I would like to leave X and move to BlueSky. Is the scientific community going to move there? I can’t see anyone there yet. If you have already, please let me know your handle.

EXCLUSIVE: I have just been handed this article from the Papua New Guinea Courier's person on the ground in the USA.

From the 5 March to 2020 to 5 May 2023, almost **230,000 British people** died of COVID. Look at those two large waves before vaccines became available. Let's not let certain politicians erase what happened, and what a massive once-in-a-lifetime crisis and loss of life this was.

In light of this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… I am reposting my thread about how we need to take Period pain MORE seriously not LESS. The solution is NOT to force girls in pain to attend school. The solution is to fucking address their pain so they don't lose days every month.

To the lovely guy on a bike on the Embankment who just intervened to stop a man hassling me, I didn’t get chance to thank you properly. So: thank you. There are amazing people out there #activebystander

@LydiaTrippler @LambertonLab @UofGlasgow @snf_ch @PoppyLamberton Yaaay! So pleased you’re in the group Lydia!!

Around 2 month ago I started as a research fellow at the @LambertonLab @UofGlasgow funded by @snf_ch. Looking forward to continue exciting #schisto research with these lovely people! Still intervention-focused, now combined with health economics and geospatial analyses. #beatNTDs

@eshelman_s Amazing!! Well done!!!

What an unforgettable #EGC2024! I learned a lot about the dry and alpine grasslands of South Tyrol ⛰️🌾🏔️ and talked with many grassland ecologists from all over Eurasia about their fascinating work! To top it all off, I won a Young Investigator Prize! Can’t wait until next time

@MartaCampillo_ I see you are doing a talk!!

Who is going to #Hydra #helminth #conference this year?!? I’m getting excited!!!

@CDCInjury @CDCgov Why do you need a reminder that your kid is in the car?!?

TIP: To remind yourself that a child is in the car, keep a stuffed animal in the car seat. When the child is buckled in, place the stuffed animal in the front with you. This goes for furry friends, too! Get more tips: bit.ly/3S4PV5S
