Nice find, Don. I rarely use X anymore for obvious reason (yuck!) but do peek occasionally to pick up your nice shares.

In #COPD, which is the more important risk factor? Age, gender, genetics, or environment? By far the #exposome is the MOST important driver of #COPD. This includes (obviously) smoking, air pollution and other exposures. rdcu.be/eaJlS

I rarely post nowadays, social media has me on the downside of mixed feelings, but couldn’t resist giving big ups to Alyson and Kate, of UBC respiratory medicine and Legacy for airway health, respectively!
Crushing it!

Recently returned from an amazing research placement as part of my @The_MRC fellowship with @PollutionLab @UBC in Vancouver studying effects of pollution and infection on airway disease.

Chris - thank you so much for hosting @DrNeenaJha and I - a great lab in a great city!🙏😊
