ISO/BSI standards are key industrial governance tools. Proposed new BSI pharma #sustainability standards only focus on carbon & not wider #EcoTox criteria like pollution or #AMR. In ESTL, we call for an integration of EcoTox criteria into PAS2090 & independent oversight: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Absolutely tragic repeat. At first, I thought this was a history article.

Comment le couple sondages et médias enfante le pire

Par @mathieu2jean.bsky.social‬

Comment le couple sondages et médias enfante le pire

Dans un livre édifiant, le sociologue Hugo Touzet pointe l’imbrication des instituts de sondage avec des médias dont les propriétaires revendiquent l’idéologie de l’extrême droite, et la part que prennent les « politologues » au cadrage droitier du débat public. Une résistible dérive, à condition d’enrayer cette mécanique.

Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

Amazingly, there's a permanent university job available in History! It's 'only' part-time, and as the only non-fixed term contract in the entire UK available right now will probably see a queue form many hundreds long, but it'll be great for someone: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOO275/l...

"In recent years, China and India – the world’s biggest antibiotic producers – have published far more AMR-related research than their research and development spending alone would predict."

Environmental antibiotic resistance unevenly addressed despite growing global risk, study finds

Most antibiotic resistance research comes from high-income countries but the greatest threats are elsewhere. This inequality is shaping the future of global health.
