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!

Woke up once in a cold sweat thinking I’d become a specialist in lymphatic hydraulics. So let me own that. Please — even if someone else asked you first, would mean a lot to me.
(this is my first post in, like, a long time. It means that much. . .)

Drs Brauer & Henderson are each inspirations to me. One can only aspire to have their impact. ThankS @UBCmedicine for highlighting our work - when I started in air pollution (‘01) I truly thought the topic might fade but climate change has just amplified @Legacyairway @COERD_UBC
