I wonder if our hosts are aware of the Climate Psychiatry Alliance (https://www.climatepsychiatry.org/), which allows one to register as a “climate-aware therapist”.
My daughter is starting a PHD in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology. I have her watch/read most of the Vinay Prasad material -- very important formative analysis.
I enjoyed immensely your comment in this discussion regarding “football in West Texas” because I grew up in that part of Texas in a small and desolate town. Picture the tumbleweeds, the blowing sand, and the rattlesnakes. Yes, I played one year of football (as a very scrawny 126-pound freshman tailback — you learn how to run REALLY fast when some huge lineman named Bubba is wearing the enemy uniform). My mother crafted a novel tale, which she used very histrionically to argue that I should probably, in my next three years of high school, branch out into some other team sports — she did so by reflecting on her memories about a distant cousin who had his pancreas neatly divided by the blunt trauma of a head-butt tackle in high school. He tolerated an operation, losing the tail of that organ, had no complications whatsoever, and then lived to be 93 years old according to my best information. He fell from a tree in the back yard while tackling a crooked branch with a small chain saw, arriving DOA at the local ER where (you can’t make this up) some young “certified emergency medicine specialist” was shouting into his very dead left ear, “You are doing a real good job Mr. Archer”.

The APA also put out a position statement on climate change: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/climate-change-and-mental-health-connections
You may think it’s ridiculous, but this stuff is mainstream.
Enjoyed this discussion very much. Looking forward to the next one,
John Mandrola will tell us the truth about the latest, sexy treatment. It’s just more expensive and do not advance the field. Amen.
