“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.”
—Stalin (?)

New research by @rhg.com finds Trump’s anti-climate agenda could result in 1.3 million more deaths globally—from extreme heat only.

The full health toll of America’s Fossil Fuel First agenda remains uncounted.

There are many human health harms associated with climate change. One I never considered until today is reduced Omega-3 fatty acids in seafood, which would likely harm health in myriad ways.

The chest x-ray use pioneered by Alan Hart continues to be extremely important in screening for tuberculosis. Although no one accomplishes anything in isolation, I'd argue that Hart has helped saved MILLIONS of lives because chest x-rays have been so essential in driving down rates of TB globally.
Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.

We have always been here.

My new book, Everything Is Tuberculosis, explores the history of our deadliest infectious disease. It's also about our horrifying present: TB still kills kills over a million people per year, even though it's been curable since the 1950s.
