Figure 1. Bacteria Cultured from Injured Ukrainian Service Members. Shown are bacteria cultured from the wounds of 127 injured Ukrainian service members, with percentages assigned to each bacterial family and to each genus within the Enterobacteriaceae family. Percentages may not total 100 because of rounding.
Battlefield injuries are often contaminated with potentially infecting microbes. In this study, swabs obtained in the field after injury were profiled. Microbes and potential antimicrobial-resistance genes were characterized. Full study results: nej.md/4l1hpqk

Watch the daily dose to learn more.
Better late than never - thanks to @johnjflynn.bsky.social for the above photos!!
Grateful to have the opportunity to share this little piece of my heart. Love is always the answer.

In celebration of this day will leave you with the poem “Legacy” by Rupi Kaur (inspired by slides from our keynote speaker Dr. Valencia Walker):
i stand
on the sacrifices
of a million women before me
thinking
what can i do
to make this mountain taller
so the women after me
can see farther
