Our new paper shows #urban #soils often host more potential zoonotic pathogens than forests, with parks & residential areas the highest. Some, like Klebsiella pneumoniae, were several-fold higher.

We need a #OneHealth approach.

We crowdsourced 40 Qs across 8 themes to fast-track multispecies, evidence-based cities—policy-ready comms, success metrics, interdisciplinarity, ethics/RRI, literacy.

New paper out! We trace how early ideas about a “bacillus of crime” are resurfacing in light of modern neuromicrobiology. Might #microbiome–brain science may reshape how justice systems think about risk & rehabilitation?

Led by Alan Logan! 🧠 🦠
