Prof, does this imply that a successful school should always be broke?

Fair point! That said, major trade partners of Russia in 2024 included China ($244.8B), the EU ($77.8B), India ($68.7B), and Turkey ($44.2B). Once again, my point of argument is that the issue isn't just about trade volumes—it's about the consistency and fairness with which standards are applied.

Thanks for the comment! As you mentioned, both the US and the EU have indeed provided aid to Ukraine. At the same time, they have continued trading with Russia. The real point of contention here is whether those who are pointing fingers have held themselves to the same standard.

Casting aspersions on India, while the US and the EU engaged in bilateral trade with Russia amounting to around €70 billion in goods throughout 2024, accentuates glaring double standards. An apt and factual rejoinder from the Ministry of External Affairs of India: www.mea.gov.in/Speeches-Sta...

Interesting findings, but how does the newly introduced 'connectivity' metric account for confounding factors like shared antibiotic use patterns or environmental contamination when determining ARG transmission between soil and human-associated E. coli genomes?

Global soil antibiotic resistance genes are associated with increasing risk and connectivity to human resistome - Nature Communications In this study, the authors analyze global soil metagenomic datasets and genomes of clinical E. coli isolates and show that the risk associated with antimicrobial resistance genes found in soil as well...

Bacteria in soil are carrying more #AMR genes that are also found in people. Hence, the germs in soil and humans are becoming more similar, likely because these genes are being shared, and that could make it harder to treat infections if the trend continues.

Up to 1 in 5 Americans Think They're Allergic to Penicillin. Most Aren't. Imagine this: You're at your doctor's office with a sore throat.

Most people who say they’re allergic to penicillin aren’t. Less than 1% truly are. Colleagues use detailed interviews and safe skin or oral tests to confirm allergies, helping avoid unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotics and fight #AMR.

How falling vaccination rates are fueling the antibiotic resistance crisis - Castlegar Source By Dr. Ruchika Gupta,  Assistant Professor, Western Univeristy Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest health threats we face today. It’s often blamed on the overuse of antibiotics, and for a good...

Low vaccination rates lead to more infections and antibiotic use, driving resistance. Vaccines help prevent this and protect antibiotic effectiveness.

The tantalizing question now is: who will take credit for this “historic peace deal” forged by imposing tariffs, and will he be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for it? Any guesses?

The world left its fight against tuberculosis unfinished — how can we complete the job? If we get it right, the world could save more than 1.2 million lives every year.

#TB drug patents are falling, new oral treatments are faster and cheaper, and even drug-resistant cases are now treatable. The science has moved. The question is: will policy catch up?

Budget cuts close UK body tackling antimicrobial resistance Move to close Fleming Fund also threatens standing as a reliable global partner

UK has shut down the £265 million #FlemingFund, which supported #AMR surveillance in 25 LMICs, due to aid budget cuts tied to increased defense spending. This move will harm global health and damage UK's reputation as a reliable international partner in fighting AMR.

Absolutely mesmerizing :)

Thank you, Dr. Schwarzer, for your continued support on this endeavor 🙏

Congrats Sudhanshu! Well deserved 👏👏👏

It is disheartening to see the current state of the West Indian cricket team, once the mighty "Black Storm," now struggling to stay competitive. One can only hope that legends like Sir Vivian Richards might help revive its former glory.

Nobel Peace Prize paradox:
Nominations are secret for 50 years. Still, politicians apparently leak their own to score points now. A prize meant to honor real peacemakers should not be used as a PR stunt.
