#CDC @altcdc.altgov.info finds alarming increase of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (not a fan of the NDM name!) producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE) in lab testing & surveillance. This reverses previous declines in CRE. Read research: bit.ly/4nKi2Vo. #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance

Sitting in a flight from LHR London for the past hour or so. We are almost 2 hours late and have no estimate of when we can fly. I just hope it’s safe to fly. At this point I’m less worried about being delayed and more concerned with getting to Delhi safely.

Re-reading this classic book at a time when it’s important to re-reimagine global health. The dismantling of the US supported apparatus will be a shock, but it’s my hope that it’ll also push us to reach a more sustainable, locally-led future.

Hanging out in style! These majestic fruit bats (also known as flying foxes) are enjoying a leafy snack while chilling upside down, because why not? Native to tropical regions, these gentle pollinators play a vital role in maintaining forest ecosystems by dispersing seeds and pollinating plants.

So @bhavnaseth.bsky.social and I thought it was a hummingbird fluttering over the milkweed, until we looked closer. Meet the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth (Hemaris thysbe), a master mimic that hovers and feeds just like its avian namesake. It is a vital native pollinator, drawn to nectar-rich plants.

I’m scared of asking this - but is there an OF porn problem on Bluesky? I recently had a large influx of followers, and an exceptionally large number seemed to mention “no porn or OF” in their bios. I don’t use Bluesky enough to have a good enough sense of what’s going on tho. Hence asking.

This is my workhorse LAMY fountain pen. See through body - feels a bit “plasticky” and cheap to hold. But the smoothness of the nib and flow of ink while writing more than makes up for everything else, all aesthetic and style shortcomings. Great pen for everyday use. #FountainPen #PenPals

Probably an unpopular opinion, but scientists should get trained and be interested in making their work accessible. We don’t exist in the bubble of academia only. What good is science if it doesn’t touch people’s lives? This is why when we lose funding the average person couldn’t be less bothered.
