Recognise any of these half-masked attempts? We've all spotted them, make sure you're not one of them. Where you are required to wear a face mask, make sure it is fitted and covers your nose and mouth. Don't be half-masked. More on the importance of masks: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/face-masks-imp…

Great to see the role that veterinary epidemiologists can play in public health management. Proud of the contribution @jtcanevari and our epi team as a whole has made to Victoria's COVID19 response

So excited for this project to start later this year!!

AMR is clearly a 'pay now, or pay more later'. And 'pay more later' means money AND lives. International, national, regional and sector supports are all needed. Everyone is impacted so everyone has to play a role.

Congratulations Kshitiz Shrestha on the publication of your paper. Really proud of the project team @mstevenson888 James Gilkerson and the support of our colleagues Asia Pacific Centre for Animal Health @FVASunimelb AgriFutures Australia
