@noisecapella Avoidable tragedy. Nice separated bike lane on the bridge, then chaos on both ends. Has been a dangerous intersection for years. Are drivers held accountable for life-ending actions? Is the state accountable for known dangers?

@FAO @UNEP @WHO @WOAH We commissioned 7 @CGDev papers to bring what we can learn from Intergov/Independent panels together as a resource for stakeholders & brought stakeholders from around the world to #Lagos to exchange views and articulate how they'd like to see the panel look and work../5

@FAO @UNEP @WHO @WOAH We want stakeholders to engage thoughtfully in #IPEA creation & future, to raise voices of stakeholders in countries most impacted by #AMR, & to learn from experiences of other Intergov./ Independent Panels so that this one will be effective https://t.co/p2t1kQOj3r. . /4

Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on AMR (QJS=@FAO @UNEP @WHO @WOAH) was charged to design the #AMR evidence panel (IPEA) &, as always, would do so consultatively https://t.co/ceCCie1fSa .../3

In 2024, @UN #GeneralAssembly #UNGA called for an Independent Panel for Evidence for Action against #AntimicrobialResistance. Y'know, like @IPCC_CH but for #AMR. https://t.co/5DzSD55qYb [searching? It's #30].../2

@tonyannett 4th grade - World Book encyclopedia cover to cover. Is this a nerd club badge?

[Tony Annett @tonyannett]

I did this all the time. I spent many wonderful hours reading random encyclopedia entries.

Grateful for the opportunity to testify today.

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing public health threat that demands action. Thank you @SenatorHassan for your leadership and for recognizing the importance of investing in new antibiotics so physicians can continue providing lifesaving care. #PASTEURAct

[IDSA @IDSAInfo]

Innovation is essential to staying ahead of antimicrobial resistance. Thank you @SenToddYoung for highlighting the need to strengthen the antibiotic pipeline and ensure physicians have the tools they need to save lives. #PASTEURAct

The first climate crisis is familiar enough: the world is heating up quickly. The other crisis, argue two researchers, is in climate science itself

A thread on the 50 best fortifications to go and visit in the world according to me. They are all fun for at least one in the family. They are listed in reverse rank order as determined by how much fun, unique and awesome they are.

For haematological cancers in Egyptian children, the leading cause of death was infection, not the cancer itself. For solid tumors, infection was the second leading cause of death.
Treating cancer requires tools to prevent and treat infection as well.
