Hvad bilder Mette Frederiksen og socialdemokraterne sig egentlig ind, når de igen og igen kommer med moraliserende kommentarer om, at danskerne skal tage sig sammen, og arbejde mere - hvis der skal være råd til velfærd i fremtiden. For det første: Danskerne knokler. Vi har aldrig haft flere mennesker i arbejde. Og vi arbejder mere effektivt og produktivt end nogensinde før. Mange arbejder på skæve tider og mere end fuld tid. Vi løber så stærkt, at mange har svært ved at få familielivet til at hænge sammen. Det er sgu da en hån, at privilegerede og vellønnede politikere fra deres velpolstrede stole skal moralisere om dovenskab og arbejdsmoral overfor de mennesker der knokler og skaber værdierne i samfundet. For det andet: Hvis der ikke er råd til velfærd i fremtiden så peger pilen et sted hen – og det er på Mette Frederiksen og Socialdemokraterne selv. Det er dem, som lige nu tvinger kommuner og regioner til at skære dybt i velfærden – så ældre, børn og mennesker med handicap svigtes. Det er dem, der vil anvende milliarder på at sænke skatten for virksomhedsarvinger, ejendomsinvestorer og millionærer – frem for at genopbygge velfærden efter mange års negligering. Så kære Mette Frederiksen. Stik piben ind og vis lidt respekt for danskernes hårde arbejde. Vi er ikke kreaturer, der skal spændes for din konkurrencestat. Og vi er ikke så dumme, at vi ikke kan gennemskue, at velfærdens krise ikke skyldes dovenskab hos danskerne, men politikernes svigt.

Can viruses🦠 from the past threaten the future? 🧊#EUfunded project @EuropeVeo's scientists conducted an expedition in Greenland to assess if permafrost could release dangerous pathogens. Read about it in @ScienceMagazine 👇 science.org/content/article/…

VEO aims to improve the early warning system that tracks key pathogens, potentially thwarting pandemics science.org/content/article/…

VEO's goal is to assess the risk that, as the Arctic warms and the permafrost thaws, long-frozen soil could release dangerous pathogens. science.org/content/article/…

The focus is on “Challenges & Strategies to preparedness & response to Communicable & Non-Communicable Diseases: lessons learnt from the COVID- 19 pandemic" @dkomics @FrankAarestrup @DanishMFA @foodDTUdk @DTUtweet @infantcentre @EAHRC_eahealth

Interested in our work? In the @EuropeVeo consortium we study pathways of disease emergence. One of the case studies focusses on Greenland, a rapidly changing environment for which little is known. We fitted an expedition to collect baseline information. 1/..

this movie shows how an expedition like this works. Kudo's to the team. With data like this we hope to eventually be able to better predict diseases veo-europe.eu/news/2023/09/v… @gail_carson @Chikwe_I

More than half of participants are from africa and latin america. #veme2023

Commentary on climate and pandemics: "Will climate change amplify epidemics and give rise to pandemics? Most certainly yes, if the world stands still". Hear hear science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

Thanks Marion for highlighting our piece on Science on why the world need to start acting now to stop epidemics and pandemics that are being amplified by climate change.

I very much appreciate @siliconrepublic giving me the opportunity to talk about the Pathogens Portal at @emblebi @ENASequence and how it’s poised to be at the centre of the open biodata sharing, preparing for the next pandemic. siliconrepublic.com/innovati…

@pvanheus to take out one source of variation, in our Eu funded consortium @EuropeVeo we developed workflows to process all incoming raw sequence reads, leading to a mutation database for research biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I am going to #ISMBECCB2023 and will be presenting this paper on Monday, July 24th, at 14:50! Come by if you want to hear more about large-scale #metagenomic analyses of #antimicrobialresistance #AMR! 🧬🤓

Glad to share one of our weekly microbiology highlights - this time on the global analysis of sewage microbes: nature.com/articles/s42003-0… Research from @EuropeVeo, @foodDTUdk, @simonrasmu, @FrankAarestrup

🚨Molecular data for over 200,000 pathogen species and strains are now available in our new Pathogens Portal, launched today. An indispensable resource for healthcare research, global pandemic surveillance, and food security. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/technol… #pathogensportal

Where do you search for pathogen data? @emblebi’s new Pathogen Portal contains molecular data for over 200,000 pathogen species and strains. An important resource for pandemic preparedness, healthcare, and food security. embl.org/news/science/pathog…

Great work from an ongoing collaboration across many groups and projects: @emblebi, @EuropeVeo, @BYCOVID_eu, @ReCoDID2, @EoscLife, #ELIXIRCONVERGE, @ELIXIREurope.
