@siwi_water Unless you have children! @siwi_water has a no child policy that is regressive and anti-family. My wife and I (who were speaking in the same session) were told by the organizers yesterday that our kids were not welcome (and an historic precedent). In 2024? That’s embarrassing.

Throughout the years, #WWWeek have been recognized as a truly inclusive space where everyone gets a chance to share their expertise. ▶️ What makes #WWWeek an inclusive space for you?

@Stl_Manifest I’m planning a return trip to Europe with my daughter…the name sake of my great aunt who was abroad the St. Louis. I’m thinking of her and my great grandparents and all the others who were denied entry in the US 85 years today. May their memories be a blessing

We developed an evidence-based, simple checklist tool to improve the reporting transparency of WASH interventions. Can be used by researchers and practitioners to add transparency and learning to implementation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @EmoryRollins

@Stl_Manifest This is my great grandfather

My name is Joseph Kaufherr. 80 years ago today I sought asylum at the US border and was turned away. I was murdered in Auschwitz.

@SNV_Kenya @EmoryRollins @GAINAlliance_KE @ReinildeEppinga Excited for our collaboration!

Thanks @EHPonline for the excellent piece summarizing our recent work on contamination of poultry products in Mozambique. Highlights the importance of paying attention to foodborne transmission of enteropathogen infection. And to markets as a source of those infections.

A new commentary by @EHPonline highlights our two recent papers on the health risks associated with foodborne diarrheal pathogens in LMICs and the challenges (and the urgent need) to address those risks. doi.org/10.1289/EHP141…. @klevy_uw @KayokoShioda @EmoryRollins

Today in @Nature a synthesis of the epidemiology of child #malnutrition in the Global South published in 3 papers led by our team. Below, I’ll highlight a few of the results #epitwitter #Medtwitter #tweetorial 🧵 (1/17)

Our new work in @EHPonline shows high contamination rates, particularly in markets, of poultry products with Campylobacter and Salmonella. Great team effort with partners at Univ Eduardo Mondlane, @ericfevre at @ILRI @MatthewCFreeman at @EmoryRollins, funding @gatesfoundation

📢Unless you reduce transmission through the 🐤food system, you cannot appreciably reduce infection of two critical pathogens, even if there are reductions via other pathways, like safe water, hand hygiene👇ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EH… @EHPonline @EmoryRollins @klevy_uw @KayokoShioda

@Delta The email you sent today implies that the MQD requirement is going down for each tier (eg 6k->5k for silver) but is in fact going up (3K->5K for silver). What gives?!

Over the past few weeks, many of you have shared feedback about the changes we announced to Delta’s SkyMiles® Program. Your loyalty matters. We've made changes and added new benefits to make sure you’re rewarded for your loyalty to Delta. Tap this link to learn more: dl.aero/60009aY14

Our new meta-analysis in @TheLancet : promoting handwashing with soap reduces respiratory infections by 17%. Paper 👉 buff.ly/3oPFpUg Blogpost 👉 buff.ly/3oFQK9e Handwashing is not just for pandemics. Endemic pneumonia kills 2.5m every year.

Up to 17% of acute respiratory infections in #LMICs could be reduced by #handwashing with #soap, new analysis shows 🧼🫧 Researchers say findings in @TheLancet highlight "missed opportunity" to reduce the burden of respiratory disease Read more 👉 bit.ly/425wlJ7

@CMarsit Sorry about your loss Carmen. The faculty and students really appreciate all you do for us.

New @NEJM shows median time from symptom onset or PCR+, whichever was first, to culture conversion was 8 days (IQR 5-10). In other words, about half of people with omicron are likely still contagious at day 8 or later (regardless of vaccine status). nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
