People in boots, motorcycles, and trucks try to move forward on a dirt road that has turned to a thick mud.

This is the only road to Kamituga, the epicenter of the mpox epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Now imagine having to transport vaccines this way. (And not having nearly enough doses in the first place.)

Lots of poster presentations from colleagues today at the last ever St George’s Research Day (before we become City St George’s).🛡️🐉 Great to see people interested in Mary Kyohere’s work w/ influencers in Uganda raising awareness around maternal vaccination, as well as everything else the team does.

I needed to see this having just left work at 7pm ravenous, having eaten only one (1) bagel today

Nice, this works. Is assessment now becoming a bit like the CAPTCHA arms race?

If exam questions have to become ever more cryptic so that students can prove that they are human, I worry though that issues will crop up around learning styles and fairness to neurodivergent +/or international students

What does it feel like to be a mouse? 🐁 Just one Q from yesterday’s interesting @rspcaoffficial.bsky.social forum for Animal Welfare Ethical Review Body members.

Had productive chats w/ other members on lots of topics, including human + animal research ethics + what each can learn from the other.

Your cat is very lovely, but your cat’s assessment of my work is giving me anxiety!
