In this post I explain why and how scientists are discovering the viral dark matter
🦠Viruses are everywhere, yet we know only a tiny fraction of their inmense diversity.
A new study involving #ISGlobal mapped RNA viruses across 102 cities worldwide, revealing thousands of previously unknown viruses and unexpected patterns of viral diversity.
Understanding this "viral dark matter" could help us better anticipate and respond to future disease outbreaks.

Comparto nuestra reflexión sobre el potencial de las #vacunas ARNm para transformar la salud global
💉¿Representan las vacunas de ARNm un punto de inflexión en la vacunación?
✅Sí, pero su impacto real dependerá de superar desafíos científicos, industriales, económicos y políticos.

🌍La salud global ha permitido hitos como erradicar la viruela o reducir la poliomielitis en más de 120 países. Hoy, este sistema está en peligro.
🔍Un nuevo análisis de #ISGlobal examina cómo el segundo mandato de Trump y la retirada de EE. UU. del multilateralismo pueden revertir décadas de progreso en equidad, investigación y cooperación internacional.

Un plaer poder parlar de l’impacte en ciència. Gracies!
@sarukhan és biòloga i sempre li havia agradat escriure i explicar la ciència. Ara coordina la unitat d'impacte de @ISGLOBALorg.

Cuando surgen nuevas amenazas sanitarias, la #inmunología ofrece respuestas que salvan vidas. Pero ¿estamos escuchando lo suficiente a la ciencia?
En el #DíaMundialDeLaInmunización, Carlota Dobaño, @gmoncu y Adelaida @sarukhan reflexionan sobre ello en @LaVanguardia:

risks and benefits of vaccination are poorly understood by people that are in doubt about vaccines. Great visual in article by @PeterHotez that in essence is a cri de coeur for a more pro-active stance on combatting disinformation related to vaccines. 1/

As the COP29 climate meeting is reaching its end, it should not come as a surprise that yet another COP is failing. The current draft is a complete disaster. But even if our expectations are close to non-existent, we must never ever find ourselves reacting to these continuous betrayals with anything but rage.
The people in power are yet again about to agree to a death sentence to the countless people whose lives have been or will be ruined by the climate crisis. The current text is full of false solutions and empty promises. The money from the Global North countries needed to pay back their climate debt is still nowhere to be seen. The host country - Azerbaijan - is a repressive and authoritarian petro-state that has committed ethnic cleansing and genocidal acts towards Armenians. Civil society present at COP29 are being silenced, yet continue fighting and pushing negotiators towards the bare minimum.
All this while oppression, inequalities, wars and genocides all over the world continue to intensify. Those in power are worsening the destabilisation and destruction of our life supporting ecosystems. We are on track to experience the hottest year ever recorded, with the global greenhouse gases reaching an all time high just last year.
It is clear that our current systems are not working in our favour. The COP processes aren’t just failing us, they are part of a larger system built on injustice and designed to sacrifice current and future generations for the opportunity of a few to keep making unimaginable profits and continue to exploit planet and people.
With every negotiation, with every speech made by a world leader and with every agreement they sign, it becomes clear that it is up to us as a global collective to take the action we so desperately need and show where the leadership truly lies. They are not going to do it for us, as this COP29 yet again proves.
