⚛️Atomic lab is at #AAI2024 ! Curious about how to decode #immune responses to #flu #vaccines ? Come meet Immunaut, 👩‍🚀🧑‍🚀our new #AI tool! Let's chat at our poster (B946) today at 3pm Ivan (͡๏̯͡๏) #MachineLearning

Interesting article on CoP. For #strepA #GAS things seem complicated! No handy polysaccharide capsule to help- so caution in applying GBS and pneumo rules..OPK may work for some but not others🤯.. Hoping the #iSpynetwork 5yr mission will work out how we get to be immune !

ESGEM.SG is launching a working group to develop standards for interpreting #AMR genotypes. Much like EUCAST guidance for interpreting lab phenotypes as S/I/R, we want to define the #AMR rules for interpreting genotypes. #ESCMIDGlobal2024

#ECCMID2024 The M1UK #StrepA strain was circulating since 2008 but it was only more recently that we saw a surge in cases - so it must be a combination of pathogen, host & environment that led to recent outbreaks

#ECCMID2024 Prof Tom Solomon CBE presenting on if dexamethasone improves #HSV #encephalitis outcomes. 94 enrolled (took 8 years!). Huge effort but sadly no impact on primary or secondary outcomes.

So great to have this preprint out in the world. My first paper in this new field
I love, #StrepA .

Thanks to Josh Osowicki and Andrew Steer Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) for providing such a cool Strep A challenge model to study, & to all our coauthors, particularly Hannah Frost & Nikki Moreland

It’s hard to sleep whilst the global news is unfolding the stupidity of reckless actions by belligerent sociopaths. Kamala Harris recently said that it’s important to distinguish between the intentions of Netanyahu and those of Israeli citizens. I would apply that thinking to all…

Why & how do parents and children seek care for pharyngitis in the Gambia? Our paper PLOS Global Public Health journals.plos.org/globalpubliche… … in collaboration with MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM Edwin Armitage & Alex J Keeley & Thushan de Silva & Gabrielle de Crombrugghe

A super important paper! We have seen long term shedding by PCR of our immunocompromised patients - prolonged replication-competent omicron SARS-CoV-2 infections were uncommon.

Arts & Humanities are as important as STEM subjects in developing successful societies nationally and globally. Humans turn their thoughts into reality via individual and collective actions, good and bad. We neglect these subjects at our peril.

Good morning friends, sharing my quote for the day. Finally I found a definition of success that I like!

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
