#CDC @altcdc.altgov.info finds alarming increase of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (not a fan of the NDM name!) producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE) in lab testing & surveillance. This reverses previous declines in CRE. Read research: bit.ly/4nKi2Vo. #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance

Sitting in a flight from LHR London for the past hour or so. We are almost 2 hours late and have no estimate of when we can fly. I just hope it’s safe to fly. At this point I’m less worried about being delayed and more concerned with getting to Delhi safely.
A cyberattack disrupted operations at several major European airports today, including Brussels Airport and London’s Heathrow, causing flight delays and cancellations.
Cyberattack causes delays, disruptions at European airports
Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for airlines at multiple airports, said a “cyber-related disruption” affected its systems.

I’m re-reading Mark Pendergrast’s master piece: “Inside the Outbreaks: The Elite Medical Detectives of the Epidemic Intelligence Service”, and I’ve just reached the end of chapter 2, where the author talks about Diphtheria and zoonoses.

Re-reading this classic book at a time when it’s important to re-reimagine global health. The dismantling of the US supported apparatus will be a shock, but it’s my hope that it’ll also push us to reach a more sustainable, locally-led future.

Hanging out in style! These majestic fruit bats (also known as flying foxes) are enjoying a leafy snack while chilling upside down, because why not? Native to tropical regions, these gentle pollinators play a vital role in maintaining forest ecosystems by dispersing seeds and pollinating plants.

Meet the Northern Bald Ibis. Punk-rock plumage and a scimitar bill to match! Once widespread across Europe, North Africa & the Middle East, it’s now listed as endangered; breeding programs in Morocco, Turkey & Europe are driving a fragile comeback. Share, donate, advocate. Extinction isn’t an option

Hear the soundtrack? Ripples tapping pads, cicadas buzzing, and a Red-eyed Vireo swapping its cheery “question-and-answer” phrases from the canopy! Wetland meditation in full surround-sound.

So @bhavnaseth.bsky.social and I thought it was a hummingbird fluttering over the milkweed, until we looked closer. Meet the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth (Hemaris thysbe), a master mimic that hovers and feeds just like its avian namesake. It is a vital native pollinator, drawn to nectar-rich plants.
