We don't have a swear jar, we have a science jar for when I give the offspring an unwanted biology lecture. Infectious diseases are fascinating.

Our latest clinical trial research on the effect of Germ's Journey educational resources and handwashing products on paediatric wards, demonstrates a 38% increase in hand hygiene compliance in children in these settings. https://t.co/8OEcMDJ6wt

I'm launching a new journal

The Journal of Academic Clichés

We will only accept papers which claim to be game changers and/or paradigm shifters.

All articles must have "of critical importance" in the introduction and end with "more research is needed" even when it isn't.

🚀 Exciting news! New research tackles knowledge gaps in children's infection prevention against respiratory tract illnesses.

@germsjourney resources significantly enhance handwashing & pathogen transmission awareness, crucial for the post-COVID era.

This is Captain Behnam Zarei, a police officer called to a scene in #Iran by a pro-regime woman insisting he arrest another woman for not wearing Hijab. A brave man. Hopefully thousands like him joining the people tomorrow. #Feb16 #IranRevolution #OpIran
