Currently in review. We synthesise recommendations from users and developers of #wastewater dashboards
Stakeholder Interviews to Inform Best Practice for Public Facing COVID-19 Wastewater Dashboards dlvr.it/T4fj8R
Project available with me and Henry Staines at QMUL on #wastewater epidemiology. Applicants pls do get in touch mrc-lid.lshtm.ac.uk/projects…
Are you are developer or user of #wastewater #dashboards for #SARSCoV2, based in #Europe? Daniela Morales (LSHTM MSc student) wants to interview you, pls sign ⬆️ forms.gle/3PwmQGYbfggt4qy8A we are investigating the rationale and best practices for wastewater dashboards (1/2)
A great tribute for @HumayunAsghar15 - the 'father' of polio laboratories who retired from #WHO recently. I have valued his input in a number of projects and lovely to see this piece polioeradication.org/news-po… #endpolio @EndPolioNow

I bought #TheClimateBook over the break and am trying to read a few chapters each day. Thesis reading strategy! This is quite a book - excellent reading so far from so many. Greta writes so well and so engagingly. Much to learn and strive to change.
Great summary @EdMHill and good to know you’re contributing so much 💪

an early start at the #GrandChallenges meeting in Brussels today. Just brilliant to catch up with friends & colleagues & make new ones. Highlight was discussion by Iruka Okeke with @BillGates Alex do Croo, Bettina Start-Watzinger. Investing in Innovation & Collaboration.
There was a great interview with B Gates last week in the Daily Telegraph, which prompted me to write a letter to the Editor for World #Polio Day. #Climatechange , financial & infrastructure turmoil means polio #eradication is being delayed. @endpolionow telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2022…
Very pleased to receive a SPI-M-O Award for #Modelling and Data Support. This was for research on how #wastewater can be used to better understand the #COVID19 pandemic. It lovely to receive, but would also not be possible without working with others. Thank you. #DataScience
Who is representing the #uk at the #WHS2022 and what will their pledge be for #polioeradication? Maybe @devex will tell me? #vaccineswork and are the most cost effective public health intervention out there.

Yes super-interesting and important. Engaging with sampled communities would seem like a first step…so how should scientists & public health go about this? Something like patient engagement used in trials? How can community consent be given (who represents a community)?

The #avianflu epidemic that has been happening in europe is pretty fascinating, but terrible for those more closely involved. The @ECDC_Outbreaks report is great ecdc.europa.eu/en/publicatio… Are there any public seminars coming up on the supposed drivers of increased incidence?
