Ciara (and colleagues) analyzed how the WHO disseminated information about infectious disease outbreaks during the pandemic (and the surprising twist on what was under-emphasized). Also, great graphs! @ciaramweets.bsky.social

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

Look at this brilliant kid (and her team) publishing on biodiversity and disease! Love the message that protecting the environment directly impacts public health.
🧪😷 Biodiversity loss and disease emergence share common drivers - meaning that there are opportunities to create shared solutions for biodiversity and health. Global and national governance efforts to combat disease events must be integrated with environmental protection and sustainable development
If you take one thing away from our paper, I hope it's this: there's no safe path through the Pandemicene without action on environmental protection, sustainable development, and health system strengthening. Single-issue advocacy and siloed solutions put the world at greater risk from pandemics.

Navigating the proliferation of GAI and determining how/if to use it in research is difficult. Published in PLOS One today, we evaluated the performance of GAI against a team of SMEs to highlight limitations and regional biases in a GAI tool. Read our study here: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
