Picture this. Teams of passionate hardcore scientists compete to collect data across as much thawing permafrost in Alaska as possible to improve prediction of climate change feedbacks. This is us next week & it’s the biggest campaign I’ve ever organized. Stay tuned!! @CUBoulder

The recent decline in overdose deaths "is the same pattern we saw on the East Coast," said ADAI/@UWPsychiatry's Caleb @BantaGreen. The decline is likely because so many people using fentanyl have already died, as well as because of the "stunning" work of public health teams.
King County is starting to see fewer fatal fentanyl overdoses, after recording staggering death counts in 2023. It's a hopeful sign, public health teams say. st.news/3z1pmrN
Looking forward to this!
