Following the Trump administration's recent executive order to boost #glyphosate production, health experts are raising concerns about what this means for #publichealth. @uwdeohs.bsky.social professor Lianne Sheppard is quoted.

Scientific evidence for the weed killer glyphosate's possible effect on human health “has strengthened for cancer and other end points” in the past decade, DEOHS and @uwbiostat.bsky.social Professor Lianne Sheppard told @sciam.bsky.social. www.scientificamerican.com/article/glyp...

Featured in @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social: The One Health Clinic is a unique partnership w/medical docs & vets serving homeless youth & their pets. 🥼In a 3 yr. period, 80% of the clients who came to the clinic received medical care, though most (~70%) only intended to get help for their pets.
