@MicrobLog_me_uk @biainfection Thanks for reading, hard to construct a business case without more robust evidence of benefit: currently largely theoretical. Need the RCTs we discuss in the paper to report ASAP! (Working on it)

Happy birthday Hans Christian Gram: a pioneer in diagnostic microbiology. Image if he got 1p/cent for every time his test was used? #IDtwitter #millionairemindset

Super excited about #OptionsX19. Looking forward to speaking tomorrow about point-of-care testing and also briefly this evening too!

Terrifying to see. Measles spreads between people quicker than an @JofraArcher bouncer. Make sure your kids are vaccinated! #ValueofVaccines
