Recorded on 10 July 2025 for ICMDA Webinars.Howard Lyons chairs a webinar with Prof Annelies Wilder-SmithThe COVID-19 pandemic taught us that global health is interconnected, and delayed action costs lives. Strong public health systems, early response, and equitable access to vaccines are critical. The rapid development of mRNA vaccines showed the power of well-funded, coordinated science.However, science must remain apolitical - when politicized, it erodes public trust and fuels misinformation. Clear communication, preparedness, and protecting vulnerable populations are essential. The pandemic revealed the fragility of health systems and the urgent need for resilience. As Scripture reminds us, pestilences are part of a broken world (Luke 21:11) - COVID-19 was not the first and will not be the last.Dr. Annelies Wilder-Smith has devoted her career to emerging infectious diseases, particularly those impacting low- and middle-income countries. Her path was shaped during two decades in Asia, where she was at the forefront of the SARS outbreak, and investigated the H5N1, dengue and Zika virus outbreaks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she served as an external advisor to the World Health Organization, where she developed COVID-19 vaccine policies for the global use.Annelies is Honorary Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Past President of the International Society of Travel Medicine, and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Travel Medicine. Her academic career resulted in 380 publications and many research grants. She leads the Lancet Commission on Dengue and was Principal Investigator of EU-funded research consortia.Her awards include the Myron Levine Vaccinology Prize and the CDC Honor Group Award. Annelies is also the author of Travel Medicine: Tales Behind the Science and Grasping Heaven, a biography of Dr. Tami Fisk. She lives in Switzerland with her husband, a professor of neurology; both their children are physicians in training.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Certaines communes rusent de créativité (et parfois aussi de bon sens) pour éviter les embouteillages de touristes, et la destruction de l'environnement induite par leur venue. Voici quelques exemplesInterdiction de déposer une serviette de plage sur la plage de Stintino en Sardaigne. Pourquoi ? Pour éviter d'emporter le sable avec soi.Interdiction de faire des châteaux de sable sur la plage d'Eraclea (nord-est) pour éviter aux sauveteur de trébucher. Cette même interdiction s'applique sur la plage de Sylt, en Allemagne pour préserver le littoral.Interdiction de glaner des galets sur les plages française : pris en flagrant délit, cela pourrait vous coûter 1500 euros.Interdiction de fumer des joints dans l'épicentre d'Amsterdam, dans le fameux quartier rouge. Chaque année, les coffee shops attirent 3 millions de touristes dans la capitale néerlandaise, les autorités veulent éviter le tourisme du cannabis.Interdiction de réserver sa place sur la plage avant 9h du matin sur la plage de Calpe, en Espagne. Amende possible : 250 euros. Tout autre objet laissé sans surveillance pendant plus de trois heures pourrait aussi être emporté. A Torrox, les personnes qui réservent leur place avec une serviette ou une chaise longue et qui s'absentent plusieurs heures risquent aussi une amende. Interdiction de faire des selfies dans de plus en plus de lieux touristiques populaires. Une étude publiée dans le Journal of Travel Medicine en 2022 a identifié 379 décès liés aux selfies au cours des 13 années précédentes. Cela fait une moyenne de 29 morts par an dûs à des chutes du haut de falaise, d'accidents avec des trains, des rencontres dangereuses avec des animaux sauvages provoquées par l'envie criante de faire un selfie...Vous aimez ce contenu ?

If you've been paying attention to the mental health and wellness space, you know that psychedelics have burst onto the scene in a big way. Major universities like Johns Hopkins, Yale, and Berkeley are studying their effects on PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.  Many guides and shamans in this space describe the use of psilocybin, MDMA, and other substances together with integrative therapy sessions to be equivalent to years and years of traditional therapy.  And now, these plant medicine journeys are making their mark on luxury wellness travel.  My guests today are Robert Grover and Gary Logan who provide private luxury retreats and create profound experiences for clients.  We discuss their experience with these medicines, their guiding philosophies, and how they orchestrate a comfortable luxury setting. For more accessible information on the science of psychedelics I can also highly recommend the Michael Pollan interview on The Tim Ferris Show.  Last but not least, though the substances discussed on this episode are showing great promise in the clinical studies, they are not legal in the United States and many other countries.

Superbugs develop their resistance to antibiotics by mixing and mingling with each other. Many superbugs travel on and in our bodies as we go back and forth overseas. But that isn't the only way they move. In this episode we find out how superbugs spread in surprising ways and are found in the most remote locations. We find out why some countries are hotspots for resistance and what happens if you become infected with a superbug while travelling.Have a look at ResistanceMap, where you can see interactive world maps of antibiotic resistance by pathogen and antibiotic use by type in every country.Here is a link to Dr Isabel Frost's study:Isabel Frost, DPhil, Thomas P Van Boeckel, PhD, João Pires, PhD, Jessica Craig, BA, BS, Ramanan Laxminarayan, PhD, Global geographic trends in antimicrobial resistance: the role of international travel, Journal of Travel Medicine, Volume 26, Issue 8, 2019, taz036, https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taz036This article from 2019 in the New York Times about superbugs in India's River Ganges, using powerful photography to capture this issue.Read about the Beach Bums Survey on antibiotic resistant E. coli in the guts of surfers versus non-surfers here.Find out why antibiotic resistance is a particularly big challenge in remote Indigenous communities in this article in The Conversation.Interviewees in this episode:Surfer Ian Cohen, who is also a climate change activist and speaker on environmental issues.Dr Isabel Frost, who was working in India for the Centre for Disease Dynamics and Policy, and is now working as a consultant for the World Health Organisation.

Australia's next public health threat has wings, and it's already landing.

Vaccines have worked in the same way since they were invented more than 200 years ago: they use a weakened version of the targeted virus to create an immune response that the body remembers. Since COVID-19 appeared, a new kind of vaccine has emerged -- the mRNA vaccine. The mRNA vaccine is a unique delivery system that focuses specifically on the cells that are the targets of an infection. And, as Robert Salata, MD, UH infectious disease specialist and Program Director, Roe Green Center for Travel Medicine and Global Health, explains, researchers are now studying how to use this revolutionary technology to fight other diseases such as HIV, rabies and influenza.

Going into this series (with an open mind) we have made a few assumptions about the current 'lie of the community pharmacy training land' and it is largely that there is very little investment in community pharmacist development above and beyond mandatory training requirements. As part of this series, we will talk to a range of key players in pharmacy with an interest in community pharmacist education and training. My co-host for many of the series will be fellow pharmacist Derek Evans. In this episode, we were very fortunate to be joined by Professor Larry Goodyer. Larry Goodyer is Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the School of Pharmacy at De Montfort University UK. We discussed a range of topics. the list below will give you a flavour of the conversation. The current state of community pharmacy in the UK. The community pharmacy workforce crisis. Training activity currently happening in community pharmacy. Whether or not community pharmacists are knowingly competent when using their independent prescribing qualification. The regulation of independent prescribing. Futures training models for community pharmacists. The importance of supervision and multidisciplinary working. About Professor Larry Goodyer Larry Goodyer is Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the School of Pharmacy at De Montfort University UK. He worked as a clinical pharmacist through much of the 1980s and early 90s and until 2003 was Head of the Pharmacy Practice group at King's College London. His principal interest is within the field of travel medicine, in which he is keen to promote the role of pharmacists. He has lectured and taught widely on Travel Medicine to both Health professionals and the public and has been invited to address both national and international conferences on the subject, as well as appearances on television and radio broadcasts. Related research interests include methods for bite avoidance and medical supplies for overseas travel. More broadly in his capacity as a Professor of Pharmacy Practice, he has been involved in research and teaching on a wide range of issues related to the profession of Pharmacy. These include new roles for pharmacists such as prescribing and medicines management. About Derek Evens Derek Evans FRPharmS, FRGS, FFTM RCPS (Glasg), FISTM, Independent Prescriber.

Hello All and Sundry! In Lieu of our regular episode this week, we proudly present the first episode of Space 3D, hosted by Space Pharmacist Eleanor O'Rangers and Company. For those of you who love learning about the universe and space history, Space 3D is the place to be! Episodes will launch from here initially, then move to their own feed, so give them a try!For their debut, the Space3D crew is traveling to Skylab to learn about the medical aspects and workday anecdotes of life in space! Enjoy, and See you all again next week-Dr JPodcast #1- An Interview with Dwight Steven-Boniecki on Skylab medical capabilitiesDwight Steven-Boniecki was born in Sydney, Australia in 1969, a few months before manwalked on the moon. He spent much of his childhood fascinated with space exploration -growing up in the shadow of Apollo and under the direct influence of science fiction films suchas Star Wars. The latter shaped his desire to work in the film/television industry.Having worked in the television industry in Australia, the United States, Great Britain andGermany for nearly 25 years, Dwight's professional qualifications helped to complement hisunderstanding of the pioneering television achievements of the U.S. space program.Initially to satisfy his own curiosity, Dwight combined his professional background with hisinterest in spaceflight and researched the television systems developed by NASA. To hisdismay, he discovered that while the information was available, it was not easy to access, andhad never been comprehensively written about. He set about to change that, and ended upwriting the ward-winning book, "Live TV From the Moon" as well as “Live TV From Orbit.”An avid space historian, Dwight places a great amount of detail in presenting the story with therespect it rightfully deserves, but is often unfairly denied. To that end, he is also notable forauthoring the Apogee Books 3-book series, “Skylab: the NASA Mission Reports” and isfinalizing a documentary entitled, “Searching for Skylab”, which is planned for a 2018 release.Dwight is married and lives with his wife in Cologne, Germany. He regularly dazzles his workcolleagues with his unusual knowledge of all things NASA television camera related. In hisspare time, he enjoys assuming the virtual controls of Lockheed-Martin's Prepar3d flightsimulator, listening to classic rock (the Beach Boys and Harry Nilsson especially), and watchinga wide variety of feature films.---Emily CarneyA spaceflight blogger and author based on Saint Petersburg, Florida, Emily has written for ArsTechnica, The Space Review, and AmericaSpace.
