Healthy #soils are alive with movement, feeding, digging, and tiny interactions that shape our food, climate and health. In this video, I explore soil ecoacoustics — a cutting-edge way to “listen” to the hidden world beneath our feet. youtube.com/watch?v=gkRu... 1/2

In the 19th century, non-pathogenic microbes were referred to as 'eunuchs' because they were considered 'ineffectual' at being pathogens (spoiler alert: because they weren't pathogens!) 1/2

Microbes don’t just exist side by side – they communicate. They count. They coordinate. They act collectively. 'Nature’s secret language: On quorum sensing and quenching' New blog: www.jakemrobinson.com/blog/natures... 🦠 www.jakemrobinson.com

As climates shift, vectors, hosts and pathogens shift too. Disease patterns can move into new regions, and new interfaces emerge. Among other things, climate change is biological rearrangement! 1/

We've built a culture of #microbe-fear, but #immune systems also require appropriate exposure and training – especially in early life. We shouldn't abandon #hygiene – it's vital. But we need to recognise that #ecological health and immune resilience are intricately linked. 1/

The illegal #wildlife trade rewires #disease networks across ecosystems. The trade, valued at up to US $23 billion annually (some say it's the 4th largest transnational organised crime), removes animals from their ecological contexts, creating new pathways for pathogens to 1/

🍄‍Nearly four million people are killed by fungal infections each year (compared to approx. 440,000 for flu, 140,000 for measles and 600,000 for malaria). Yet, less than 1.5% of all infectious disease research funding is directed to #fungi The good news? 1/3

When we change ecosystems fast, we change #disease risk. That also means risk is not fixed – it’s shaped by choices. #TheNatureOfPandemics – out now! www.jakemrobinson.com/books pelagicpublishing.com/products/the...
