AI-assisted coding directly inside your R session? Yes, it’s possible.

With the gander package, you can interact with AI without leaving R.

Set up your environment, connect your API key (for example, ChatGPT or Claude), and start writing prompts.

Why use gander:

🔹 Stay focused without switching tools
🔹 Speed up repetitive coding tasks
🔹 Get immediate feedback on your code and questions
🔹 Keep everything in one consistent environment
🔹 Work directly with your current R objects and data

The visualization below shows an example of a gander workflow: setting up the package, creating a heatmap with ggplot2, adjusting the colors, and making the result interactive with plotly, all through gander prompts and without writing the code yourself.

As we mark #WorldSickleCellDay2026, we join the call to close the survival gap through equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care. As George Mochamah highlights, every patient deserves equitable access to effective treatment to improve the quality of their lives. #ClosingTheSurvivalGap #SickleCellDisease #WSCD2026

Protecting babies starts before birth, and RSV awareness is key.
Dr Joyce Nyiro unpacked the burden of RSV and how maternal immunization can be a game-changer in preventing severe infant infections. With an RSV vaccine roll-out on the horizon, now is the time to build awareness, trust, and readiness.

🚨 A new piece of the preterm gut microbiome puzzle just fell into place!

Bifidobacterium metabolise human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in early life — shaping immunity, supporting gut development, and protecting against diseases like necrotising enterocolitis (NEC).

Early diagnosis leads to better management, an improved quality of life, and reduced risks. Let’s break the silence and ensure women receive the diagnosis and care they deserve.

[Timothy Onyinge @timothy_onyinge]

Haemophilia is often seen as a condition mainly affecting men, but women can and do live with it, too. Unfortunately, many women face underdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, or delayed diagnosis, which can put them at risk of serious health issues.

[Timothy Onyinge @timothy_onyinge]

Unexplained bleeding, easy bruising, or prolonged bleeding after minor procedures should never be ignored. Early detection makes a huge difference.

👉 Take action today: Make regular testing part of your health routine.

The composition of the human gut microbiome is related to oral antibiotics used by the host 4-8 years earlier.

This is the conclusion of our new study in about 15000 individuals living in Sweden and published in @NatureMedicine 🧵

Living with haemophilia is not the end of the road. With proper diagnosis, access to treatment, and the right support system, people with haemophilia can live active and fulfilling lives. Raising awareness helps ensure more people understand the condition

✅ Early diagnosis and proper care can greatly improve quality of life. If you notice these symptoms, seek medical advice from a healthcare professional.

Bleeding that doesn’t stop easily could be a sign of Haemophilia — a genetic bleeding disorder that affects the body’s ability to clot blood properly. Recognizing the symptoms early can help individuals receive the care and treatment they need.

🧬Curious about the state of malaria drug resistance in Kenya?
Our 10-year nationwide study shows first-line malaria treatments remain effective in Kenya but early resistance signals highlight need for routine molecular surveillance, monitoring emerging markers & data-informed treatment policy.

Today in @NatureMedicine we report that AI can predict 130 diseases from 1 night of sleep🛌

We trained a foundation model (#SleepFM) on 585K hours of sleep recordings from 65K people—brain, heart, muscle & breathing signals combined.

AI learns the language of sleep🧵

Catalog of human oral microbiome:
Human reference oral microbiome (HROM) comprises 72,641 genomes from 3,426 species, including 2,019 novel species. HROM reveals disease-assoc. species & ectopic oral species in the gut predictive of systemic diseases
