Keynote K3 Reducing Gun Violence Through Advocacy - “At the most basic level, #advocacy is storytelling, naming what we see” Fatimah Loren Dreier of The HAVI #ATS2023

why am I conducting shared decision making for #lungcancer screening through the passenger window of a van? 🤔 come to my poster board P886 from 11:30 - 1:15 today to learn more about Indigenous community based approaches to increase 🫁 screening #ATS2023 ATS TO Assembly ATS BSHSR

Inspiring to hear FatimahLoren and the other panelists discuss hospital-based violence prevention programs and how all of us in healthcare have the ability and obligation to act for our communities. #ATS2023

Air pollution is a Category 1 carcinogen. Pollution and climate change are harming our health and are a key issue for #healthequity. Dr. Joan Schiller presents on the link between pollution and cancer. #ATS2023 ATS TO Assembly ATS BSHSR Abbie Begnaud, MD, FCCP

Going above and beyond is her baseline!! So lucky to call Abbie Begnaud, MD, FCCP a colleague and friend! #ATS2023

Amazing work presented by Dr. Arianne Baldomero on urban/rural disparities in COPD care for Veterans! #ATS2023 @MPLS_CCDOR UMN DOM Research ATS BSHSR

I love seeing our VA decked for #PrideMonth! We're here to support ALL our Veterans. Happy #Pride!

Honored to meet VA Secretary Doug Collins and Senator Amy Klobuchar advocating for Veterans Health yesterday at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System. The window for retroactive benefits under the PACT act is closing. Tell any Veterans you know to register before August 9th! ATS TO Assembly @MPLS_CCDOR UMN DOM Research

Really excited to hype this important paper from Crystal Brown and colleagues about addressing anti-Black racism that patients experience during medical care. I'm excited for more tools to provide better care and to address with patients and colleagues. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

So glad for this research to get out there and to have had a role in this important project! ATS BSHSR ATS TO Assembly Julie A. Barta, MD

Great opportunity today to present at the GO2 for Lung Cancer Summit today. Are incidental findings the most exciting part of lung cancer screening? Maybe not but ensuring we do (or don't!) follow them up is hugely important. @MPLS_CCDOR Abbie Begnaud, MD, FCCP UMN DOM Research

Glad to see our work highlighted. For such a leading cause of death, clinicians get very little training. @MPLS_CCDOR ATS BSHSR ATS TO Assembly

Tobacco use remains a leading cause of pulmonary disease. Yet, little time is devoted to tobacco dependence treatment training and clinicians are minimally evaluated to ensure they are competent to provide this care. drmelzer 🔗 bit.ly/48fEtdA

Happy to say our latest article is published! We found that tobacco use, professional dental cleaning habits, and lung adenocarcinoma are associated with lung and bronchial microbiome diversity and composition. link.springer.com/10.1186/s12931…

Best decision ever!!

Brooke Hirsch crushing it at her ATS poster discussion. Great work disseminating our lessons learned improving lung cancer screening for rural Veterans. #ats2024 ATS BSHSR @MPLS_CCDOR ATS TO Assembly UMN DOM Research

UMN crushing it at the #ats2024 diversity forum. Congratulations Beth Ato.a and Leah Bolden for winning URM schola4ship awards! ATS BSHSR UMN DOM Research

Lung cancer in people who have never smoked is rising. Today we asked "Is it in the air?". Vaping, cannabis, air pollution, and more. What an amazing group of speakers. ATS TO Assembly American Thoracic Society (ATS) #ats2024

Proud of Alyssa Anton for her multi-poster day at #ats2024 Great engagement and very proud! Action shot.

When your sessions are at the same time, mentorship requires comfy shoes. So proud of Dr. Beth Atoma presenting her research on improving mechanical ventilation in LMIC. She's going to crush it in fellowship next year. #ats2024 ATS BSHSR @MPLS_CCDOR UMN DOM Research
