Played a small part in this cool study @jem.org. Identifies myofibroblasts as sources of tissue damaging enzymes (MMP1) in TB granuloma, probably responding to cytokine cues from nearby macrophages. Question now is: can we target therapeutically to prevent post-TB lung damage? #TBSky #IDSky

Today is International HPV Awareness Day! Isn’t it great we have a vaccine helping us say “Bye bye cancer”! #IDSky

🙏🏼🙏🏼 @iainabbott.bsky.social for bringing us to the #Alfred Melbourne to build a collaborative UTI platform He is inclusive: pts, microbiologists/immuno, pharm, ID docs/GPs, trialists (super⭐ Aussies) @gurujosh.bsky.social attended from Newcastle @steventong.bsky.social will also advise #UTISky #IDSky

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

My own university has a "strategic goal" to increase research "outputs" by 10% annually (7 year doubling time). Your university is almost surely working towards the same. University rankings are now the main driver of this damaging institutional behavior. Publication is an out-of-control arms race.
