Good to see ONT working on supply chains! Next, an African hub?

The Community events this year are moving from New York City to Houston and Singapore. There will also be staging post in Singapore so Asian customers can get flowcells within 48 hours from ordering. Then we have a very British health and safety briefing. :) #nanoporeconf

It's not easy to travel if you're from the Global South. Writing for @ThaiEnquirer, I explain in simple-ish terms the Kafkaesque trials someone with a "weak" passport has to go through to get the coveted visa stamp—even for short trips for leisure or work. thaienquirer.com/47573/globa…

The malaria parasite adapts--the rapid emergence of a new drug-resistant malaria parasite in Laos. More reason why the global #malaria community needs to pull together. telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…

Last man standing: why the malaria parasite may be getting tougher all the time

An ‘unusual’ malaria outbreak in Laos has highlighted the threat of drug-resistance in countries edging closer to elimination

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to take a sabbatical. I did something a little different - an industrial sabbatical at @awscloud. This was super fun and a great energizer for my own research! (note that all opinions here are my own) 1/

As scientists working in infectious diseases, the first thing that we do when a virus reemerges is to read the scientific literature. Ten MonkeyPox scientific publications that I read yesterday, thanks @rjlessells for the list! Fine et al. 1998 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2850…

The transmission potential of monkeypox virus in human populations - PubMed

Data on monkeypox in Zaire over the five years 1980-1984 are analysed to assess the protection imparted by past smallpox vaccination and the transmission potential of the virus in unvaccinated...
