Good papers, like good wine, need maturing. I'm proud and thrilled to share our work on genomic epidemiology of K.pneumoniae in Valencia and differential transmission patterns of resistances, part of @nerisgg PhD thesis and the NLSAR consortium. https://t.co/dsWahGYmTv

Imagine resistance genes as stickers, and plasmids as the sticker albums where they're collected and swapped. 🤔🧩

Now, You should check this amazing work from Wang et al.! 👇

In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle.

They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training.

Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades.

The story of how ONE photo nearly deleted computing’s female founders: 🧵

It's beyond ridiculous that one of TWO BSL4 (highest security) labs in the USA & World Reference Centre for Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses has had funding cut by Trump & DOGE because it had a COVID component.

We are actively throwing valuable & critical science in the trash.

⚠️ BREAKING:

The CDC has issued a health advisory in response to ongoing human infections with H5N1 and high levels of seasonal flu.

"For hospitalized patients testing positive for influenza type A, faster testing to identify the influenza A virus subtype is recommended."

⚠️ BREAKING:

New Tick-Borne Virus, Xue-Cheng Virus (XCV), Detected in North-Eastern China 🇨🇳 252 People Infected.

Twenty-six people have been infected with Xue-Cheng Virus (XCV), showing symptoms from acute fever to severe conditions requiring hospitalization.

Very excited to share our recent publication with Verena Schuenemann and other excellent collaborators, including my former student Marta Pla-Diaz. We have improved the analysis of Treponema pallidum genomes with a Multiple_Reference_Based mapping. https://t.co/4QbGsit9bY

Haríamos bien de, no solo denunciar, sino también sancionar de forma severa estas prácticas, bien por la @CanalUGR 👏🏻👏🏻

Después del adolescente de Canadá ingresado en estado crítico, ahora tenemos el primer caso grave de #GripeAviar en EEUU.
Por eso decía hace unos días que no podemos bajar la guardia porque “la mayoría de los casos han sido leves”…

De nuevo han tenido que retirar del mercado un lote de leche cruda en California tras detectar #GripeAviar #H5N1 en la granja de la que procedía.
Es la segunda vez que ocurre este mes y ha afectado a dos productores diferentes… qué peligro! 😟

⚠️ BREAKING:

The total number of cases in the "mystery outbreak" in the Democratic Republic of Congo has increased to 527, according to the Africa CDC.

Last week, there were 147 new cases reported, suggesting that the outbreak isn't subsiding but rather extending.
