List of reasons to have a cup of tea:

-You’ve received good news
-You’ve received bad news
-You’re thirsty
-You’re tired
-You’re cold
-You’re under the weather
-You’re bored
-You need a break
-To make up after an argument
-Because someone else is having one
-To be polite
-Because you’re back from holiday
-Because biscuits are dry
-Because it’s a day ending in Y
-Just because you want one and you don’t ever need a reason so actually just ignore this list

PAPER ALERT🧵
The recent pandemic confirmed that the elderly are at higher risk when it comes to infectious diseases: they are more susceptible to getting infected and developing severe disease, and their immune system is also less responsive to vaccines (immunosenescence). 1/5

[Dr Carla Usai @CarlaBiotech]

Our results, together with data on the efficacy of the already available vaccines in different age groups, highlight the importance of both preclinical and clinical studies for the optimisation of vaccination strategies for elderly individuals. 4/5

Long COVID is a double curse in low-income nations — here’s why

Not only is the prevalence of the condition poorly understood, but it’s also often ignored by physicians and the wider public https://t.co/BAhPpIxV7N

Our aim for 2023 was starting the development of small #animalmodels for #LongCovid #neuroCovid within the @epivinf project. It has been a huge team effort at @CReSA_r that I'm sure will pay back!

On the ninth day of studies, for studying post-covid we guarantee,
Animal models are the key!

🫱🏽‍🫲🏿 Thrilled to celebrate the #EPIVINF annual meeting at Palau Macaya in Barcelona!

🤯 Reunited and witnessing incredible strides in understanding how viral infections impact genes, immunity, and health.

👩🏽‍🔬 Let's keep pushing forward!

Addio a Giorgio Napolitano. L’ex capo dello stato aveva 98 anni. È stato il primo Presidente della Repubblica italiana a essere rieletto per un secondo mandato. 🇮🇹
