Thanks for listening and for this input. I don't know enough re. WikiGuidelines (not an excuse, just a sad fact 😔) & agree we could have gone more outside the usual structures... Was recently talking w/ @dremilymcd.bsky.social about Wiki & am curious to learn more about the whole concept.

Single-cell and spatial profiling highlights TB-induced myofibroblasts as drivers of lung pathology Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics of human TB lung tissues from individuals in South Africa revealed that MMP1+CXCL5+ fibroblasts and SPP1+ macrophag

Played a small part in this cool study @jem.org.

Identifies myofibroblasts as sources of tissue damaging enzymes (MMP1) in TB granuloma, probably responding to cytokine cues from nearby macrophages.

Question now is: can we target therapeutically to prevent post-TB lung damage?

The Slow Science Movement advocates for a more thoughtful, sustainable approach to research that values quality over quantity and depth over speed.

It sounds trivial, but if you are an active researcher you know it is not.

🙏🏼🙏🏼 @iainabbott.bsky.social for bringing us to the #Alfred Melbourne to build a collaborative UTI platform
He is inclusive: pts, microbiologists/immuno, pharm, ID docs/GPs, trialists (super⭐ Aussies)

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

A big thank you to @steventong.bsky.social, @trubianojason.bsky.social & the hugely impressive team at @thedohertyinst.bsky.social for a morning of fascinating research presentations & an afternoon/evening of thoughtful discussions. Open-minded, creative ID thinkers to be inspired by. 🤩🤩🤩
