Super pleased to finally have my first PhD chapter out on bioRxiv! We had a look at what funky incubation periods could do to genetic divergence @rabidbites

My first PhD chapter has been published in @PLOSPathogens! Is incubation period weirdness behind the lack of temporal signal in some rabies virus datasets? (probably not) https://t.co/UoDvFO1j5p

And just over 3.5 years later, I submitted my PhD thesis yesterday! 🐕🦠

Super excited to announce I'll be starting my PhD at the University of Glasgow in April, looking at metapopulations & the disease dynamics of rabies! 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐕

@aemidr Not quite yet! 😁

[Meaghan Kall has moved to Bluesky @kallmemeg]

NEW: It’s baaaaaack…!

Winter season is coming and so has the UKSHA weekly respiratory surveillance report resumed its weekly publication.

Headline: respiratory viruses are on their way up, led by rhinovirus (common cold) followed by COVID-19.

Had an amazing time at the UofG computational biology conference last week, and was super pleased to receive the best presentation award! Thanks to the organisers for putting on a great event 💻🌿

[Glasgow Computational Biology Community @glasgowcompbio]

Good morning! We’re busy setting up for a fantastic 2 days of computational biology fun. It was so nice of the folks at @UofGARC to set up a wee countdown for us, they must be just as excited for us to kick off us we are! #cbc24

[Liam Brierley @L_Brierley]

Applications still open until Monday for a three-year funded postdoc position within my startup lab group exploring new directions in computational virology, informatics, and macroevolution!

@BerbelFilho @UWF Congrats Waldir!! 🐠

Do I know any mustelid people on here who can help me figure out what this is? I can’t decide between otter and mink- seems too dark to be an otter but not pointy enough for mink? https://t.co/lynfYMnwiw

[Rowan Durrant @RowanGDurrant]

Great to be back in Swansea this past week for @ISEC_stats_ecol! Lots of interesting talks and cool people ☀️

Bad news: type 2 poliovirus found in Gaza sewage.

DECODING GENOMES - from sequences to phylodynamics: We are proud to present our book on how to analyse genomic sequences with an evolutionary perspective. See https://t.co/seRPOVuCyi for a free pdf, Amazon links for print orders, and further information. Great team effort 1/2

If you work on pandemics, global health security, disease ecology, or conservation, I hope you'll read and share our new preprint. 👇

(Or, just take this statistic: For every hour you travel from a clinic, the lifetime odds of detecting an outbreak goes down by one third.)
