I’ve crossed the Ross River, stood at the 4 Corners, seen horse stables at Hendra, touched the replica broad street pump in London, been to Oropouche in Trinidad and driven through Tulare County. #Emerging #Zoonoses #HumanAnimal #OneHealth

Space for some optimism with regards #OneHealth Let’s hope that there is true co-equal sharing of power between all of these US agencies in a manner reflective of true OneHealth. #Epivet #EmergingDiseases #Zoonosis #HumanAnimalEnvironmentInterface www.cdc.gov/one-health/p...

This is surprising and concerning: www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Alas! If I ever come across a coral snake, my final thoughts will be pedantically preoccupied with the poem about Red/Yellow…some fellow-red/black…Jack? Stand back? Don’t take flack? …coral snake wins! And who starts a modern sentence with “alas”? #SnakeEtiquete #CoralConundrum

Finally watching “Slow Horses” probably bcz I’m a slow horse.

Ok so maybe: One phalanx, two phalanges is more challenging.

One vertebra, two vertebrae. Is that so hard?

We did this for our Christmas Eve this year! Happy Jolabokaflod!

Today I’m thinking about my Australian friends on the Christmas Day anniversary of Cyclone Tracy. 50 years ago in 1974, Tracy laid waste to Darwin and NT in general, in ways that changed a generation. #Cyclone #Disaster #Darwin #AussieResilience

PhD opportunities at my alma mater -Liverpool

Just like in response to 9/11 when we created the DHS, we need a new Federal Department of #OneHealth. COVID could have taken us there, certainly H5N1 (et al H’s & Ns) should take us there, assuming the federal govt is serious about serving the public health needs of its constituents.

Dr Maxmen’s excellent article reminds us why the #4thEstate is so vital to a healthy democracy. Government is accountable to its people. Good journalism, not only documents events and shares them with the masses, it also challenges the status quo,demanding better. Nicely done @amymaxmen.bsky.social

If Isabella’s theory is correct, we are certainly entering a new medieval era of public health.

Thinking today about two islands in two different oceans dealing with natural disasters. Mayotte in the Indian Ocean and Vanuatu in the Pacific.

A reminder that the pandemic is not over. The only thing that ended back in May ‘23 was the legal emergency framework. The public communication around that fact was devastatingly poor and has allowed folks to think they can ignore COVID. And yet Excess deaths are happening and can’t be ignored.

This, exactly this!👇

Hello bsky. Good to be here. I'm hiring! Can't think of a better inaugural post than to share details of new 2-year research fellow post we're advertising for an outstanding epidemiogist to join my team to work on improving population mental health. tinyurl.com/28mlykr9 #CausalSky #EpiSky

Very helpful tips for those of us still navigating the new blu-terrain!

Did I read that correctly?-Mildura expected to be 46C!!!!

Great article, which also actually partly explains why I’m still masking.

Cancer is a common cause of line-of-duty death for firefighters. We worked across the aisle to reauthorize the Firefighter Cancer Registry so we can improve research into health and safety standards for these heroes who put their lives on the line for us every day.

I wonder if these antivaxer types also think they would be the best person to replace an incapacitated pilot on a flight. Or is it just virologists, immunologists, scientists, MDs DVMs, PhDs, etc, that they presume to not have expertise? #DunningKruger #Ignorance&Arrogance-ADeadlyCombination

A great opportunity:

Words can be difficult especially those with two diffferent meanings! Take for example the word “Outstanding” Her work was outstanding - really good. Her assignment is outstanding- not done.

The more species, the more concerning this continues to get.

I just finished watching #BuyNow! on Netflix. Wow, while I was aware of many of the negatives of consumerism, this documentary laid them all out very soberly and frankly. I think its title may limit viewership so it’s gonna need lots of word of mouth. #ThisIsNotaDrill #OneHealth #Environment

www.ava.com.au/news/step-fo... This is a step forward for those whose scope of practice covers every animal on the planet bar one! Well done Australia!
