/s = sarcasm. Of course it's not lockdowns. How much have temperatures warmed since 2020? How did you control for repeated infections with a virus known to impact the brain?

At a time when anxiety is high and the state of global politics seems dire it can be hard to keep hope alive. But we must especially in the younger generation. Brilliant essay by @madhupai.bsky.social . Worth a read.

What Will Bring the Next Generation of Global Health Students Hope? First essay @sciencepolitics.bsky.social is about how concerned students are about the state of the world, and what we can do, to keep their (& our) hopes alive 🙏 @emendenhall.bsky.social sciencepolitics.org/2026/04/17/w...

I really love how you can tell which portions of religious school clicked for people. Jewish Sunday school, for me at least, was all about the hopes of tikkun olam. Israel was just some place.
Scalia was clearly not moved by the whole Preferential Option for the Poor and Vulnerable thing.

After two nurses in Samoa negligently mixed MMR vaccine with anesthetic, killing two kids, RFK seized on the opportunity, went to Samoa to talk about how dangerous vaccines were.
In the resulting outbreak, 83 died (population 200k). That’s the equivalent of 145k Americans.
He’s everyone’s enemy.

“The day I decided to enter this race was the day that RFK Jr. was nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services,” Dr. Andrews said. “He’s been my professional archnemesis for decades, and any other pediatrician in this country would say the same thing.”

“But they said that the absurdity masks real concerns... “Part of me is glad he’s wasting his time on bullshit, because it’s less dangerous for rule of law, for the American public,” one official told me, “but it also means we don’t have a real functioning FBI director.”

“We’re all just waiting for the word” that Patel is officially out of the top job, an FBI official told me this week, and a former official told my colleague Jonathan Lemire that Patel was “rightly paranoid.” Senior members of the Trump administration are already discussing who might replace him”

Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

Some thought-provoking papers from Nico Tom Mutters and Maaike van Mourik in Year in Infection Control. Which stood out for you? Where are you heading next on Day 2 at #ESCMIDGlobal2026? #InfectionControl #AMR

LLMs in infection surveillance show promise but limitations. They tend to overcall HAI (false positives), with variability in applying timing rules and surveillance criteria. Human confirmation remains essential. #InfectionControl #AMR #AI #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) identifies potentially preventable transmission events. In a large study, ~1200 transmissions were considered preventable assuming successful intervention after the second case. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Now on stage in Hall ICM 14, Maaike van Mourik will cover six key topics in Year in Infection Control, from genome surveillance and Candida auris to decolonisation, neonates, innovations and tuberculosis. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Environmental transmission matters. Microplastics may promote stronger biofilm formation in E. coli, with higher AMR rates even after removal, suggesting a potential catalytic role in infection risk. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

P. aeruginosa carriage matters. ICU pneumonia risk is ~6x higher with respiratory carriage and ~2x with perianal carriage, highlighting the importance of early detection and prevention strategies. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Same intervention, different conclusions. Earlier RCT showed no mortality benefit, while new meta-analysis suggests a reduction. A reminder to revisit practice as evidence evolves. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Selective decontamination (SDD) in ICU patients (~9,300, 26 ICUs) reduced new antibiotic-resistant organisms but did not lower in-hospital mortality vs standard care. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

PPE de-escalation can reduce waste without increasing risk. In a Singapore study, switching to N95s alone cut ~440,000 gowns, ~400,000 kg CO₂e and ~$334,000 in costs, with no change in COVID-19 incidence among staff. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Less PPE, same outcomes? De-escalating to N95s alone showed no change in COVID-19 incidence among healthcare workers in a Singapore study. #InfectionControl #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Gowns in #InfectionControl—where is contamination? Most on torso (19%) and sleeves (12%), but overall rates vary widely (0–77.5%). Evidence remains mixed. #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal2026
