We urge the 2nd round to prioritize spillover prevention and go beyond current aims to strengthen disease surveillance, laboratory systems, and health workforce.

Elsevier's revenue: £2.9 billion. WTF?
We scientists produce the content for manuscripts and review for free. Then we pay huge fees for open access publishing. Science should not be business. What on earth can we do to fight against this?

Great visualization of how climate change drives disease emergence and spread and impacts human health from @AP ; While yes the world has tools to address these challenges, they need to be scaled up and operationalized from the bottom up and top down https://t.co/HfQSzt54Ms

Interesting to see some of the people who denied the science of masks for preventing coronavirus transmission suddenly accepting that masks protect us from wildfire particles. It’s clear their stance against masks for COVID wasn’t based on data, but was due to political beliefs.

The United Nations building surrounded by an apocalyptic orange sky is the perfect image for how world leaders have failed at stopping the climate crisis.
