Congratulations to Sai Thein Than Tun @tropicalmedicine.ox.ac.uk ‬for passing his PhD viva & overcoming some formidable obstacles in the process. Sai’s work on malaria elimination is a great example of simple models supporting clear thinking about complex processes link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Many hospitals in LMICs lack access to microbiology services. @cherrylim128.bsky.social et al asked if such services are a good use of limited resources. The answer: emphatically yes. Such services are likely to improve patient outcomes & reduce overall costs. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Kudos to 16yo son, Joe, who has a learning disability due to #ADNP syndrome, for completing his 50th #parkrun last week in Abingdon. Inspired by @johnharris1969.bsky.social ’s new book Maybe I'm Amazed www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie... Joe’s post-run chill-out was spent drumming to Kraftwerk’s Autobahn.

Just back from teaching on a 4 day policy-focused AMR workshop in Nairobi hosted by the brilliant cema-africa.uonbi.ac.ke (with generous funding from @wellcometrust.bsky.social). Great to meet so many inspiring people from throughout Africa working to reduce the number of lives lost to #AMR.

Systematic review of antibiotic durations in @jac-amr.bsky.social n=315 RCTs 85% demonstrated equivalence or non-inferiority of shorter therapy Only 7% in ICU, 14% in LMIC, and 15% low risk of bias academic.oup.com/jacamr/artic...

🚨 New preprint!! How can antibiotic-resistant bacteria increase in abundance in the human gut microbiome, even without antibiotics? 🧐 We show that strain-specific ecological interactions are key to understanding resistance dynamics in microbial communities. 🧵👇 1/5 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
