In our latest paper in Environmental Health Perspectives we found that infrastructure improvements in Atlanta led to fewer overall combined sewer overflow events but those that did occur were associated with more ED visits for GI illness. Led by PhD student Alyssa Miller and co-authored with Stefanie Sarnat .

Congratulations Kayoko Shioda, PhD, DVM, MPH on a very well-deserved honor! I feel very lucky to work with you. sph.emory.edu/news/news-rele…

NEW: Although no longer permitted in new construction, combined sewer systems are still found—and still overflowing—across the US. Miller et al. explored whether upgrades to these systems help matters. Read our summary ➡️ ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EH…

Improvements in aging sewer systems reduced overflows of untreated sewage into the environment, but ER visits for GI illnesses still rose 9% in the days after an overflow, according to new research from Karen Levy, PhD student Alyssa Miller and colleagues. ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EH…

Thanks to Environmental Health Perspectives for putting together a great story about our recent publication on CSOs and GI risk. This work was led by student Alyssa Miller, in collaboration with Stefanie Sarnat.

Fantastic opportunity to work with ... on the cutting edge of wbe!

Words are important. "Adoption" puts the onus on the people designing an intervention to develop solutions that users will want and use. "Compliance" and "adherence" are paternalistic and should be retired from our lexicon.

How do we measure exposure to animal feces? Soooo many ways. Too many ways! Thanks to @April_M_Ballard for cutting through the bull/dog/cat/chicken shit. Now out at: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ggT7574Px9n… With Bethany Caruso Matthew Freeman

The protocol paper for our PAASIM study is now out! We are filling a key gap in knowledge about how community-scale water supply upgrades affect child gut health and development in low-income urban areas. With Matthew Freeman Joe Brown and many others bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/3/e…
