It's UK Fungus Day this Saturday, organised by @BritMycolSoc.
Get your fungi fix with @JHUPress' WHAT IF FUNGI WIN? by @ACasadevall1, a completely fascinating look inside the astonishing—and slightly scary—world of #fungi.
Available to buy in Europe @WileyGlobal!
Today's episode of @NPRShortWave podcast gives a great overview of What if Fungi Win?, the book I wrote with @ACasadevall1 for @JHUPress. It's short and worth your time.

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.
Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.
This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.
A really eye-opening conversation with Dr. Goodman. Definitely worth your time.
Is it forgetfulness, aging, or undiagnosed ADHD? @HopkinsMedicine’s David Goodman talks with @SDesmon about the importance of recognizing ADHD in adults and how diagnosis can change lives.

Another terrific chat with @ACasadevall1. Worth a listen!
A fungus declared a "critical pathogen" by @WHO has been raising concerns about its ability to evolve beyond infection control measures. As climate change accelerates its spread, @ACasadevall1 talks about preventing infections before treatments fail.

ALT Monday Episode 795 of the Public Health On Call podcast is titled The Discovery of a New Clade of Candida Auris—A “Critical Pathogen”.
Really interesting piece by @KennethBaer and friends. They even name names!
#DNC2024 starts today, but the planning went on for weeks. @JeffreyNussbaum, @ErikSmithDC, and I draw on 6 conventions-worth of work to dish on what goes on behind the scenes. If you have a fave Dem pol from 20 yrs ago, they're probably namechecked! politico.com/news/magazine/2…
