It was a lovely day for my annual visit to VetAgro Sup to give a lecture for the M2 One Health Managing Health of Populations. A small but dynamic group, I really enjoyed getting to know the students and discussing syndromic surveillance for #AnimalHealth and #OneHealth

"Nicky Dries is surprised that AI technology – which has only recently been adopted by a broad audience – is already enthusiastically embraced by universities and colleges, even though its long-term effects remain unknown. “Young people, but also children, are being used as guinea pigs.”"

On 20 March 2025, Trump’s NIH terminated a grant exploring structural racism as a second hit on APOL1 in kidney disease. The majority of the patients on the study’s stakeholder advisory board heard this as: ‘Your life does not matter to us’. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I try not to pay too much attention to metrics, citations, etc. but I was quite pleased to see the first citation of our review on #SyndromicSurveillance for #AnimalHealth in a #preprint addressing the House of Commons Public Accounts Select Committee 😄 www.researchgate.net/publication/...

As humans face record-breaking heatwaves, our new research led by Max Kotz shows intensified heat extremes caused a 25–38% decline in the level of abundance of tropical birds since 1950. These impacts often exceed those of average temperature rise and direct human pressures. rdcu.be/eAlQh

The universal experience of realizing your #code would be so much more efficient with some functions but you're too far done the path you've taken to go back and change it all 🤦‍♀️😭🤷‍♀️ #Rstats #code #coding #DataAnalysis #SciSky #AcademicChatter #PhDChat

Had an amazing week in Denmark 🇩🇰 Super busy, but it was great to catch up with old colleagues & supervisors @ucph.bsky.social , find & organize my samples 🧪, and make a plan moving forward 🤓 Thank you @sieravirus.bsky.social and the kittehs for hosting me! ☺️ #AcademicsWithCats #SciSky

Nothing could be more flattering, thank you so much @gmknght.bsky.social for highlighting our paper! We found that for some #bacteria 🧫 , connectivity between hospital wards is as / more important for explaining #AMR as antibiotic consumption, especially for highly resistant 🏥 endemics

When you're so excited about your project, you practically stream-of-consciousness draft your introduction. I feel so lucky that I still get to do science that gets me this excited! #SciSky #AcademicSky #PublishOrPerish #PhdChat #ECRchat

I am extremely pleased to share this feature articulating why I have lost my sanity lately. www.science.org/content/arti...

"I would not have dared to dream that metastatic melanoma would become a treatable disease in my lifetime. Yet here we are today, with 43% of people diagnosed with metastatic melanoma living 10 years or more, due to treatments that we broadly refer to as cancer immunotherapy." Barry P. Sleckman, UAB

No one and I mean NO ONE puts in more work than this one. Just *look* at the exhaustion. #AcademicsWithCats #PhdChat #FelidFriday #CaturdayEve #CatsofBluesky #SkyCats #AcademicChatter

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill begins the next step in its passage through parliament. I cannot stress enough how disastrous this would be for UK wildlife. We are asking all supporters to contact their MPs to ask them to support key amendments. ♥️🦇 www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/04...

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL. Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

no shit www.science.org/content/arti...

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Me trying to figure out if it's just a coincidence that everyone else is #WorkingFromHome today or if there's a public holiday or some obscure Catholic thing I'm unaware of 😅

Best 1st years ever 😍

Who needs groundhogs -- the #bats 🦇 are out hunting at sunset (saw the first ones last week actually), so that definitely means it's officially #spring (feels very early for Lyon 🇫🇷 but I'm going to look on the bright side - bats!)
