Today's episode of @NPRShortWave podcast gives a great overview of What if Fungi Win?, the book I wrote with @ACasadevall1 for @JHUPress. It's short and worth your time.

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.

Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.

This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

Another terrific chat with @ACasadevall1. Worth a listen!

[Public Health On Call @PublicHealthPod]

A fungus declared a "critical pathogen" by @WHO has been raising concerns about its ability to evolve beyond infection control measures. As climate change accelerates its spread, @ACasadevall1 talks about preventing infections before treatments fail.

Really interesting piece by @KennethBaer and friends. They even name names!

#DNC2024 starts today, but the planning went on for weeks. @JeffreyNussbaum, @ErikSmithDC, and I draw on 6 conventions-worth of work to dish on what goes on behind the scenes. If you have a fave Dem pol from 20 yrs ago, they're probably namechecked! https://t.co/c8jEbRdpOH
