I should be qualified to comment on the covid-19 pandemic. I'm a computational/system biologist working on infectious diseases and have spent five years in a world class 'pandemic response modelling' unit. In this thread, I will summarise what I believe I (don't) know. (1/12)
From a 1000 DNA oligos @ChemCambridge laser lab to a 100 000 genomes @GenomicsEngland, via hard work, clever folk, Solexa Ltd, VC backing and scaling by @Illumina . Congrats to Shankar and David!
Stoked to have Rafal Klajn (@rafalklajn) giving a lecture as part of his uk tour for winning the @ChemSocRev Emerging Investigator Award. Come to the School of Chemistry theatre X1 on Wednesday at 3 pm!

Pleased to be the new supramolecular associate editor @ChemicalScience. Look forward to handling your outstanding papers over the next few years! Happy to hear suggestions how we can develop the journal. I’m at #ISMSC2018 if you want to grab me in person https://t.co/31VYW5xqhs
"Science is intensely competitive. But is this always a good thing? If people are constantly stressed, they don’t get the time and space they need for reflection." Meet Jeremy Baumberg, the nanoscientist with a love for colour and clocks. https://t.co/DSUGJZhHhn
I’ve learnt that the Rolls Royce of scientific publishing, Nature Research, has opened an editorial office in Berlin w/ 30 editors, some fleeing London due to the madness of #brexit. Science is already on the run from a bastion of excellence. The EU’s gain is the UK’s loss. Ugh!
