- 5 million years of loneliness Microbial life evolves without us, shaping disease in invisible ways. #BCOMING explores how hidden ecosystems reveal biodiversity’s role in resilience and disease control. 🧬 It’s more than what we see — it’s a molecular archive. (1/2)

- Can nature help fight disease? Biodiversity can both shield us and increase risks. #BCOMING explores how ecosystems influence disease spread — and why research and monitoring matter for public health. 🧠 Understanding dilution and amplification effects may help prevent future outbreaks.
