What a sad story of police officers bearing a disproportionate brunt of air pollution! Work From Home is simply not an option for them. And neither is not being on the road for 12+ hours to control traffic, or law & order. Read this story by Drishti Jain. Air Pollution affects all, including our persons in uniform. Governments should act immediately and EFFECTIVELY! #WeDeserveAQI50 #LetUsBreathe

Dear math students, math enthusiasts and anyone curious... This book is really a pure joy to read. It is a story about a very eccentric Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdös (pronounced air-dish ?). He lived out of a suitcase, apparently, and traveled the world to connect with

Air quality data from rural India is few and far between. A group of village women from Jharkhand are set to change it. They have monitored and collected bottom-up data on air pollution in 10 panchayats. I write about their efforts in @KashmirTimes_ Read: shorturl.at/P9Dox

Every year South Asia’s brick kilns spew as much CO₂ as the entire U.S. car fleet. They poison the air 2B people breathe—and kill over 50,000 annually A new study in Science supported by @stanfordimpact @open_phil & @JPAL shows how simple fixes can clean air & cut emissions🧵⬇️
Science Magazine@ScienceMagazine

Simple and inexpensive interventions aimed at making changes in how Bangladesh’s informal brink kilns operate could dramatically cut emissions and boost profits for producers, according to a new Science study. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/4k9CsoV

Effect sizes in the literature on the causal effects of air pollution are exaggerated by publication bias, p-hacking, and low power. Most published estimates are not trustworthy.

I loved being in India. My first time. I was shocked by how normalized Indians are to poor air quality. Breathing the air is like smoking multiple cigarettes a day. Yet no one wears a mask or has air filters in their indoor environments. The evidence shows that India would improve the health of its population more by cleaning up air quality than by curing all cancers. I am unsure why India's leaders do not make air quality a national emergency. I don't know what interests, money and power keep things the way they are but it's really bad for the entire country.

How did 3M’s “forever chemicals” end up in all of us? @fastlerner reports the inside story of the corporate scientists who discovered—then helped to conceal—the dangers of its chemicals. nyer.cm/8BcLYHI

So happy to see you do this. I had some of the most absorbed listeners at Univ of Kashmir. If you need any slides on this, let me know.
TheVagabondScholar@sheikh__ridwan

Just to carry forward on what @AbhiroopMukho has started. The focus would be to introduce participants to the new literature on recent advances in DiD design, the little I know. It is always great to go back to your alma mater, hope to see you soon. The workshop would be offline
