I love science but one of the hardest things is saying goodbye to colleagues that move on to new jobs. Today was a really tough one, especially with COVID restrictions. @mavi_mancini you are a true friend and inspiration. Member you never really leave Sinkins #FriendshipGoals

Very interesting report for England. Rise in ONLY rhinovirus positivity. #flu comparison would be useful. Why RV sooo different? Presumably more transmissible: lower infectious dose/different transmission modes? environment stability? high serotype variation/pop susceptibility..?

#SARS_CoV_2 /#flu interactions – I’m asked about this a lot. A recent preprint logically concludes potential for a negative interaction but with increased risk of severe disease/death in those coinfected: doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…. My thoughts.. it’s complicated.. 1/8

The COVID-19 lockdown has resulted in an increasing number of #stray, feral and owned #cats giving birth this year, according to @themayhew.

Very happy to share these results, now out on @NatureComms: the characterization of a #microsporidian in An. arabiensis from Kenya, with decreased #Plasmodium transmission capacity.
Thanks to @JeremyHerren for involving me in this great project!

As a horse owner & rider, as well as an epidemiologist, these are deeply troubling times. Many animals require daily care and #veterinary assistance. #COVID19 response must consider vets and vet nurses as #keyworkers. We must protect #AnimalWelfare #exercise #mentalwellbeing
