Please join us for the Norway launch of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change this Thursday. Can be followed on Zoom. I'll present on the impact of heat on pregnancy outcomes and child health. med.uio.no/helsam/english…

@Diyendo @NIHDirector Wow, congrats Diyendo!

🎉 Absolutely thrilled to announce that I've been awarded the prestigious @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award !🚀I’m so excited to join the 2024 cohort of bold, early-stage investigators in the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program. Watch this space !!!💥🌍#NIHHighRisk

Researchers from the Yale School of Public Health have studied how rising temperatures adversely affect human health. A new study finds that exposure to high ambient temperatures during pregnancy can have detrimental impact on the health of the offspring. ow.ly/HNsM50SQceP

"[During the eighth week of pregnancy], a mean weekly temperature of 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) was associated with an almost doubled risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia compared with a mean weekly temperature of 10 degrees C (50 degrees F)."

3) At the population level, our findings add considerably to the field of climate change and pregnancy health. Not only does heat exposure have immediate negative effects on pregnancy (e.g., preterm birth), but there may be long-term consequences for the offspring. 11/11

2) Fortunately, childhood ALL is very rare. At the individual level, it is highly unlikely that exposure to heatwaves will cause childhood ALL. Likewise, it is unlikely that a given child with ALL can trace the "cause" back to exposure to high temperatures in fetal life. 10/11

Excited to see our paper out in @TheLancetPlanet We observed that exposure to high ambient temperatures in early pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. More details follow 🧵 1/11 thelancet.com/journals/lanpl…
