Amid the heartbreak in so many directions, it was a wondrous balm to spend today on Capitol Hill with over 200 TB Fighters from every state in the U.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made it happen from @tbfighters.org to @partnersinhealth.bsky.social. Together, we are strong.

McMaster University study ants, bees, and beetles to discover new antibiotics that could combat AMR.
By examining bacteria the insects use to protect themselves from diseases, promising compounds are identified, e.g. for treating multidrug-resistant Candida auris.
