SUMMARY:Uncovering mpox: The underestimated crisis and its international spread
DESCRIPTION:The mpox outbreak has surged into a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)\, with the real crisis potentially worse than the official reports suggest. Undetected cases are spreading swiftly beyond Africa\, as this threat remains largely unchecked. The international community is lagging in the fight against mpox. BlueDot founder and CEO and EPIC member\, Kamran Khan\, likens the current approach to ignoring a raging fire next door while only dealing with the sparks that land on your roof. \nJoin Khan and BlueDot’s senior epidemiologist\, Anindita Marwah\, for an eye-opening discussion on the hidden scale of this outbreak and its far-reaching global implications. They will discuss BlueDot’s insights on the situation in Africa and beyond\, the significant challenges in containment\, and how air travel data can reveal the potential scale of the outbreak\, identifying critical areas where surveillance must be strengthened. Additionally\, they will address the overarching global challenges in surveillance and control efforts.

SUMMARY:The Microbiome from Planetary to Microbial Scale
DESCRIPTION:The Gairdner Foundation hosts its Global Perspectives Panel: The Microbiome from Planetary to Microbial Scale. Join the virtual event for a full-scale survey of the role of the microbiome in human health and the role of humans in a microbial world. \nLeading experts Brett Finlay\, Amber Benezra and Samira Mubareka (EPIC member) join Gairdner Early Career Investigators Sarah Elton\, Abiola Olaitan and Artem Babaian (EPIC member) to share knowledge on how our understanding of microbiota is being applied in immunology\, cancer and experimental systems\, what this means for human populations scientifically and ethically\, and how our complex relationships with our micro and macro environments shape us. \nRegister now via Zoom.  \n
