Parasite-Host relations are asymmetrical. But what forms of parasitism has global health inherited? Melissa Salm for the #AnthropologyNews and SocietyMedAnthro. ow.ly/RTy150FOd6J

My friend and colleague, Marco Dell'Oca, published a provocative and incisive essay (10 min read) on how the SPEED of vax research during the pandemic exacerbated vax hesitancy and safety concerns: anthropology-news.org/articles/opera…

NTI | bio partnered with experts at Stanford University University’s Bio Policy & Leadership in Society on the Visibility Initiative for Responsible Science (VIRS). bit.ly/3JXwIy3

Stanford University The project’s new “Biorisk Management Casebook: Insights into Contemporary Practices” highlights the importance of sharing biosecurity and biosafety best practices for life science research. bit.ly/3M448O4

Stanford University We are thankful to those who made this report a reality - including the VIRS researchers and project leaders from Stanford University and CISAC & on Bluesky @stanfordcisac.bsky.social - @meganjpalmer, Sam Weiss Evans, MelSalm, Daniel Greene, Kathryn Brink and Connor Hoffmann + all of the orgs and experts who were consulted.

Big news today as a project I have been working on for years with @meganjpalmer MelSalm Daniel Greene Kathryn Brink Connor Hoffmann finally comes out! Have you ever wondered what biosecurity governance of research looks like in practice? Documenting it turns out to be v hard x.com/meganjpalmer/s…

Happy to share the release of this research that my team at Stanford and I have been working on for years

Register for Day 2 at cugh2023.org/satellite-sess… We will be talking about COVID-19 misinformation and conspiracy & controversy

Amazingly, I’m going to this… #anthro #biosecurity #futures

“Decision making in global health should not be divorced from the real lived experiences of those we’re serving” - Dr. Melissa Salm, Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for International Security & Cooperation at Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health #CUGH2023

Wonderful plenary discussion today at #CUGH2023 covering the impact of everything from artificial intelligence, politics, funding issues to global health terminology and pandemic preparedness and much more as we reimagine #globalhealth for the future.

Arguably the greatest honor in my life thus far: to be a fellow panelist (!!??!!) alongside deans, directors, and former ministers of health, to share my perspective as an early career academic on what GH should encompass in the 21st century #cugh2023

#pathogensproject conversation about rebuilding the public's trust. LISTEN to Gustavo Palacios! “One of the feelings that I have about what's happening in all of these discussions […] is that, as scientists, we are not listening. The community is responding in a way that, 'We ...

Excited to participate in this conversation today! #SynBioBeta2023

So proud to be part of the @concentricbygbw team - the discussion we’re having about the intersection of Caring/One Health/Biosecurity is so compelling. #SynBioBeta2023 Thanks to MelSalm @hogkar Jane Metcalfe for the brain food today 🙌

Video of plenary panel I joined for #cugh2023 recently uploaded. Watch me reimagine global health, critical med anthro style.

Our Head of Lab Network Partnerships @hogkar joined Jane Metcalfe and MelSalm at this year’s SynBioBeta Conference for a conversation about global health and why biosecurity research, surveillance, and governance is crucial for the health of everyone concentricbyginkgo.com/synbiobeta-con…

“It is increasingly unrealistic to base a biosafety system primarily on lists of known concerns and standardized practices,” write MelSalm & Sam Weiss Evans in response to @davidrgillum’s essay in ISSUES. issues.org/training-more-…
