Anyone in #indianapolis #compost and noticing larvae in your compost? They’re great. Also - can I have some? DM me if you see them - we are using them (black soldier flies) in our research.

"Dr.C, I found one crummy looking pinworm egg on the wetmount, but I cannot find anymore after 15 mins to confirm!"
UV for the win!
Many helmith ova are autofluorescent under broad range excitation filters! This is a standard filter block used for calcofluor white.

Got word that Philly’s new public loo opened in Center City today, so I’ve armed myself with a 40 oz Wawa iced tea to give you a first person review. Dear lord this thing better be open I have to pee so bad. Follow along for some service journalism by yours truly. (A thread)

New pre-print just posted, led by @gouthamigrao with input from many others including @CaponeLabIU, @shitsheaux
Here we examine ATL wastewater for a wide range of mostly enteric pathogens, using TAC. A lot of potential for screening many targets.

You should see the living conditions of the communities near the mines where those rubies are found. 35 million dollars would change their lives forever.
What a gem! The biggest ruby ever to come to auction has been sold in New York for a record sum of just under $35m (£28m) 💰
The stone, a whopping 55.22 carats, was discovered last year in a mine in Mozambique.

Just out: protocol paper for our current work on sanitation expansion in urban Maputo. We've just wrapped up data collection & will be releasing what I think will be highly interesting results over the next 2 years. Wonderful collaboration!

Mozambique is suffering its worst cholera outbreak in 20 years. It is a tragic example of the intersection of the #climate and #sanitation crises: a cyclone hitting areas where sanitation services are poor, spreading faecal contamination and disease.

There is a description of "farmstead toilets" on tenant farms in rural Alabama, & their role is described primarily as one of fly control.
Flies can spread around fecal pathogens. Our work:

Authoritarianism is more than that…I have never tasted tear gas before, but today it was real. It is simply incredible. This is not democracy — #Azagaia #Mozambique.
Drew Capone retweeted
Oh. The govnt agents finally showed up - in full display and in the format of riot police. Objective: to stop #Azagaia’s funeral procession. The widow had to come out of the car to personally beg police to let them pass.
How can a peaceful funeral be a threat to public security?

Hi friends, it’s been a while. Thanks to everyone who thoughtfully engaged with my recent piece on why poverty persists in America.
I'm hopping back on here after a 2-year hiatus to answer some questions about the poverty measure I used in the piece.

This is how many areas of Mozambique look like after cyclone Freddy. There is still more rain coming up, and most rivers in the country’s central and southern regions have overflowed.
