Broad-spectrum antivirals (BSAs) target host or conserved viral parts, working across virus families. They deploy fast and aid pandemic prep without needing virus ID. Trade-offs: toxicity, resistance risk, less precision. Still, BSAs could be key for unpredictable outbreaks. #HealthTech #Science

The world isn’t short on brilliant science.
It’s short on collaboration, clarity, and courage.

In the face of the next crisis, how we organize knowledge may matter more than how we generate it.

We can’t afford siloed thinking anymore.
