One of my first ever papers documented medical needs in a hard-hit community after my country 🇵🇭 braved #Haiyan, the strongest typhoon to ever hit landfall.

Now, as a D&I researcher at #discience24, I now wonder how we could have studied the response then.

Grateful that #AcademyHealth #discience24 discussed how D&I can help improve response to emergencies & disasters. Excited to see future work that takes up the charge!

Short thread on my limited experience on the topic follows 🧵

I’m attending #AcademyHealth #discience24! There’s a talk on climate science & relating with D&I.

As a citizen of a heavily-impacted LMIC, I wonder if it’s part of the convo to build skill and investment for D&I within LMICs to address health impacts.
