On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread.
Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take.

Wales votes tomorrow 🏴
Your mum. Your sister. Your daughter. Your granddaughter.
Which parties on tomorrow's ballot paper will actually show up for them?
We asked - we compared - we published ... so your vote is an informed one.
Here's our fact based results 👉https://t.co/XxKSgZ2QXU
Your vote has power. Use it wisely.
🐘The elephant is still in the room - and still being ignored.
Women are 51% of the Welsh electorate.
At every Senedd broadcast debate women have applied to be in the audience and submitted questions.
Single-sex spaces. The Supreme Court ruling. Men in women's sport. Mixed-sex toilets in schools.
Not one has been put to those seeking our votes.
We know many of the party representatives are scared to face these questions (not a surprise, given certain of their manifesto pledges) - but isn't that exactly WHY our broadcasters should be asking them?
We bet YOU can do better @MichelleDewbs@ThatAlexWoman@JuliaHB1 @DawnNeesomT
Returning migrating birds face disaster in Derbyshire. @networkrail operatives have cemented nest entrances closed. Full details on the link. #UnblockOurNests#Swifts

@thewinterdollx Between 50 to 60 athletes who went through MALE puberty have been finalists in the FEMALE category in global & continental track and field championships since 2000” No wonder female athletes have overwhelmingly supported sex screening! https://t.co/NAh5TRlR8Z
@reduxx Here's the moment when three intersex males took gold, silver, and bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics Women's 800M event. Not a single woman placed in their own category.
Over 1,200 Afghan girls and women are studying online through a volunteer led education programme.
60 have earned places at uni, 40 are starting internships, 20 are progressing to online Master’s degrees this September.
But most are still studying on smartphones.
1/2
We are raising funds for 60 laptops so they can step into these opportunities fully equipped. The first is already funded. 59 to go.

Thanks.
🌹 THIS SATURDAY Abergavenny High Street 🌹
We are incredibly proud to announce our very first Red Flowers for Afghan Women and Girls event, coming to the historic 'Gateway to Wales' - and we would love for you to be part of it.
Find us on the High Street, at the corner of Mountain Warehouse, where you can stop by our pop-up stall, choose a complimentary red tulip gift, and leaflets carrying the extraordinary, courageous words of Afghan women and girls writing under Taliban rule.
Their words deserve to be heard🌹
@WRNAfghanistan
Please sign this petition asking the UK government to exempt Afghan women from their recent ban on study visas. This new policy closes down a potential lifeline for Afghan women. https://t.co/mje8bAmIHz? @ShabanaMahmood

Today we celebrate the incredible mams and nains
across Wales - they are the hearts of our homes
and the backbone of our communities.
Welsh women are fiercely protective,
resilient, and unstoppable.
They carry families, shape futures, and still find time
to hold everyone else together.
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Your strength isn't just in what you do,
it's in who you are and who you make us❣️
@WRNWales@Worldcuptour@AlexDaviesJones I’m 110% sure Alex knows what a woman is 🥰🤱& would hope she is lobbying hard to get the Govt to implement SC judgement & EHRC COP
Labour votes will be on a huge scale lost if women & girls are not seen to be protected
(Ref: See 2024 US election..)
@Sorelle_Arduino@EHRC@marksandspencer Today at M&S Handforth dean.
One single sex changing room for men and another for men and women.
No single sex provision for women and girls.
Unlawful and discriminatory.
