Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (https://t.co/gNIbWRdqEj), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

Back in the lab - picking mould for @MARAf_UK - and remembering why I enjoyed my #PhD so much. 😊 #LabWork #Aspergillus #AMR

Yesterday we held a fascinating session on the potential of, & risks associated with fungi. We heard from a range of witnesses - including @MerlinSheldrake, @KatieField4, @fisher_mat @KewScience. Professor Fisher pointed to the dangers of mold.

[1] EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE DRUG-RESISTANT FUNGAL SPORES IN THE UK

New in @ScienceAdvances, our study involved 485 citizen scientists from across the UK to determine the background level of drug-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus spores in the air: https://t.co/XOsTVH5BZx
