🔥New Study🔥 We see reduced under-5 mortality from a widespread nationwide transition from cooking with firewood to cooking with gas over 30 years in Ecuador.

Forget about discount rates. This new guidance on capturing distributional concerns is the show stopper. Because this isn't just an assumption tweak. It's an entirely different approach to cost-benefit analysis. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

A bit late to the parade... but a huge congratulations to Misbath Daouda for her truly excellent dissertation defense and her new position at UC Berkeley! Working with you has been an absolute delight and I can't wait to see what you do next.

very exciting workshop earlier this week with Government of Ghana partners on our clean household energy transition collaboration (Kintampo Health Research Centre (KHRC) + UCSB Bren School + ColumbiaPublicHealth)

Does cooking with gas increase health risks? Our new randomized study says yes. We find that NO2 exposures are 50% higher when you cook with gas vs. induction.

fascinating day yesterday at the International Energy Agency Clean Cooking in Africa summit. Running into former postdoc Abhishek Kar was a highlight!

Impactful research providing Kampala-specific reference-grade PM2.5 air pollution exposures and burden of disease estimates - congrats to Atuyambe Lynn, Etajak Samuel and the rest of the Makerere University School of Public Health GEOHealth Hub in Kampala. nature.com/articles/s4137…
