Tomorrow (29th May) I will be giving my inaugural lecture @lshtm.bsky.social Open to people who are in London & online for those who are not. Hugely grateful to a wonderful array of collaborators & colleagues around the world whose work really underpins the research I will be talking about.

The amount of money that @who.int is asking for an entire year in its already reduced budget, $2.1 billion, is what the world spends on its military every 8 hours, @drtedros.who.int says in his opening remarks at the World Health Assembly in Geneva. #globalhealth #IDsky

WHO@who.int · last yr.

WHO faces a 21% reduction from the original proposed budget for the 2026-27 biennium. “If we think US$ 2.1 billion a year is ambitious—or $ 4.2 billion for the biennium—then either we must lower our ambitions for what WHO is and does, or we must raise the money.” - @drtedros.who.int bit.ly/3ZrwCXZ

I know that the US has seen worse life expectancy trends than other high income countries in recent years, but I hadn't realised things were so bad across all ages - particularly people of working age. US 20-59 year olds are dying at several times the rate of their peers, and it's getting worse.

This is neat! And the music in the linked youtube video is by my cousin. 😀 (which I did not know when I clicked it!)

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Given discussions at I had at #ESCMIDGlobal, it might be useful for new researchers to know how a journal editor screens submissions (obviously this is my approach and so it might differ for others).

So, to the infectious disease modellers: how are we feeling about Epidemics conference this year? (So sorry to US colleagues for what is happening. A true nightmare. )
