With #GHS2026 coming to a close, we're reflecting on a week of insightful discussions. Here are a few photos from our panel, "How to Counter Disinformation Related to CBRN Threats," where our experts explored practical approaches to strengthening resilience against CBRN disinfo.

Strengthening the Health Security Interface is a priority for ASEAN through the Mitigation of Biothreats Program, supported by #GPWMD members Canada, Korea, Japan, UK, and Australia #GHS2026

This week in Malaysia, global health security partners and #GPWMD members are at the #GHS2026 to strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration to combat biological threats.

Tomorrow at #GHS2026, we launch The Matryoshka War. The report maps how “biolab” narratives move across Africa, SE Asia & Latin America — turning #HealthSecurity infrastructure into geopolitical targets. Join us: 9:15am in 410.

#GHS2026 starts this week and the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter Disinfo Initiative will be on the ground in Kuala Lumpur. Be sure to say hello at both our poster presentation (Wednesday) and our panel on Thursday at 9:15am in Room 410. We look forward to seeing you there!

The GP community mourns the loss of Brian Finlay from @stimsoncenter.bsky.social. Brian was a longtime champion of #GPWMD and served as Friend of the Chair to last year’s Canadian GP Presidency. Thank you Brian, you will be greatly missed. www.stimson.org/2026/stimson...

As the devastating Ebola outbreak continues to grow in DRC and Uganda, we have begun to see #false #narratives in Russian news media suggesting that the outbreak could be a form of biological warfare waged by actors in the US, including pharmaceutical companies.

Today, #GPWMD member Canada announced support to #AfricaCDC to respond to the Ebola outbreak in DRC, Uganda & South Sudan. This builds on long-term #SIMBA_BIO efforts to strengthen surveillance, biosecurity & mitigation for deliberate disease threats in Africa. 🔗 bit.ly/3RNoW1d

All eyes are on the upcoming 2026 Review Conference (RevCon) for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Nuclear risks are rising, and the last NPT conferences could not agree on an outcome. So what is the RevCon and why does it matter? 🧵

Disinformation distorts risk perception and erodes trust, complicating negotiations. In the NPT context, this impacts nuclear risks. As the 2026 RevCon approaches, the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter Disinfo Initiative will support delegations with tools and insights to counter disinfo. Stay tuned!
