“Writing prompts isn’t a skill, it’s something you can learn quickly on the job if necessary. I don’t believe translators in training should learn how to prompt. To the contrary: they will be the ones that have to clean up the badly translated texts AI produces.”

As humans face record-breaking heatwaves, our new research led by Max Kotz shows intensified heat extremes caused a 25–38% decline in the level of abundance of
tropical birds since 1950. These impacts often exceed those of average temperature rise and direct human pressures.

We found that for some #bacteria 🧫 , connectivity between hospital wards is as / more important for explaining #AMR as antibiotic consumption, especially for highly resistant 🏥 endemics
We found that for some #bacteria 🧫 , connectivity between hospital wards is as / more important for explaining #AMR as antibiotic consumption, especially for highly resistant 🏥 endemics
The complexity of #AMR is rarely understated but few studies tackle the selection vs. transmission challenge.
That's what makes this this analysis from 2020 led by @juliethebatgirl.bsky.social so great - look how much could be done with well linked hospital data ... doi.org/10.7554/eLif....

Metapopulation ecology links antibiotic resistance, consumption, and patient transfers in a network of hospital wards
Patterns of antibiotic use and the connectivity between wards are independently associated with the incidence of antimicrobial-resistant infections in hospital networks.
