💊 A UPE lens on AMR shows how inequalities, regulation & service access shape risk—and why communities are key to better responses. bit.ly/44NNhrM

I picked Heater up and held her to my chest for like 2 minutes on a whim and she purred the entire time. I’m convinced it’s because she’s happy about Zohran.

Fantastic presentation from @msfsea.bsky.social partners describing AMR in vulnerable populations at #AARC25. They highlighted the need for governmental support to continue surveillance & adaption of treatment guidelines to local contexts and resistance trends.

Scary things that you may have recently read headlines about that it turned out you didn’t have to worry about include: microplastics in your brain, black plastic spatulas, intermittent fasting, and plant based meat alternatives.
Also, no, you do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a month.
