Infectious Diseases doctor (at UCLH) and academic (at UCL). Research focuses on immune responses to TB and leprosy, but I'm also involved in too many other projects I probably shouldn't be...
Hard enough to work out how to fit in grant deadlines, we now also have to decide on which grants to apply for based on the day of decision too! 😅
Thank you. It's fine, comes with the territory, win some, lose some. But no matter how many times it happens, rejection still stings! 😖
He's flying, literally!
Legend!
This looks a cool educational tool

Interesting layout. That crescent has shades of Sochi!
Quite a bit of truth in there. University should be about students being exposed to and exploring open thinking. AI gives the illusion to many that this is not needed, and also negates student assessments that previously allowed these skills to flourish. #AI #AcademicSky
Bit sad but sadly true 😔
Antimicrobial resistance - #AMR - is no longer a ‘silent pandemic.’ It's reversing decades of progress in safeguarding health in Asia-Pacific.
Drug-resistant infections are making common illnesses harder and more expensive to treat, including #tuberculosis, one of the world’s leading killers.

Sorry for late getting back to you, but thank you for the additional explanation. This is very cool and great progress. Look forward to seeing the JCI insight paper!
@tb-lshtm.bsky.social amazing #StudentAmbassadors 2025-26 highlight why everyone interested in TB should join us for these two amazing events marking #WTBD2026

Surely this will come back to bite him
Sex & gender in Infection... its complicated!!!
Such a pleasure to host these guests alongside @erinmccreary.bsky.social

Hopefully yes. It should also make things a bit simpler to follow. I still find the current graphics with the greens and reds for each sector, a bit confusing. Also because there seems to be a delay when a time is set and the ranking updated. This may be on me, admittedly!
Important and interesting article.
#AI agents can be brilliant at integrating and pulling in data. But they also have limitations. It takes humans to spot these issues and / or... as in this case, to do the job properly.
Since today is #InternationalWomensDay, I thought I’d share the #AndColossallyThatsHistory podcast that Richard Williams & I recorded last year on the fascinating subject of the history of female racing drivers. It’s quite a tale. Click below to listen.

Only caught last 50 laps, that was entertaining enough. Good job!
Love this. Big computational gains by maximising the use of existing hardware.
Ha, that is certainly unusual to give a talk wearing a white coat. And also interesting view form the front. Almost intimidating with all the lab benches as the audience!
Out Now! Spatial transcriptomics maps host–gut microbiome biogeography at high resolution #MicroSky
Interesting editorial on the mixed bag of using AI in research and scientific communication. Nice touch to launch on a turgid AI summary of the theme for illustrative purposes. 😉 #MicroSky #AcademicSky
📣 New CLARITY articles by Erin McCreary, PharmD & Ahmad Mourad are out to help us understand the GAMECHANGER trial & #cefiderocol The first notes a mortality signal among metallo-β-lactamase–producing infections... #IDSky #clinmicro https://ow.ly/GAqx50Yq6uh
Yeah, super impressive!
Ah yes, I've seen that too. The tarmac replacement patches. Totally not in keeping, but presumably cheaper.
Must be so depressing to know current F1 season is already a just a glorified big test session for 2027!
I love the scenery in this photo. The opposite of today's commercial lined walls and gravel etc. This just looks they're driving F1 cars on roads between fields!
On his day, Fisichella was great!
Agree that wasn't totally clear to me either
