The fourth comic in the ‘Uncertain Worlds’ series from the IDS @PASTRES_erc programme looks at the lessons from recent disease outbreaks & how thinking differently about uncertainties could point to alternative ways to respond to #pandemics. @IanScoones pastres.org/2023/09/29/unc…

On the occasion of #WorldZoonosesDay, help the world and yourself by taking 2 mins off and reflecting on how to build a healthier planet. You can find some food for thought on @PoultryHub chicken nuggets blog! onehealthpoultry.org/news-blog/blog/

🚨Calling #OneHealth contacts working or interested in complex settings - specifically #conflict, #criminality, or #displacement - we want to hear from you as part of @OHICSnetwork @CAPE_acuk project bringing together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. Please share!

Have a look at our blog, based on recent research & fieldwork in Nigeria with the University of Ibadan. Nigeria has the highest number of #mpox cases on the continent. Considered endemic. The situation is not the same as the multi-country outbreak. @NCDCgov @SSHAP_action @abs014

Please join us for a webinar on #mpox on 27th April! Together w/ colleagues from the Univ of Ibadan and @IDS_UK, we researched mpox in Nigeria, focusing on human-human spread. Lots of lessons for public health emergency response. @SSHAP_action @abs014 bit.ly/3JOw3yR

What are the key contextual factors and social impacts of the crisis in Northern #Ethiopia? And what are the implications for the #humanitarian response? SSHAP fellows Heran Abebe and Getachew Belaineh draw on #evidence and insights:⬇️ socialscienceinaction.org/resources/key-…

A One Health situation in all it's complexity and interconnectedness, and a ripe setting for a zoonotic/pandemic breakout. How can trade expansion be more mindful of health consequences? What other governance mechanisms are needed where regulations can't be enforced?

Spotted the sign while waiting at a bus stop. This cheered me right up! #Disobey #Disney #Brighton
