Excited to share our pre-print studying spinal cord regeneration, a @Tanaxolotl collaboration with Emanuel and @Osvaldo_Chara. We generated FUCCI transgenic axolotls to visualise cell cycles in vivo and modelled the establishment of the regenerative zone: https://t.co/qEdWZ5sFWo
The Imperial report on the new UK B117 strain is out. Very concerning findings, that highlight why we need to act on this *now*. These findings suggest that the situation within the UK is likely to get much worse than it is now. Here's why-

THREAD: From today onwards, @TheEconomist will be tracking excess mortality from covid-19 in as many countries as possible. We have published interactive charts for six countries that have released this data. (1/14) https://t.co/v3x8RZRoCX

That's what HK is doing now. If you're a close contact, you are taken to a quarantine centre right away, regardless of test. You might wonder how to get enough space for such centres. But remember if HK can get enough space, then it's not an excuse for anywhere else in the world
FOUR thing we must do: 1. Test widely. That means every person in the country with pneumonia, every sick health care worker, every person in nursing homes, all contacts with symptoms (and maybe some without), all patients in clusters that could be #COVID19, and more.
"When historians tally up the many missteps policymakers have made in the response to the coronavirus pandemic, the senseless and unscientific push for the general public not to wear masks should be near the top."
We've waited too long. But we can do this outselves.
#masks4all
The Czech Republic went from zero mask usage to 100% in 10 days, and in the process they halted the growth of new covid-19 cases.
How? They made their own! They didn't need government help; they did it themselves.
It's time for #masks4all. See why:
