We were delighted to present our ongoing work characterising respiratory viral & arboviral epidemiology in Malawi to the @MEIRU_MALAWI & @MalawiHealth 🦠🇲🇼

Particularly proud of @kirstykwk & John Kelly, @CVRinfo Clinical Viral Epid Group PhD students who did great presentations!

[Voice of Rabbis @voiceofrabbis]

It may be a dark day for British Zionists, but not for British Jews. Israel is a political state; Judaism is a religion.

You represent the State of Israel, not British Jews.

Conflating the two and exploiting Jewish identity to defend Israeli policies is reckless and shameful, especially from someone speaking in a rabbinical capacity.

Andy Burnham was blocked *because* he is a strong candidate who would threaten Starmer's position.

This happens constantly at every level of the Labour Party. It is why so many Labour MPs, MSPs and councillors are incompetent.

New paper!!! 🦠
This project with @CVRinfo, @MEIRU_MALAWI and @health_malawi explored SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a longitudinal cohort from urban (Lilongwe) and rural (Karonga) Malawi 🇲🇼

Jane Goodall died today. While smarter and more informed people will talk about her work, I want to share a snippet from her Wikipedia page - the two greatest paragraphs ever on Wikipedia. The first parts are amusing and interesting, but the last sentence elevates it to high art.

New Research: International healthcare workers report on war related injuries among civilians in Gaza

Findings suggest patterns of harm that exceed those reported in previous modern day conflicts

[Outbreak News Today @bactiman63]

#France
As of August 26, 2025, 228 indigenous #chikungunya cases have been reported.

In addition, 15 Local #Dengue fever cases have been reported.

They are located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Corsica, Occitanie, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, already affected in previous years, and for the first time in Grand Est, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

The growing number of transmission hotspots confirms the increased risk of indigenous transmission of these viruses in mainland France. Other cases will likely be identified, including outside the usual transmission areas.

15 human cases of vector-borne #WestNilevirus infection have been identified in five departments in mainland France.

The affected regions are the PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur) region, Occitanie (Occitanie), and, for the first time, Île-de-France (Île-de-France).

@EdinburghTrams No they aren’t. Just had to wait for over twenty minutes with no announcements, then a tram went past ocean terminal without stopping before we were finally able to get on one. Missed my train now. What’s going on?

🚨Are we overestimating viral immunity in people with HIV?🚨
In our new study, we found that a widely used lab test might give false positives for people with HIV who are on certain types of medication (integrase inhibitors)
Here’s what we found 🧵1/n

[Antonia Ho @DrToniHo]

🚨New paper 🚨

In 2 cohorts:
1) Malawi community cohort
2) UK adults with acute HCV

We found overestimation of neutralising abs using retrovirus-based pseudotyped assays in persons receiving integrase inhibitors, e.g. dolutegravir.

@AngelaRayner How many years, Angela, before you will say that you mark the anniversary of the deaths in Gaza, when over 50k? 60k? predominantly Muslim men, women and children were killed?

[Dr Sumi Manirajan @sumitriptan]

I graduated as a doctor 4 years ago with ~£100k of debt, and despite working up to 72 hours a week, my debt has only increased.

Doctors are being paid £17/hour and have to make loan repayments and pay thousands for exams and fees.

We are only asking for £23/hour.
