Achieving climate stability as soon as possible and at as low a warming level as humanly possible is in the interest of all humans and life on earth, with the exception of disease-bearing-ticks and fossil fuel executives, basically.

In one month the cost of white bread has gone up 23%. Butter up 25%. Eggs up 29%. Milk up 43%. Cheese up 49%. Inflation on essentials is out of control, over 20% and climbing. Don’t believe them when they say it’s coming down.

‘Policy inertia’ is enabling the products and practices of some commercial actors to cause significant, ongoing harm to health, warn experts. A new Lancet Series argues for a bold system overhaul that puts people and planet first: hubs.li/Q01HD8h_0

My book is done. I need to write a conclusion to the last chapter and will likely rewrite some paragraphs, but I won't make major changes anymore. So if you're interested in building reproducible analytical pipelines with #RStats, take a look it's free: raps-with-r.dev

The British Nutrition Foundation is urging the UK Government NOT to take action on ultra-processed foods, citing baked beans as an example of a 'healthy UPF' - Here's why they're wrong - a thread on the humble baked bean...🧵

In my book I describe how the British Nutrition Foundation is funded by almost every food company you can think of, including Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Mondelēz, PepsiCo, Mars, Danone, Kerry and Cargil. It’s a great example of how these companies influence policy and your health…🧵

One reason why climate change doesnt energise politicians and the public is because we describe heating in terms of temperature. Saying the world has warmed by 1.2 degrees seems like a nice pleasant weekend. Here are some other ways to describe it... (1)

Trainees are representing at #SRNTE2023 ! Yesterday’s symposium focused on vaping and mental health included three fantastic presentations all presented by trainees Bernadett Tildy Eve Emily Hackworth SRNT Europe

BREAKING: Sunak is reneging on many of the UK’s net zero commitments. The worst decision of any Prime Minister in my lifetime. A betrayal of our children, of our international responsibilities, and scientifically illiterate.

❗️A quick reminder to Rishi Sunak- as he seems to have somehow forgotten- that his Government has a legal duty to hit its net zero targets 🙄 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Tory peer Zac Goldsmith, who quit as environment minister in June, describes Sunak’s net zero decision as “a moment of shame” for UK. He also raises question of PM’s mandate… unlikely to be the last to do so.

Imagine gambling the sustainability of life on Earth in the pursuit of preserving power. I’m looking at you, Rishi Sunak.

New paper out by Bernadett Tildy and colleagues!📢 Electronic health records could help to identify the long-term health effects of vaping, pending reliable vaping status data. We investigated how vaping is recorded in UK primary care health records. doi.org/10.1186/s12889…

Congratulations to Bernadett Tildy for passing her PhD viva yesterday! Thank you to Dr Olivia Maynard and Prof Tim Coleman for examining!
