@ProfRachelGaN Yeah - I’ve included these when teaching about biases in medical data and why some people (rightly) may be untrusting of the medical establishment especially if they are disabled or non-white…finding examples wasn’t hard 😢

@ProfRachelGaN Sadly there’s more examples from the uk about non-consensual medical experiments: Radioactive chapati thread leads to calls for inquiry https://t.co/v7FLnemK45

[HATMEPP @hatmepp]

HAT MEPP are this week in Guinea catching up with #PNLTHA and #IRD and seeing some of the fantastic work they are doing in the field along with getting to grips with some tsetse in the lab! 🪰#beatntds #sleepingsickness

[Prof Kat Rock @drKatRock]

@clhubes Haha 😂 it’s amazing what you get used to

[Prof Kat Rock @drKatRock]

@clhubes Being told a student is a freshman at high school and having zero idea how old they might be

[albert picado @AlbertPicado]

Investing in RDTs (@FINDdx), better treatments (@DNDi) and vector control tools (@ird_fr @LSTMnews) and a fantastic team (#PNLTHA) provides a good value-for-money in the #SleepingSickness (#gHAT) elimination efforts in Mandoul (Chad)

@dr_anne_cori Congratulations! Happy international women’s day 🙂 thanks for showing what great science women can do!

[Prof Kat Rock @drKatRock]

A bit of Sunday @MarieKondo-ing my spice draw but disappointed to discover @KnorrUK’s stock pots no longer indicate what they are on the lid ☹️ how long before I accidentally put the wrong stock in a dish?

[HATMEPP @hatmepp]

What a privilege for @hatmepp to be part of National HAT day yesterday for the first time since the pandemic, and to catch up our collaborators and their fantastic work. 👏👏👏 #100percentCommitted to #BeatNTDs

[Prof Kat Rock @drKatRock]

@RanthonyEdmonds I lobbied my department to get a licence. Now it doesn’t matter who owns a project and track changes is very useful for working with students, staff and collaborators

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

My congratulations to the government, health workers and communities in #Ghana for eliminating gambiense Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). This is an historic achievement, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork we can #BeatNTDs.
