Great to have @kmeade11 up from @UCD_CHAS to talk about his work on bovine tuberculosis, the effects of vitamin D host supplementation and exploring the epigenome and metabolome of infected animals.

[Johannes Charlier @charlierjo]

Thanks to inputs from many great scientists and great leadership team from @AFBI_NI

New work by expert group on mammalian tuberculosis.
"The role of environmental persistence of M. bovis needs further investigation to assess its role in the epidemiology and transmission of mammalian TB to cattle" Thank you @AFBI_NI et al.

Really pleased that the @AFBI_EMbI team @AFBI_NI were able to lead and contribute to the @StarIdaz disease control tools (DISCONTOOLS) chapter on mammalian TB. Thanks to @charlierjo et al for asking us, and indeed to our wonderful team of collaborators.

[Purnika Ranasinghe @purrd_mindi]

Absolutely grateful to be here at the Wellcome Genome Campus to present our work on Listeria monocytogenes prevalence, AMR & pangenome at the Genome Informatics conference. Delighted to receive some insightful feedback. Cheers to our Pathogen Genomics team @AFBI_NI @AFBI_EMbI

[QUB Wastewater based Epidemiology Group @Qubwastewater]

Glad to see our influenza A wastewater paper is now published in the @LancetMicrobe
Now over to @andy_jlee in the studio for a roundup of our findings.

@NicolaeC3 @AFBI_NI Congrats Eugenia and Nicolae!

@noah_legall It's good, Noah. I have this (unfair??) aversion to self help books in general, but this one is great.

[AFBI EMbI @AFBI_EMbI]

Currently reading Cal Newport's 'Slow Productivity'. His maxims of 1. Do fewer things, 2. Work at a natural pace, 3. Concetrate on quality, have the ring of truth to them. And he cites Jane Austen as an example, which is great.

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset.

The real question is when are prosecutors going to charge scientific journals and scientific societies under RICO for their decades conspiracy to bilk taxpayers of billions of dollars to provide access to publicly funded research that always should have been in the public domain.
