me in this article. Rather than dystopia, I’d love more portrayals of what a better future could look like please novelists!! TIA! 💙📚 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Interesting paper just out in @thelancetplanet.bsky.social. Global pharma GHG emissions grew 77% from 1995-2019, with HICs having 9-10x higher footprint than LMICs on average. Will continue to rise without coordinated effort... www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Super interesting @cast-centre.bsky.social webinar just now. The need for positive framing around dietary change really resonated with our own work around sustainable change in healthcare, and role of health co-benefits messaging in encouraging dietary change.

So much interesting science presented at @oxfordcancer.bsky.social symposium today, and a brilliant keynote from @trevorgraham.bsky.social on maths of cancer evolution which I actually understood. Which belies extremely skilled delivery of some very simple and some very complex work!

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Leading to the question: what portion of the world’s political lies and malign influence comes from those fossil fuel firms?

"First they came for the toddlers ..." Cruel and counterproductive, as with so many effects of the NRPF rules.

US embassies halt air quality monitoring program. "Since 2008, embassies and other diplomatic posts had been publishing data about local air quality. In many countries, it was the only reliable source of such information."

The White House is uprooting climate policy directly — and now indirectly: European countries are redirecting climate aid to defense budgets. "The world has changed a lot in the last month and there’s no question we have to raise defense spending." 🎁🔗

A study of solar farms in East Anglia in the United Kingdom has shown that they host nearly three times more birds than surrounding croplands. Solar sites maintaining diverse habitats, uncut grass, and hedgerows create vital refuges for declining farmland species. buff.ly/4hTbmBC #ShareGoodNewsToo

“Trumpty Dumpty will get his way, unless the public has something to say…” -the amazing John Lithgow. Sometimes laughter (and resistance of course) is the best way. Drumpf posted “long live the King”. He stated people didn’t have to vote again. He is being serious. This is where the US is headed.

Super excited to announce the launch of THRIVING Food Futures - our new policy research hub funded by @ukri.org and @nihr.bsky.social. Over the next five years we will focus on policies that align UK diets with #NetZero targets and maximise health co-benefits. More details on our website below.

Fantastic to see these very exciting net zero health research hubs launched today, with huge congrats to the amazing @petescarbs.bsky.social who’ll be leading the THRIVING food futures hub. www.nihr.ac.uk/news/new-ps4...

The full exchange between Trump, Zelenskiy and Vance is like nothing I've ever seen before. For that to happen at all is shocking. For it to happen in front of the cameras leaves every diplomatic norm in shreds. Starmer's meeting yesterday might as well have come from another century

Terrific resignation letter by Anneliese Dodds, this.

Heartened to see my own MP Anneliese Dodds standing against the aid budget cuts. We are part of a global community, facing global challenges (many of which we have fuelled). Appalled that we’re following others in slashing international support

“I find it incredible that politicians would be considering this [net zero] as a net cost instead of seeing the potential for their constituents to save money.” Delivering net zero is the path improving living standards. Not to mention all the other benefits to health, communities and nature.

Woke up to this headline on the radio this morning. Going to stop using my radio alarm… it has not been a good day www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Great video on AI, big oil, and climate. And Microsoft! More ‘efficient’ systems just lead to more use and rising emissions (the rebound effect). And sadly, given the societies we’re working in… “short term profit motive will always override your good intention”
