In many articles about the blast, you’ll frequently read ā€œIt still isn’t completely clear what caused the explosion.ā€ This isn't true. We don't know what caused the fire. We know that if the AN had been stored safely, the fire wouldn’t have led to a catastrophic explosion.

I left Gaza yesturday. My heart and my soul are still there with my patients. I remember their names and their wounds. I will fight until they receive the treatment they need and the justice they deserve. My heart is broken in ways I never knew was possible.

Thanks U.S. Department of Labor for running #EEOICPA, which has provided >$25 Billion to compensate nuclear weapons workers sickened by exposure to #radiation, #beryllium, #asbestos, or other hazards. I'm proud to be the program's architect and for helping shepherd it through Congress in 2000.

In the COVID pandemic, the public health & worker safety regulatory systems failed US workers. 1000s died. Some lessons so we don't repeat this tragedy in the next pandemic. In The BMJ, with Emily Spieler & Gregory Wagner. 1/ tinyurl.com/4aaz4ckp

I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.

Exposure to silica while fabricating artificial stone countertops is giving immigrant workers severe silicosis. >100 cases in Los Angeles. Also Florida & now Illinois. But few elsewhere. Why? Not enough docs are looking for cases. Find a case. Call OSHA. Save a life.

Historically, state & local laws often required public health protections. Approached strategically, these laws can also influence national policies, esp. in environ & workplace health, since regulated businesses want consistency across jurisdictions. tinyurl.com/rfty6e95
