How powerful the pandemic treaty will turn out to be depends on how seriously countries take it, says @nschwalbe.bsky.social.“This agreement definitely provides a recipe and all the ingredients for a world safer from pandemics,” she says. “Countries now need to make it happen.”

Global pandemic treaty finalized, without U.S., in ‘a victory for multilateralism’
Three years in the making, the accord aims to increase equity and avoid errors of the COVID-19 pandemic

My mum works in a hospital and always impressed upon us that “you only get one chance at a good death”. The work in this article is so important for understanding how our demographics affect whether we get to die at home or in hospital.

Interesting that although we now have a close relative for mpox, the ancestry of smallpox (variola virus) is still unknown. The closest viruses are found in camels and gerbils (taterapox), but they ain't that close.
Researchers have been trying for a long time to nail down where in nature mpox lurks.
Now they appear to have caught the virus that causes mpox in the act of spilling over from squirrels to monkeys.
“It is the best clue so far for what the reservoir might be”, says @kgandersen.bsky.social

Enjoy #microbio25? Read about how the Members Panel made @microbiologysociety.org events more accessible and inclusive. Proud of our achievements and honoured I get to work with inspirational #microbiologists as Co-Chair of the Panel, representing historically marginalised members. shorturl.at/Pch7c
Building an inclusive culture at scientific meetings: foundations for future progress
Scientific meetings and conferences are crucial in knowledge dissemination, fostering collaborations, professional development and inspiring innovative research. However, their traditional structure and organization have remained largely unchanged, perpetuating barriers that continue to exclude scientists from historically marginalized backgrounds. In response, the Microbiology Society has begun its journey to address these longstanding challenges, redesigning its meetings to create a more inclusive culture and a welcoming environment for all participants.
