Second day of our ABR2AFR stakeholders meeting. How to adapt the proven determinants of successful bacterial antibiotic resistance (ABR) control to tackle antifungal resistance (AFR)? Looking forward to a day full of interesting presentations and discussions! #AMR #AFR

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

Starships driving HGT within and between genomes. Causing new pathogens to emerge

Visiting the NVMM autumn meeting of the section Mycology at the Westerdijk Institute in Utrecht. Looking forward to a day full of interesting mycology talks. Starting of with Aaron Vogan talking about HGT

The new outline of fungi and fungus-like taxa is out now. Why do we need to do this so often? Because there are so many fungal species and only about 5-10% have descriptions. New genera, families etc are frequently being added to the tree. 🧪 🌍 #fungi #mycosky www.mycosphere.org/pdf/MYCOSPHE...

Happy to discover bsky and getting to interact with al the #mycologists and other interesting sciences again. Its like finding your friends back at a festival :)

With more #MycoSky arriving here by the day, lets gather everyone and rebuild.

Please let me know if I’ve missed out on you or anyone relevant 🍄‍🟫😎
