La Conexión Resistencia a Antimicrobianos (AMR) busca dar respuesta a este reto 👇 (1/2)

It sounds like a really interesting conference! I think the link might be broken (or at least it’s not working on my end). Could you please share the correct address?

Reread Volterra's 1926 paper while prepping for #MathematicalMethodsInPopulationBiology. Reminded me of some of his key discoveries: constants of motion for even-dimensional LV systems, time averaging principle, using Lyapunov functions to uncover the R* rule. Highly recommend reading his papers!

Congratulations on reaching this significant milestone after three years of intensive work! EFSA has produced five scientific opinions and developed an online tool to elucidate the risks associated with water use in the agrifood sector and interventions, I hope it will be beneficial to the industry!
