See also our preprint that shows no evidence of #SARSCoV2 in Sunda pangolins before they enter the wildlife trade pipeline.
Yet they are flagged as a putative intermediate host on the basis of findings in a handful of wretched animals deep in the trade ..

This image of the Dutch prime minister shows what the Bicycle is all about: easily and safely biking to work, while nonchalantly eating an apple. That's what millions of Dutch people do daily, regardless their social class or income. 🚲

Did you know 3.5 billion people still don’t have access to the web? And, based on current trends, it will be past 2050 before they do?

We need an all-out push to get the world connected and close the #DigitalDivide.

Learning how to read & write should be a significant milestone for everyone. But, millions of adults & youth lack basic literacy skills.

On Tuesday's #LiteracyDay, join @UNESCO to help promote literacy & learning for all: https://t.co/9y15vOds2w

In the current higher education context #OER and #OpenEducation are essential for South Africa. According to @DrBladeNzimande “We have to think about sharing learning and teaching materials and support the OER movement. We have to share infrastructure, expertise and systems.”

[Denise Nicholson @DeniseNicholson]

@jakoli4 @DrBladeNzimande Minister Nzimande is correct but then he must support the Copyright Amendment Bill that facilitates open access & OERs & ensure that Parliament sees its importance & approves it once again.

How can the public and private sectors and civil society work together to bring more people online?

1) Reduce taxes on low-cost handsets
2) Give subsidies for those least able to buy
3) Reduce upfront cost via microfinance and other payment options https://t.co/Ib7WefEDZe

[Internet Hall of Fame @Internet_HOF]

A mobile device used to be a luxury; it is now the cheapest way to access the Internet. But for billions of people around the world, they are still too expensive. Now, more than ever, we need to make them more accessible. @A4A_Internet @webfoundation.
