SUMMARY:Notes for Tomorrow Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Notes for Tomorrow\nIn collaboration with Independent Curators International (ICI)\n\n16 December 2025 to 07 March 2026\nUP Vargas Museum 1/F Galleries\nExhibition preview on 16 December 2025\, 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM\nat the UP Vargas Museum\, West Wing Gallery\n\n‘Notes for Tomorrow’ features artworks from around the world brought together in 2020 to reflect on a new global reality ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming out of a moment where collective crisis had to be managed through collective care\, Independent Curators International (ICI) turned to 30 curators from 25 countries to consider the issues that have come to the fore in the pandemic’s aftermath\, asking each of them to share one artwork that they believe is vital to be seen today.\n\nThe UP Vargas Museum hosts the exhibition’s first iteration in Southeast Asia\, opening on 16 December 2025\, bringing together works across various geographies\, narratives\, and disciplines that stray from the colonial canon. The selected artists present works that question monumentality and seek the wisdom of localities. In this necessary moment of cultural transition\, each work acts as a source of inspiration from the recent past toward new futures. Rather than proposing a single path forward\, the artworks in Notes for Tomorrow present a network of overlapping solutions.\n\n___\n\nArtists of ‘Notes for Tomorrow’: Madiha Aijaz\, Ernesto Bautista\, Maeve Brennan\, Vajiko Chachkhiani\, Luke Luokun Cheng\, A Liberated Library for Education\, Inspiration\, and Action\, Nothando Chiwanga\, Shezad Dawood\, Demian DinéYazhi’\, Cao Guimarães\, Ilana Harris-Babou\, Rei Hayama\, Amrita Hepi\, INVASORIX\, Tamás Kaszás\, Ali Kazma\, David Lozano\, Mona Marzouk\, Joiri Minaya\, Peter Morin\, Omehen\, Daniela Ortiz\, Kristina Kay Robinson\, Luiz Roque\, Mark Salvatus\, Ibrahima Thiam\, u/n multitude\, Wayne Kaumualii Westlake\, and Yan Shi\n\nSource: UP Vargas Museum Facebook

SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #274  "Paano ba nahahawa sa Nipah virus?" Is it really a new threat?
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar274 \n  \nWebinar #274\nFebruary 20\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\n“Paano Ba Nahahawa sa Nipah Virus?”\nIs It Really A New Threat?\n\nPresenter:\nDR. JOSEPH ADRIAN L. BUENSALIDO\nInfectious Diseases Specialist and Clinical Associate Professor\nDepartment of Medicine\, UP College of Medicine and\nUP – Philippine General Hospital\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #274\nFebruary 20\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\n“Paano Ba Nahahawa sa Nipah Virus?”\nIs It Really A New Threat?\n\nThe persistent emergence and sporadic re-emergence of highly pathogenic zoonotic agents necessitate a vigilant and informed healthcare frontline. Among these\, the Nipah virus (NiV)\, a member of the genus Henipavirus\, stands as a significant public health priority due to its high case fatality rate\, which historically ranges from 40% to 75%\, and its potential for nosocomial transmission. As we navigate the early months of 2026\, recent clusters in South Asia\, including newly identified cases among healthcare professionals in West Bengal\, underscore the critical importance of diagnostic alacrity and stringent infection prevention and control (IPC) protocols.\n\nThe clinical spectrum of Nipah virus infection is notoriously protean\, often beginning with non-specific prodromal symptoms that mimic more common respiratory or febrile illnesses. Early detection remains a significant challenge\, yet it is the cornerstone of preventing community and facility-based outbreaks. In this week’s episode\, we will explore the nuances of the acute phase\, characterized by high-grade fever\, myalgia\, and respiratory distress\, while paying particular attention to the rapid progression toward neurologic involvement. We will discuss the pathophysiology of acute encephalitis\, marked by altered consciousness\, autonomic instability\, and segmental myoclonus\, which can lead to a comatose state within 24 to 48 hours of onset. In addition\, we will address the phenomenon of “latent” or “relapsed” encephalitis\, where survivors present with neurological deficits months or even years post-exposure\, emphasizing the need for long-term clinical vigilance.\n\nIn the absence of licensed vaccines or targeted antivirals\, the focus remains on rigorous supportive care and the immediate implementation of Risk Group 4 biosafety standards. We will review the essential role of specialized personal protective equipment\, the necessity of fit-tested N95 or P100 respirators\, and the specific laboratory protocols required for the safe handling of viremic specimens. Our main discussant is Dr. Joseph Adrian L. Buensalido\, an infectious diseases specialist and a Clinical Associate Professor from the UP-PGH Department of Medicine.\n\nJoin us in learning how we can protect ourselves against the spread of Nipah virus!
