📢 Key messages from our recent study in #PNAS exploring the impacts of extreme #precipitation events on young children’s health in low- and middle-income countries.

Preventable infectious diseases still pose an enormous burden on populations who lack access to essential #vaccines 💉. We need to speed up efforts to identify left-behind populations and address their barriers to receiving life-saving immunization.

"We urgently need to find cost-effective solutions that increase resilience against the impacts of #ClimateChange.” - Scripps postdoc @annakdim, who led a study that associated extreme weather with gastrointestinal problems in children. ⬇️

An excellent article discussing our recent study in #PNAS on the link between droughts, extreme precipitation events, and child health👇
A new study shows abnormal flooding and drought are associated with pediatric diarrhea in some parts of the world. bit.ly/3iBNQzL
4) Improving child feeding practices, hence their general health status, can improve children’s immune resilience and protect them against illness from pathogens accumulated in the environment during droughts and heavy rains.

Identifying cost-effective interventions will be key for #ClimateChangeAdaptation in resource constraint countries.
More research is needed to understand the complex interaction between climate conditions, socioeconomic factors, and population health.

Honoured to have my research conducted together with colleagues from the @WiCVienna featured in the @TheEconomist. The article discusses the role of education for enhancing climate change adaptation in some of the world's most vulnerable regions 📢
Survival of the bookish. Farmers and herders in poor countries desperately need to adapt to climate change. But if they are illiterate, they find change incredibly hard economist.com/international/… from @TheEconomist economist.com/international/…

The beginning of Russia’s mass nationalization program begins today with a law passed allowing Russia to seize all 500 foreign owned airplanes in the country worth $10 billion. Many more expropriations will happen in Russia soon.
