TBH the thing that is most sad about the loss of ~2015-2021 era science twitter is the loss of a public square where grad students can see, and participate in, the diversity of expert opinions in the field. It really shaped how I see science.

Integrating measles wastewater and clinical whole-genome sequencing enables high-resolution tracking of virus evolution and transmission Measles outbreaks have surged globally in recent years, but current surveillance systems have limited capacity to monitor measles virus (MeV) transmission and evolution at population scale. Although M...

New preprint from our Gates-funded Modjadji initiative showing that whole-genome surveillance of measles virus from wastewater greatly expands our ability for monitoring and control.

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

this stuff is so funny, truly. tech has created a genie that will grant unlimited wishes but randomly fulfills them in disastrous ways.

The woman is apparently the director of AI safety at Meta, and she couldn’t stop it.

Only tangentially related, but how do you feel about point of care pharmacogenomic testing e.g. m1555A>G variant & aminoglycoside-induced deafness in neonates?

Dear @ria.ie,

I have lost access to your invaluable Dictionary of Irish Biography.

According to the website firewall 'Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator'.

I happen to live in Mexico (the banned country) and to do research that will be severely hindered by this.

yeah, sure.

LOST CAT! Milo has gone missing from Seapark apts on Mount Prospect Ave in #Clontarf. He’s an indoor cat and still quite young so he’s probably pretty scared. Please let me know if you spot him hiding somewhere in the area. Thanks so much!

This is in Dublin, Ireland btw.

@marionmcgarry.bsky.social 👆Great paper. Marion will be happy to see it in the wild!

Deepak Chopra wrote to Epstein: “Come to Israel with us. Relax & have fun with interesting people. If you want use a fake name. Bring your girls. It will be fun to have you.”

In 2024 NHS staff reported working unpaid overtime equivalent to at least 49 000 full time employees.

A BMJ data analysis finds this discretionary effort, which has long underpinned NHS service delivery, is declining. What does this mean for workforce planning?

More than 70 kids have died from this season's flu and most were not vaccinated. The vaccine can mean the difference between life and death. Get vaxxed yourself to keep it from spreading. I had the flu but it was a couple days of sniffles and night of fever, thanks to the flu shot! 🩺 #MedSky
