Being diagnosed with a chronic illness is like being handed a full time job that you never applied for and can never quit.

@nicolesoranzo 😢 sorry to hear that Nicole. Hope it stays mild and you feel much better soon! 🤞

The next few days will tell us a lot on Omicron and hospital admissions, but they won’t tell us anything on Omicron and #LongCovid. The chronic implications of such phenomenal infection numbers could be unbearable. But variant/vaccines/previous infection could make them bearable.

@EsteeTorok @SerenaNikZainal @Cambridge_Uni Huge congratulations @SerenaNikZainal, what wonderful news!! 😍😍

After advising PhD & Master students for over a decade, there is one thing I find most students need to unlearn: the half-ass work mentality acquired during years of tests and homework. Let me explain (thread 🧵). 1/N #AcademicTwitter

This is an incredible match to witness, not only because it has been a stunning match so far but it is such a first for female Grand Slam history in terms of ethnic diversity. My mixed European/Asian heart is very happy right now 😍 #USOpen

I do enjoy fantasy but this might be too far 😂

Imagine if @BorisJohnson had simply said:

“I’m not going to force you to wear masks on public transport & in shops, but I *do* recommend it. Because not everyone is vaccinated yet; cases are sky high; & I care about the vulnerable & immunosuppressed.”

Imagine.

Letting a virus rip through a partially vaccinated population is exactly the experiment I’d do to evolve a virus able to evade immunity

#WhitePrivilege doesn’t mean you’ve never faced hardship or challenges. It just means that the hardship or challenges you faced were not related to your skin colour.

Did you know capsaicin, the compound in chili’s that gives them their heat, reduces pain, inflammation, and soften mucus? This is why it helps congestion!
