Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust, argue Heidi Larson and David Bersoff Science & scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway 🧪 #AcademicSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

They were prepared to think through annexing Greenland and Canada, but this was a step too far for The Economist.

Thanks to all of our speakers, attendees, and sponsor BMKGENE for our successful workshop on experimental design @uog-ell.bsky.social ! Hoping to have it bigger and better next year! @pcdjohnson.bsky.social @nc3rs.bsky.social

Thanks to @mornorse.bsky.social for his excellent sketch of the talk I gave yesterday on using simulations to better design and analyse animal experiments.

Sharing this from brilliant @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social PhD student Victoria Githu, a #modeller & #malaria researcher at #IfakaraHealthInstitute. Well done on presenting poster at #ASTMH #TropMed24 on systematic review of the design & methods for measuring entomological data in vector control trials

We need more ways to kill mosquitoes, especially outside the home where most people are vulnerable. Got a crazy way of clobbering mossies? If so, this call is for you. www.ivcc.com/call-for-pro...
