We hope these findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted relationship between climate change and mental health, strengthening the evidence base for climate action policies in the ongoing global fight against climate change 🌍.

Our study suggests that exposure to cold in the Netherlands may be linked to increased internalizing problems, while heat exposure in Spain is associated with more attention problems, highlighting distinct temperature exposure and mental health associations among adolescents.

Cold in the Netherlands ❄️🇳🇱 and heat in Spain 🌡️🇪🇸 affect psychiatric symptoms in adolescents. Check out our paper published in JAMA Network Open! jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

@sofiaguilarl @ProjecteBiSC @ISEE_global Congrats!

So happy to be at the #ISEE2024 presenting our study on exposure to green space during pregnancy and placental DNA methylation in the frame of @ProjecteBiSC 🌳🧬

Always nice to be at the @ProyectoINMA Scientific Conference, this year presenting my work on temperature exposure & mental health symptomology 🌡️♥️

Early life exposure to heat and cold may have lasting impacts on brain white matter🌡🧠 Check out our paper published in Nature Climate Change! rdcu.be/dKALu

📣 Reducing air pollution exposure during the first years of life is determinant for an optimal attention development. Check our study: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The first article of my PhD has just been published! We evaluated how exposure to temperature ☀️❄️ might influence development of the foetus 🫄 in three European birth cohorts 🇬🇧🇳🇱🇪🇸. Curious? Read the article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Receiving a comment from a reviewer after submitting a response to reviewers that took so much effort really made my day ☀️: “The authors have done an impressive work answering all the questions, I have learned very much”. Be like this reviewer. #phdlife #reviewer #envepi

Exciting to be at the Research Perspectives on the Health Impacts of Climate Change 🥵🥶 in Brussels! #EUClimateAndHealth @EUScienceInnov

Had so much fun organizing the 9th ISGlobal PhD Symposium yesterday, loved hearing about all the research we’re doing and discussing different pathways our keynote speakers and RoundTable guests toon after the PhD! @ISGLOBALorg

Had a great and inspiring time at the @ENBEL_H2020 conference on Connecting Health & Climate Change in Stockholm 🌡️🤰

Followed an amazing workshop on Scientific Publishing and How to Read a Paper today. Thanks to @thePaperMilleu & @PRBBIntervals for the organization!

Happy International Women's Day 💜

Too many people suffer from cancer. Both my grandma's, my friend's dad or brother, my aunts...this needs to change. On June 1st I am walking the Alpe d'HuZes. Let's strive for a world where people no longer die from cancer, will you support us? opgevenisgeenoptie.nl/s/18514/22597/t

@alldominguez @stefaniapapath2 @epimikey @mweissko @Jaime_E_Hart @hiyer_epi I saw, such an interesting paper and I’m excited to see what the results will be in other cohorts ☺️

@stefaniapapath2 @epimikey @mweissko @Jaime_E_Hart @hiyer_epi @EsmeeEssers check this out 👀

Our new study is out! Higher temperatures are associated with in-utero fetal growth with brain parameters being particularly vulnerable @epimikey @mweissko @Jaime_E_Hart @hiyer_epi #ClimateCrisis academic.oup.com/ije/advance-ar…

@NataliaOrHe @lorenzoF_SM A really nice read @lorenzoF_SM ☺️
