I always wear a cycle helmet. But can we please have some data behind the level of risk . This kind of messaging portrays cycling as being bigger danger than it it really is.

Crude death rates show that deaths from other forms of transport are a bigger problem see iihs.org/topics/fatality-stati

and injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and-c.

Factor in the health benefits of cycling, if more people cycled (irrespective of helmet wearing) the population would be healthier.

Hi all,

Dr. Doreen Montag, Senior Lecturer in Global Public Health at Queen Mary University of London, asked me to circulate this call for abstracts from those interested in presenting at a workshop on An Eco-health Approach to Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in the context of climate change on March 27, from 2-4 pm. I've attached the circular, but the gist is that possible areas may include food insecurity due to climate change/biodiversity loss, indigenous knowledge, urbanization and sanitation, deteriorating ecosystems and gut microbiota and various others.

1.5yrs ago, I joined the BI department of the University of Amsterdam, to work on data science for and business operations. I witnessed the research and education world from up close again and learned a lot.

Tomorrow, I'll join the ranks of Leiden University Medical Center, as an assistant professor of in . I'm more than excited to work on such a relevant topic, through research and teaching, from the campus in The Hague. On to new endeavors!

I've been asked to be part of a panel on "population health" and so I'm looking for your favourite scene/excerpt from a novel that displays a population--I'm leaning towards something like Bleak House, but what comes to mind when you think of population in literature?

Some from the linked above💡💡💡

“Importantly, in my view, the term ‘genetically similar to’ also helps to avoid the assumption of homogeneity within labels; ‘similar to’ does not imply ‘same as’. Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of across in our sample descriptions. I am more genetically similar to some samples than I am to others, but that does not imply that there are natural groupings. Nor do similarity-based labels imply how I, as an individual, might choose to identify or what distribution of environments I might experience. For example, a person may be genetically similar to 1000 samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has ‘Southern Asian ’ comes much closer to making that linkage in people’s minds.
Working out the of individuals and of groups of people from around the world is a fascinating area of research, but it should not be the day job of the majority of researchers in the field of , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day that aid clear communication.”
