NEXUS is a bold effort to push the boundaries of what’s possible in environmental health science. We’re working to ensure that the environmental factors driving health and disease are no longer overlooked. Website: nexus-exposomics.org/about.html @GaryWMiller3 @RimaHabre_ScD @chiragjp

if we want to Make America Healthy Again, shouldn't we build affordable housing in mixed use, walkable neighborhoods so ppl can incorporate walking into their daily lives instead of find the time and discipline to go to the gym?

“So that $1 billion that the University of Alabama, Birmingham, received from the N.I.H. in recent years? If the N.I.H. cuts had been in place, the school would have had to come up with about $228 million to keep the lights on and to comply with all the regulations. Since the entire endowment of U.A.B. is about $1 billion, it couldn’t simply have written the check. Instead, it would most likely have had to shut down a good deal of its research.” @zeynep
