Hi Jon-Pierre, thanks for your interest. We tried to be representative: our authors are anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, microbiologists, epidemiologists, STS, Comms, and public health scholars, and historians. But you are of course correct that no review will ever be complete.
Great fun to chat about #antimicrobials, #innovation & #AMR - including our recent stocktake of the (un)intended consequences of the WHO's 2015 Global Action Plan with Lloyd Czaplewski & Elena Dalla Vecchia on @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social "In Conversation"!

The human right to a healthy, clean & sustainable environment could be a game changer for tackling #AMR's environmental drivers. But how could this work? Wendy Boucrot, Sheila Varadan & I review how the new right could be applied to #antimicrobial pollution.

Hard to believe that the gold standard underlying the remodelling of most post-1980s surveillance systems can simply be switched off. Also highlights the importance of decentralised capacity building for long-term resilience.
Wonderful job opportunities coming up in Berlin!
Definitely, the most scenic #AMR meeting I have been to! Thanks to CATIE & the British Academy for organising a week of thought-provoking discussions in Costa Rica on Just Transitions for AMR and the many interconnections between antimicrobial pollution and climate change!
π π Charlotte, huge achievement. Wonderful book!

Excited to share a new paper in Lancet Planetary Health!

Hot off the press in @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social!
In (Un)intended Consequences, we conduct a #socsci stocktake of 10 years of research on #AMR interventions, highlight the need for more contextual #antimicrobial governance & make recommendations #GAP'26! #IDSky

Ooh fascinating project
These are incredible! Like the 'stained glass' pictures I made as a kid out of tissue paper and card, but intricately detailed and*huge* #envhums

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Music, materials, weather and climate - a great story about a set of organ record books from the 1960s to now. Are there older ones? When did recording temperature and humidity become a common part of the tuner's practice? www.theguardian.com/environment/... #histSTM #envhist
We'll, this explains a lot. A truly sobering read on the grant mill & the lose-lose resulting from decades of over promising win-wins.
Recently had the chance to hear @carlbergstrom.com on information foraging in the current space of LLMs.
He and @jevinwest.bsky.social have crafted a course that touches various facets of LLMs. Just finished reading through its 18 modules. Absolutely loved it!

The π is facing real environmental pressures, but we already know what works: restoring ecosystems, cutting pollution, & investing in clean energy all strengthen resilience.
#UNEA7 is a key moment for countries to build on this progress & step up action for a more resilient planet: bit.ly/3WtFOt3
