Happening Now!!! The "One Health” approach recognizes that human health is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment. Join @NASEM_Health on 6/30 for a webinar co-hosted by @OneHealthCom, @StipWilson & @NMNH to learn more: bit.ly/3q0lWg1
Hear about how bat conservationists, policy makers and disease ecologists helped reduce risk of bat-human conflicts in Antonio, TX. Fascinating! @EpsteinJon@JamesCTobias
"A city government that looked before it leapt, and invited scientists to help inform policy" Great reporting as always from @JamesCTobias
*San Antonio*
Here's Greg Gray of @DukeGHI with examples of how they've used One Health approaches to more strategically target surveillance for novel pathogens. One Health proof-of-concept!
Here's the full line-up. Former FDA CVM director Bernadette Dunham of GWU @GWtweets laid out the global importance of One Health for us all. Fantastic session!

Reminding lab leakers that there's a wealth of information for you to generate new conspiratorial garbage from in our journal's Cover Art and Essays - at least 20 years of hard work connecting art & science for youse guys to tinker nefariously with...
Here's one that talks about China so that should put the cat amongst the pigeons...
I think I've cracked the "293 code" that Drosstic can't break:
293 minus the 12 common CoVs = 281.
281 minus the 41 Laos sequences from WIV = 240.
240, re-shuffled = 420.
420 is the secret code for cannabis, which is definitely what these folks are smokin!
The same folks delving deep into the "293 Code" conspiracy, are busy right now on an anti-vaxx crusade w/ none other than that Shaman bloke who dresses up with cow horns & invaded the Capitol!
Ironic that these Drosstic folks are cited by Congress & the Senate in their reports!
As Treebeard said "Don't be hasty".... check and double-check before you dismiss as a typo or a joke.
Exciting news from @EcoHealthNYC: @NIH has reissued our @NIAIDNews grant R01AI110964 “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence” 3 yrs & 2 days after it was terminated! The statement below links to the full project details: ecohealthalliance.org/2023/05/collab…
This effectively lifts the suspension on our grant that involved collaboration in China w/ Wuhan Institute of Virology, & was terminated on April 2020 ‘for convenience’. 2/ politico.com/news/2020/04/2…
In August 2022 @NIH revised their decision, terminating only the WIV subcontract. They offered to renegotiate the specific aims & we have now come to agreement w/ NIH on modified goals – details follow. 3/ ecohealthalliance.org/wp-content/upl…
This grant will support a critical step towards preventing future CoV pandemics by working with communities on the frontline, in SARSr-CoV hotspots of Southeast Asia, who have high contact with wildlife. 2/
The title of this piece belies the fact that new rules on wildlife trade in China will allow breeding of animals for fur & lucrative global fashion industry...animals including...er.. mink...& ..er.. raccoon dogs! science.org/content/articl…
Don't forget also that the wildlife trade in mammals for food is alive & well across rest of the SE Asian emerging disease hotspot region..& we're not off-the-hook either - the USA is the biggest importer of wildlife - for the pet trade. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
That was a Policy Forum in @Science 2009, raising awareness that the wildlife trade represents a threat to global health, pandemic emergence. Was anything substantial done to reduce that risk? No. Wildlife trade was expanded to industrial scale, & remains a key pandemic driver.
