Leeds Centre for Disease Models

Since 2020, we’ve used this account to share LCDM updates, highlight research stories, and connect with the Leeds community far and wide. However, in recent years - like many others - we’ve experienced a huge drop in engagement due to developments on the platform.

The account will stay open so we can respond to DMs, but you won’t see any new content from us. Instead, we look forward to connecting with the Leeds community on our other active channels.

The nature of the channel has also changed over the years and no longer aligns with our University values of collaboration, compassion, inclusivity and integrity. While this remains the case, we will no longer be actively posting on this account.
