📣 #Wastewater surveillance is a powerful tool. In this integrated molecular epidemiologic study of >1000 patients with #influenza, #RSV, or #Covid, it correlates year after year with number of inpatient + ambulatory cases. #IDSky #clinmicro #ViroSky #EpiSky #OA www.cmi-comms.org/article/S295...

The current U.S. regime is a danger to Europe and to the civilized world. It will take decades to repair what reckless amateurs have destroyed in just months. Americans—stand up and put an end to this disgraceful spectacle. #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #TransatlanticRelations #StandUpForDemocracy

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

‘Tulip’ comes from the Turkish word ‘tülbent’ which means "turban." The flower got its name from the resemblance of its overlapping petals to the folds of fabric in a turban.

Russia murdered 7 people in Kyiv last night, and injured 13 others. Civilian people, who were sleeping in their homes, where they were supposed to be safe, but weren’t, because our neighbor is a terrorist.

RFK Jr. has NO business being health secretary and his conspiracy theories are going to get people killed. This cannot continue—Republicans should join me in calling for RFK Jr. to be FIRED.

In the American ‘peace plan,’ some wording was found that had originally been written in Russian, The Guardian reports. Im surprised they even bothered to translate it.

I can no longer cite CDC or NIH in footnotes. Switching to Mayo Clinic, MGH and Johns Hopkins.

All 4 parts of the #WAAW2025 webinar series are available on ESCMID Media free for all users. Organised by the AMR Action Subcommittee, these webinars explored unconventional facets of #AMR. https://www.escmid.org/science-research/amr-action-subcommittee/activities
