🚨National Statement from Canada's Healthcare community: #ScienceMatters! Too often lies – about vaccines, COVID, ivermectin, etc. – harm patients, policies & the public. Canadian medical, research, clinical and healthcare organizations stand up for science!📢 Signed by over 20 leading orgs...👇

Raina Plowright mentions the free Coursera course, starting 30 June: "One Health Investigations of Outbreaks and Spillover Events" (instructor: Emily Gurley). #PandemicSciences25 www.coursera.org/learn/one-he...

Tomorrow (Tue 1 July) I’ll be speaking @psioxford.bsky.social #PandemicSciences25 Conference on the Global Governance of Pandemics and Incorporating Science into Law, focusing on our work on the #PandemicAgreement It’s wonderful to see how much enthusiasm there is for the new treaty.

Tee hee made it through day one of the #pandemicsciences25 conference and still healthy in the outbreak simulation!

Well this is a rather gorgeous spot for a #pandemicsciences25 conference lunch! #heatwave #climatechange #pandemic

First panel of the #pandemicsciences25 conference. Really interesting discussion about early detection and spillover events in zoonotic diseases and how they can inform pandemic preparedness

Really loved the opportunity to learn more about the opportunities and pitfalls of life as an early career researcher from such amazing speakers as @peterhorby.bsky.social and others at the workshop before the #pandemicsciences25 conference

Something to print and have on my wall

Sometimes the best you can do is put on some music and inhale the latest @kjcharleswriter.com in a matter of hours. Thank you KJC! You have saved my week and probably what little sanity I have left

We are long overdue for some floofiness on this feed. Red panda happy hour starts now.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.

The degree if overlap between a AI generated virus and the experimental findings is incredible! One took 5 years, the other 5mins. But really demonstrates how AI can compliment traditional experimental methods, a great presentation from Dr Joe Grove #ukpsn25

This. This is the slide #ukpsn25

Now let’s see what it looks like when implemented … 🤷‍♀️

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Wish she’d been mentioned in any of my undergrad or masters classes, but thank you for spreading the word now!

I'd like to tell you a story about a scientist you may not have heard of, but who shaped a lot of modern health research... 🧵

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know: 1. Vaccines work and are safe. 2. Solid fats aren't health foods. 3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat). 4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure. 5. Measles is bad for you.

@andyburnham.bsky.social opening the keynote with an invitation to help Manchester reclaim the 24/7 party people mantle from 10 Downing St is an awesome start #ukhsa25

Day one at #UKHSA25 off to a good start

At the Governor's Ball at the White House, the U.S. Marine Choir cleverly chose to sing "Can You Hear the People Sing," a song from Les Miserable about the French Revolution, where the people rose up against King Louis XVI's tyranny. What a clever way to stand up against wanna-be “king” Trump!
