Just wrapped up a productive workshop at the @WHO Berlin Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence on "Evaluation of Publication Health Analytics"! Joined an amazing group of colleagues from around the world to layout a framework to support data to decision making! Stay tuned...
The growing (known) virosphere!
Incredible - using AI, 161,979 putative RNA virus species and 180 RNA virus supergroups identified (mostly) in SRA. A massive increase in the number of described viruses: in 2022, ICTV has classified 11,273 named virus species.

When it rains it pours: Rwanda reports finding an unspecified number of #Marburg cases in "health facilities" — note that's plural — in the country.
Do not like the look of this.
Unfortunately, couldn't make it to the World One Health Congress #WOHC2024 this time around. Bummed to miss the chance to reconnect with close #OneHealth colleagues from around the world and to make new linkages, but wishing everyone a fruitful meeting in Cape Town!
Thanks for highlighting our data paper and Western Asia 🦇 research! #WABNet!
Over a four-year period, 4,278 individual records of 41 bat species were documented at 50 sites in seven Western Asian countries. See the dataset here: doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12.e1321…

NEW 🌡️🏥 We built a platform to track attribution science on the health impacts of climate change, building on our work last year with @WellcomeTrust. Hopefully useful for journalists, climate litigation, & other scientists. Check it out: healthattribution.org. Please RT!
Thank you @peterstaley for this supportive opinion piece and for advocating for the decades of pandemic prevention work we have led at @EcoHealthNYC. statnews.com/2024/07/08/ecoh… via @statnews

Great to see these @IUCNssc guidelines on fundamental biosafety considerations for 🦇 field work released! Congrats to the team of authors.
Let's keep people and bats safe! New Field Hygiene Guidelines for anyone working with bats in the field from the IUCN SSC Bat Specialist Group. PASS IT ON!

From 2 months ago, but still very relevant. Nice article by @HelenBranswell summarizing the challenges of H5N1 vaccination and countermeasure preparedness. statnews.com/2024/04/24/h5n1… via @statnews
Cool! Nice study showing the cascading ecological impacts of an emerging bat disease -- #WNS

Debarment of the EcoHealth Alliance is both unjust + jeopardizes our nation’s biosecurity. It’s among the few orgs we have to monitor emerging zoonotic influenzas, CoVs across Asia, the Middle East. Shutting this down for Qanon conspiracies puts the American 🇺🇸 people at risk

Was great to host you! You're doing some excellent work on LLOV and across the EU.
Pics from the visit at @EcoHealthNYC HQ in New York. It was a great afternoon presenting our #lloviu research and discussing multiple 🦇 project results
