As the director of @ecdc.europa.eu it was such a pleasure to meet with Commissioner Hadja Lahbib yesterday to discuss how we together can strengthen our continental preparedness.

@ec.europa.eu
#Preparedness #PublicHealth

EU agencies continue to team up to provide the best available 🔬 scientific advise in support of a healthy European Union and safe 🍲 #foodsystems !

Read our last recommendation and spread the word! #onehealth
Together we are stronger! 💪

The @efsa.europa.eu, sister #OneHealth EU Agencies & @ec.europa.eu's Joint Research Centre have published a report on azole fungicide resistance.

The use of azoles, particularly in agriculture, risks making key treatments ineffective, threatening #PublicHealth

Science could solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Why aren’t governments using it? A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers.

Timely article exploring the need for and different mechanisms of science advice into policy. It has to be said though you HAVE to engage the public because the rising tide of dis &mis information (that the Trump administration will worsen) is a threat that erodes all we can do 🧪#SciCom

Because digital solutions keep moving forward, as @efsa-eu.bsky.social ventures into Bluesky .... so does its Chief Scientist. Stay tuned in! 👍

ECDC’s director is at the European Parliament for a joint ENVI Committee hearing with the heads of EMA, @efsa-eu.bsky.social, ECHA & EEA to highlight the importance of a #OneHealth approach to threats like #pandemics, #AMR & #ClimateChange.

What does antimicrobial resistance mean for everyone? It means that most medicines we rely on to save lives may stop working. An image showing pills and explaining what antimicrobial resistance is.

What does #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) mean to you and me?
💊 AMR happens when dangerous bacteria become resistant to life-saving medicines, making treatment difficult or even impossible

💊 AMR means the medicines we rely on may stop working
