Rethinking the role of animals in antimicrobial resistance Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global threat, recognised by WHO, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Organization for Animal Health, and the UN Environment Program as a cross-c...

Animals are too often blamed for antimicrobial resistance—but the real story is more complex. Our new @TheLancetMicrobe paper argues for a fairer, more effective approach. Time to stop the scapegoating and start solving: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #AMR #OneHealth #GlobalHealth

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

Experts Push Back on RFK Jr’s Infection Comments The new Secretary of Health and Human Services has made claims about measles and other communicable diseases that could lead to sickness, and even death, his critics claim.

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”

That is dangerously false.

A graph showing reported measles cases in the United States. The line shows that there were regularly 400-600,000 cases each year until 1963, when the measles vaccine was licensed, at which point cases plummet. In 2000, the elimination of measles was declared.

Vaccines have granted families in wealthy countries the luxury of forgetting what measles, polio, rubella, and other preventable diseases are like.

We're looking at how many millions of lives vaccines have saved.
