Available Post-Doc: climate change and health research in Latin America at Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel Univ. with Josiah Kephart Details here👉 bit.ly/432EWhk ISEE Env Epi @IseeSnrn #epitwitter #SALURBAL

Great reunion of the JohnsHopkinsEHE class of ‘19 hearing @JordanRKuiper from GW EOH Department speak to us Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel Univ.


New WP, expertly led by Carlos Gould. We show that well-known U-shaped temperature-mortality relationship does not hold for morbidity: ED visits show linear relationship (in CA). This is bad under future climate chg: warming reduces mortality in CA (!) but increases morbidity. 🧵
