@mediawhizz If you like ottolenghi, try Tero. Not 100% veggie but close enough

@MarinaRomanell2 hello 👋 we haven't met (yet) but my team have been trying yo reach you. I'm not sure we have the correct email address. Could you perhaps send a mail or direct message? Alexandra.latham@friendsofeurope.org thanks!

You are about to die because the room is overheating. You've tried everything to get them to turn down the heat but for whatever reason the people monitoring the cameras aren't doing anything. You have a can of soup and there's a famous painting protected by glass

Brussels, we have some serious soul-searching to do re our local democracy and broken governance #goodmove

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

@CraigWinneker @mediawhizz Becuase they think it makes them sound clever. I can't be the only person that's been asked to change a text to make the ideas seem more complicated. (... Something something self-perpetuating and self-serving cycle of elitism something something...)

@mediawhizz I actually think a lot of them have a conscious policy of writing to obfuscate. It's like a secret language people seem to enjoy using and they don't mind that no one else understands

@dorsie78 Yes! In October there'll be a hearing in the flemish parl thanks to canal it up canalitup.org/en/deposit-pet… They also organise litter-picking kayak trips which are really fun. You see the city from a whole new perspective and it's wayyy more satisfying than cleaning up at home 🙃

I just endorsed the campaign for a #FossilFuelTreaty calling for a new international mechanism to manage a just global transition. Health organisations + professionals now have their own place of this call ➡️fossilfueltreaty.org/health-letter

Next Tuesday we'll be talking about the potential to prevent cancer *and* make the planet a nicer place to live. Health, environment, urban, + occupational health communities trying figure out how, plus new evidence from @EUEnvironment on the environmental determinants of cancer

How are migrant children self-integrating in their new schools? What kind of classroom support can help them integrate? @ChildUP_EU conference tomorrow >> child-up.eu/news/the-child…

Sixty years ago, Congo’s independence leader Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. His only known remains are a golden-capped tooth, brought to Belgium as a “hunting trophy.” Today, Lumumba’s tooth is the center of attention. 🧵

🌈 #17mai : Journée mondiale contre l'#homophobie, la #transphobie et la #biphobie ➡️ "Face à l’intolérance, à nous de faire la différence", une campagne récompensée 4 fois, qui vise à lutter contre les discriminations et leur impact sur la santé santepubliquefrance.fr/les-actualites…

The new European Health Data Space proposal has a few things to say about access to data on health determinants for research + links to other sectors. Curious how this will help research into promoting health and reducing health inequalities #ehds @CHAIN_NTNU

Things being what they are, I feel like this is a big ask

the final line of the new ipcc report is the only one you really need to know about today

How did public health agencies and services communicate with specific groups during the #COVID19 pandemic? Latest #policysnapshot now available on our Health System Response Monitor👉tinyurl.com/53jzkhw9 By @AlexandraLatham @Prolepsis @EuroHealthNet 1/2

The European Journal of Public Health is a great resource, so making its content available for free via #OpenAccess is very welcome indeed! @EUPHActs

Bit proud of our work rebranding @EuroHealthNet and developing a shiny new accessible, easy to use website. A pleasure to be part of the dreamteam @cverdonschot9 and @KathiYacoub

Maybe some good (breaking) news on health from #COP26! Panama just announced they want the final text to 'recognise the importance of international collaboration to understand and address the implications of climate change on global health.' #healthyclimate
