Just back from Winter Wonderland on campus! Yes, it's aimed at students, but I brought my little son along. Highlight? The inflatable snowglobe. Lowlight? He was terrified of the fake snow inside it. Parenting win? Maybe not.😂❄️ #WinterAdventures #ParentingLife

Antibiotic resistance and #climatechange pose existential threats of similar magnitude. Why are global attention and political commitment so different? What policies are needed to curb antibiotic resistance? In our 2021 paper, Niklas Harring and I offer a discussion:
