Unfortunately so true.
Preventing bs may be more effective
Ik vind het zielig dat de wormen 🪱 de schuld krijgen van de #PFAS in eieren. Zij zijn het doorgeefluik, passieve PFAS opstapelaars en ophopers, maar de PFAS komt ergens vandaan (industrie!): titel aanpassen @jeugdjournaal.bsky.social?

👩🔬 The meaningful participation of women and girls in science is fundamental to building inclusive, resilient, and effective scientific and public health communities. #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience
We look forward to continuing this commitment at #ESCAIDE2026!
For much of the world, refrigeration is such a common technology that we rarely stop to wonder at the many ways it has transformed our lives. As Nicola Twilley describes in her book, Frostbite, progress often comes at a cost. Listen now - you’ll never look at your fridge the same way again.
Results from John B. Calhoun’s “rat utopia” experiments from the mid-20th century revealed a behavioral dark side as space grew limited, ultimately leading to complete population collapse. In this week’s book club episode, Jon Adams and Edmund Ramsden to discuss their book, Rat City. Don't miss it!
Hey Bluesky hivemind! What are the best data sources for the overall death tolls of wars?
So not just dead soldiers, but also civilians, and deaths from disease and starvation due to the fighting.
Are Necrometrics and Wikipedia as flawed as they seem — or do they actually hold up to some scrutiny?
On #EducationFriday (17 April, 08:30–10:30), I’ll be speaking in the session titled: “Outbreak investigation: through the eyes of a field epidemiologist and public health microbiologist”, organised by the EPIET Alumni Network ESGEM @escmid.bsky.social

💡 - 🔬 🧬 Patiënt met 🤧 symptomen / 'verdenking respiratoire infectie'? --> testen en in isolatie, om verdere verspreiding van #Influenza #coronavirus of andere virussen te voorkomen.
💡 draag bij griep- en verkoudheidsklachten een 😷 tijdens bezoek aan ziekenhuis, huisarts, of andere zorginstelling. Zowel patiënten, medewerkers én bezoek. Toch jammer als je ín het ziekenhuis griep oploopt, en daardoor langer opgenomen ligt, erg ziek wordt en/of lang(er) doet over herstel
De #griepgolf is in Engeland al begonnen; bij ons begint de jaarlijkse #influenza golf meestal in januari.
#Preparedness = oa goede basis #infectiepreventie in de zorg: ziekenhuizen, huisarts, maar ook langdurige zorg.

#ECDC Director - Dr Pamela Rendi-Wagner opening #ESCAIDE2025:

So the French and Italians with their “wear a speedo in a swimming pool- rule” were right after all. 🧼🏊♂️
Sorry to all our European friends who have to trade their swimming boxers 🩳 for tight swimwear 🩲 for their holiday swim

het is belangrijk om #Rijksvaccinatieprogramma continu bij te stellen a.h.v. nieuwe ontwikkelingen, zoals veranderende #epidemiologie en ziektelast van infectiezieken, nieuwe risicogroepen, of nieuwe inzichten in de impact van de #vaccinatie strategie.
Gevolgen ⬇️zullen komende jaren zichtbaar worden
If at #ESCAIDE2025, check our our poster on Regional #AMR surveillance in #Netherlands🦠
💡You can still register for (free!) online attendance: the program is fantastic as always and very relevant

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
