@seatsixtyone One in 20. So assuming equal gender use, the beds will be too small for one person in every carridge...... Mentioning for a friend.

Postscript: I've just been told that the DreamSuite flatbeds will fit a 95 percentile male at 6' 2". I will therefore happily volunteer to test them, as and when!

So yesterday I *almost* attended the launch of DreamSuite, a flatbed seat designed by futuretravelstudio.com for overnight trains. Almost, because a signal failure at Neadsen brought Chiltern line to a stand. But here are their photos, and it's intriguing... 🧵 👇

@Ammer_B @cam_crid Thanks @Ammer_B. Important not to overinterpret and no substritue for good local data, but hopefully mint.dide.ic.ac.uk/can help support decisions on controlling malaria. Very much work in progress so any thoughts you have greatly received.
English
Thanks for organising @cam_crid, a great event and we learnt a huge amount!

#CRID organized a 5-day #MINT tool #training in Cameroon, led by Dr. Dominic Dee from Imperial College London. The workshop provided an introduction to the MINT tool and its applications for evidence-based decision-making in malaria vector control. #ACoMVeC, @gatesfoundation

Huge congratulations Dr @mara_kont on successful passing her viva today. Her thesis focussed on the public health impact of insecticide resistance in #malaria vectors

Very sad i could not join you yesterday! Great session!

Positive note for #ACoMVeC Symposium side event at #PAMCA9 ! 250 delegates heard from researchers like @cwondji, @ThomasChurcher, Dr Prashanth Selvaraj, Dr Ramses Djidjou on using data-driven math models to optimize vector control across Africa.

Pleased to announce that 12 countries in Africa will be allocated a total of 18M doses of the world’s first #malaria vaccine over the next 2 years with @Gavi support: bit.ly/44bLvOA @WHO @UNICEF @GSK @UNITAID @GlobalFund @MedAccessUK @PATHTweets @USAIDGH @CDCGlobal

Insecticide treated nets remain the mainstay of malaria control in Africa and >200 million distributed each year. Really interesting paper by @HKoenker and colleages showing how best to maintain - the all important - high net usage. Let's hope they remain effective........
Hannah Koenker@HKoenker
🦟It’s here! Our @MalariaJournal paper shows that continuous #bednet distribution could provide higher, more consistent protection against #malaria, with 20% fewer nets than mass campaigns – as long as nets last ≥2.5 years rdcu.be/dfNdl. 🧵1/7

Thank you @malariagenomics for this brilliant thread on how to spot an Anopheles mosquito 🦟

MalariaGEN@malariagenomics
Q: What’s the best way to annoy an entomologist on #WorldMosquitoDay? A: Post a picture of the wrong mosquito when you’re talking about malaria. There are 1000s of species of mosquitoes, but only those in the genus Anopheles are malaria vectors. Can you spot the Anopheles?

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria Chat Q5: For me, a good way to kill mosquitoes or stop transmission outside the home. Most malaria is prevented by stopping mosquitoes biting indoors, but this has been so successful many people are now bitten and infected before they go to bed!
English
#ActionstoEndMalaria chat Q5: Tell us which
💡 innovations you think can help us reach all communities with quality #malaria interventions and move the dial to achieving #malaria elimination? @Chemonics
English
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics @MRC_Outbreak Invest in local science and services. In the past there was a one-size-fits all approach to vector control but no longer. We need people trained in the art of the mosquito. Prevention is key and cost effective! #malaria #surveillance
English
@ThomasChurcher @Chemonics @MRC_Outbreak Thanks @ThomasChurcher, we agree! How do you think we can best strengthen #malaria #surveillance and establish a culture of data use in the health system?
English
#ActionstoEndMalaria chat Q1: How is the strengthening of health system infrastructure and capacities linked to the effectiveness of #malaria services & what is needed to ensure everyone has access to quality care including hard-to-reach populations? @Chemonics #GMC2023

Great news today: I Welcome @WHO recommendations on 2 new types of insecticide-treated nets, transformative tools that will have significant impact in #malaria & contribute to #endmalaria if tailored & targeted to those that need them @endmalaria who.int/news/item/14-0…
