⚠️Em dezembro de 2025, o excesso de mortalidade quase igualou o de um dezembro da pandemia de COVID-19 - o 2.º pior mês dos últimos 25 anos.
❄️Não é “o frio” que mata: é a falta de proteção, mais concretamente a pobreza energética, que afeta 16% da população portuguesa.

Within the @eugloh.bsky.social initiative, we bring fieldwork online by turning students’ local places into living labs!

🗺️Mortality in Portugal shows a clear territorial divide.
💶This long-standing pattern reflects deeper socioeconomic inequalities that continue to shape health outcomes across regions.
⚖️Understanding these dynamics is key to advancing health equity.

📰 New in Social Science & Medicine: Health impacts of displacement in Porto’s housing crisis.
Being forced out of home is much more than moving healthwise! It’s root shock: loss of place, ties & security, with real consequences for health.

O calor extremo afeta desigualmente os idosos — não só por fatores fisiológicos, mas porque envelhecimento demográfico, pobreza energética, isolamento e exposição ao calor coincidem no território.
Falei sobre isso ao @Publico: www.publico.pt/2025/07/15/a...
Exciting News! 🏆
Honoured to receive the Seal of Quality for Pedagogical Innovation 2024 from @UPorto for our course "Health, Wellbeing, & Architecture."
