I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed for the Finnish Medical Journal. I talk about how we teach #PlanetaryHealth at the University of Helsinki and about the PlanetaryHealth[.]now MOOC launching this autumn. Read the full article (in Finnish) here:

How do you become an Agent of Change? As our environment faces mounting pressures from environmental change, we must strive to move beyond apathy/anxiety, towards awareness and transformative action. In this panel discussion we explore these topics

Finnish cohort study (n=669474) finds that ACT [antenatal corticosteroid treatment] exposure among those born late preterm or term ➡️ significantly higher risk of infectious diseases at ages 5-10 vs. nonexposed children of the same gestational age.

Today I had the great pleasure of attending the EduFair event at Helsinki University’s Faculty of Medicine. I spoke about some of the pedagogical methods used in the upcoming Planetary Health MOOC and additionally presented a poster on possible future research opportunities related to the course.

📣 New findings from Lahti-Pulkkinen et al.

- New method for defining ranges for 18 steroids in pregnancy

- Progestogens, mineralo- & glucocorticoids & estrogens increase across pregnancy

- Androgens: no consistent change from early to late pregnancy

📣 New research:

In this Finnish cohort comprising 77 young adults born #preterm at very low birth weight, #VLBW, <1500g) & 70 term-born siblings, we found that those born at VLBW had more centralized fat distribution & lower appendicular skeletal muscle mass compared with their siblings…

New #ResearchRetrospective

In this study, published in Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology (@wiley.com) in 2022, we found that adults born preterm at very low birth weight (#VLBW, <1.5kg) had lower bone mineral density than their term-born siblings.

Continuing the theme of my previous post, I had the great pleasure of presenting the #PlanetaryHealth #MOOC at the ’Reimagining Online Learning’ seminar at #Tiedekulma, Helsinki earlier this week!

Today I had the privilege of giving a lecture on #PlanetaryHealth for a small group of #Erasmus exchange students at the University of Helsinki. It was very inspiring to hear how medical students from other parts of Europe relate to the topic. 🧪🌍

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome to Bluesky! 🦋 To begin with, my posts will alternate between #ResearchRetrospectives and topics relating to the development of the new @helsinkiuni.bsky.social #PlanetaryHealth 🌍 #MOOC.

#ClimateCrisis crisis deepens with 2024 ‘virtually certain’ to be hottest year on record, says @CopernicusECMWF

- It will also be the first to have an average temperature of more than 1.5C above preindustrial levels

Story by me
www.theguardian.com/environment/...

[1/3]Last year, we reported that children who received 3x daily #vitaminD supplementation (30 µg vs 10 µg) between ages 0-2y were less likely to have clinically significant internalizing problems (i.e. depressed mood, anxiety, and withdrawn behaviour) at age 6-8y.
