I am thrilled and beyond grateful to receive a CNRS bronze medal this year - this is an incredible honour especially for an INRAE researcher like myself! A big thanks to my amazing team and the research community @RDP for all the great science we have done together!

JOB ALERT: Two 4.5 year postdoctoral positions to work on my Wellcome-funded project 'Conserving Global Health: Biodiversity Protection and the Prehistory of Planetary Health'. Please share widely!

CLOSING DATE: 23 April (the date on Jobs.ac.uk is apparently incorrect)

The richness of urban health realities lost in measurement monocultures The question seems simple enough: how can a rapidly growing African city improve the health and care of its pregnant women and their babies? But ask this question while navigating the humid, traffic-c...

Just as agricultural monocultures replace diverse ecosystems with a single crop variety, measurement monocultures replace diverse knowledge systems with standardised analyses and narrow citation networks gh.bmj.com/content/11/3...

Happening next week!

This looks great - of #histSTM and GLAMS 📜 interest as well as #envhist

Unlike #climatechange debates on transitions towards sustainable & equitable futures, similar debates are often absent from #antimicrobial governance.

What a resource!

Our stocktake instead tries to capture the broad thematic lines of scholarship & critique.

Hi Jon-Pierre, thanks for your interest. We tried to be representative: our authors are anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, microbiologists, epidemiologists, STS, Comms, and public health scholars, and historians. But you are of course correct that no review will ever be complete.

(Un)intended consequences: a social sciences stocktake of a decade of Global Action Plan-inspired antimicrobial governance Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a major global health threat. Despite increasing international attention, AMR governance has often neglected social and equity dimensions, and there is a crucial...

Claas Kirchhelle and Lloyd Czaplewski on AMR governance and financing - The Lancet Microbe in conversation with Elena Dalla Vecchia talks with Claas Kirchhelle and Lloyd Czaplewski about the current antimicrobial resistance (AMR) governance (with a historical perspective on how it came to be), the 2015 WHO Glob...

Great fun to chat about #antimicrobials, #innovation & #AMR - including our recent stocktake of the (un)intended consequences of the WHO's 2015 Global Action Plan with Lloyd Czaplewski & Elena Dalla Vecchia on @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social "In Conversation"!

The human right to a healthy, clean & sustainable environment could be a game changer for tackling #AMR's environmental drivers. But how could this work? Wendy Boucrot, Sheila Varadan & I review how the new right could be applied to #antimicrobial pollution.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Can you trust the results from gut microbiome tests? Maybe not Seven firms reported inconsistent results on the same sample, some over multiple tests. These gut microbe discrepancies could have health consequences.

I understand why the authors didn't disclose the different company IDs...but I'm very curious to know which is which

Publication 🚨! In "This little microbe went to market: The political economy of sentinel surveillance", I review F. Keck's Politique de Zoonoses (2024) & highlight the need for more attention to how microbial enclosure & assetisation impact global health.

Hard to believe that the gold standard underlying the remodelling of most post-1980s surveillance systems can simply be switched off. Also highlights the importance of decentralised capacity building for long-term resilience.

Wonderful job opportunities coming up in Berlin!

Definitely, the most scenic #AMR meeting I have been to! Thanks to CATIE & the British Academy for organising a week of thought-provoking discussions in Costa Rica on Just Transitions for AMR and the many interconnections between antimicrobial pollution and climate change!

🎉 👏 Charlotte, huge achievement. Wonderful book!

#MondayNetwork - a regular appeal to any #skystorians with intersecting interests: food /nutrition, surviving climate change, environmental determinism, race science, exploration, acclimatisation & physiology, cit sci, Indigenous knowledge, & related topics to say hi or share link to your work! 🗃️

Ooh fascinating project

These are incredible! Like the 'stained glass' pictures I made as a kid out of tissue paper and card, but intricately detailed and*huge* #envhums

Five big global health wins in 2025 that will save millions of lives From HIV to TB, scientists and doctors made breakthroughs in treatment and prevention of some of the world’s deadliest diseases

2025 was a miserable year for global health

It’s nice see some hopeful things we can look forward to 👇🏾
