I was honored to be among a small group of “women in climate” that Gloria Steinem hosted at her Manhattan home in February. She was warm and welcoming and shared stories of the famous people who had gathered in that room. She was a friend and mentor to so many women.

Tune in tomorrow for The Chronic Truth! Host Kim Nash and I discussed how exposing pregnant moms to environmental stress can increase their child’s odds of chronic illness in adulthood, practical steps the chronically ill should take in our increasingly hot world, & other topics!

It was such an honor to be recognized last week by the place that changed the direction of my life. Thank you to university president and former Nevada governor Brian Sandoval for presenting me with 2025’s Distinguished Alumna award from the Univ of Nevada School of Medicine.

It was wonderful to meet Dr. Mollie Grow and her colleagues at Seattle Children’s Hospital this week, where I gave Grand Rounds on the latest research on wildfire smoke and children’s health. Thank you to Dr. Grow, Dr. Elliott Weiss, and the entire Climate Care Committee at UW Pediatrics!
