🧪 This study highlights why we should not focus so much on genetic factors or drug targets. The #exposome (environmental exposures) has greater impact on disease patterns and premature mortality than genetic factors. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #planetaryhealth #academicsky #medsky #idsky

🧪 Research by Prof. Matt Campen's group finds large numbers of #microplastic particles in the brain, with even greater numbers in the brains of those diagnosed with #dementia, closely associated to regions with high immune cell infiltration. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #immunosky

If an #H5N1 pandemic starts tomorrow or in three months, there will be little mystery as to how it happened. The conditions are all there. They have been for a while. So in some ways the more interesting question to me at the moment is: Why aren’t we in a pandemic yet? Story here, 🧵 to come: 🧪#IDSky
