In our new paper published in JECH_BMJ we find that unemployment can lead to higher #opioid prescribing rates in England. We must act before this becomes a major public health crisis. jech.bmj.com/content/early/… #opioidcrisis #opioidepidemic #publichealth

It was fascinating to hear so many excellent studies at Public Health Research and Science Conference 2021. Thank you for having me present our study at two sessions. #phrsc2021 Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability

Now up, Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability HPRU researcher associate Xiangpu Gong discussing noise pollution around Heathrow airport at #ExposureScience22

We are now hearing from Xiangpu Gong and Ben Fenech on the health effects of noise. #noisepollution

Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability and UK Health Security Agency have mapped the health impacts of transport noise in England. Noise can increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes, depression and anxiety. Find out more here: ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2023/06/29/noi… UoL Press Office UoL Population Health Sciences

Light and noise are pollution are 'neglected pollutants' in need of renewed focus, concludes a House of Lords Science and Technology Committee report. Published today, Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability noise work features prominently. University of Leicester UoL Press Office committees.parliament.uk/committee/193/…

Wow this is so unexpected.

Good to see #NIHRLeicesterBRC Professor Anna Hansell's contribution to Lords Science & Technology Committee being featured in The Guardian newspaper. "Light and noise pollution ‘are neglected health hazards’, say peers." @NIHRevidence 👉theguardian.com/environment/20…

key points: - Ban on care workers bringing in dependents - Minimum salary for foreign skilled workers hiked to £38.7K - Shortage occupation list scrapped - Minimum income to bring in spouse raised to £38,700 - Two year graduate visa reviewed

Very pleased that our paper on aircraft noise and sleep is published today. We found higher aircraft noise was associated with sleep disturbance and changes in sleep-wake cycle, using data from 105,000 participants in the UK Biobank study ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EH…

Huge Congratulations to Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability and UK Health Security Agency colleagues who last night were awarded the John Connell Innovation Award 2024 for their work on the burden of disease from noise in England Noise Abatement Soc.

We are delighted to be one of 13 National Institute for Health and Care Research Health Protection Research Units. Working with UK Health Security Agency and @HSE, the £5.5M award will focus on understanding how the chemicals we are exposed to daily can impact our health Research at Leicester's Hospitals

🚨Thrilled to share our new paper "Causal Claims in Economics"! 🚨 Thiemo Fetzer 🇪🇺🇺🇦 - same handle elsewhere and I analysed over 44,000 economics papers using AI to create a knowledge graph of economics and map out causal relationships. Here's what we found 🧵👇
