🚨 NEW STUDY: Despite falling CA air pollution 1980-2022, relative racial disparities in short-term NO₂ exposure worsened.
➡️ Hispanic/Latino communities faced 3X MORE high-pollution days (>50µg/m³) than White residents in 2020.

This seems to reflect a wider (and woefully misguided) shift in US health research strategy, away from well-designed studies and careful research questions, towards an attitude that we can get all the answers by just scraping various routine datasets and chucking some rushed analysis at them.
Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

Her har vi (dessverre) en sterk kontrast til Norges såkalte "satsning" på forskning i nåværende periode: Sverige ser ut til å gjøre en reell innsats. Det er vanskelig å forstå hvorfor Norge sakker akterut i denne konkurransen - tilsynelatende en villet politikk.
Sveriges forskningssatsing vekker oppsikt: — Vi skal ikke være det «passe bra» landet
— Vi skal konkurrere med de beste i verden, sier Sveriges minister for forskning og høyere utdanning, som øker forskningsbudsjettet med 6,5 milliarder svenske kroner.
