"“Pandemics aren’t just biological events, they’re social events. By linking biological evidence from the bodies to the archaeological setting, we can see how disease affected real people within their social and environmental context.
“This helps us understand #pandemics in history as lived human health events, not just outbreaks recorded in text.” https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/31/plague-of-justinian-pandemic

Poster for the meeting titled “The Crises of the Human,” overlaid on a detailed painting depicting a chaotic, crowded scene of human suffering, conflict, and disorder, reminiscent of a medieval or early modern allegorical landscape(it is the painting ‘The Triumph of Death’, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder). On the left, large white text reads “The Crises of the Human.” On the right, smaller text states “16 December, 2 p.m.” and “Edições do Saguão, Lisbon.” Below the title, a list of speakers’ names appears in white text across the image: Sanjay Seth, Rahul Rao, Martin Savransky, José Neves, Tiago Saraiva, Afonso Dias Ramos, Antonio Pusceddu, Bárbara Direito, Carmo Daun e Lorena, Davide Scarso, Henrique Entratice, Joana Sousa Vaz, João Pedro Cachopo, Mariana Pinto dos Santos, Marcos Cardão, Marta Macedo, Ricardo Noronha, and Ruy Llera Blanes. Institutional logos and partner credits run along the bottom edge.

As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/measles-canada-americas-paho-who-elimination-status/

para los bilingües y poliglotas y glosolálogos que me siguen:

#measles = SARAMPIÓN

#sarampión ≠ VARICELA

#varicela = chicken pox

ahora tengo que repasar las diferencias entre la sarampión y la varicela porque no tengo ni puta idea.

a la verdad que no me acuerdo y no creo que haya habido sarampión en Puerto Rico cuando era niña; aunque siempre ha habido varicela. hasta a mi hijo mayor le dio varicela aquí en #nyc pero no al menor.
