The first Report from the Covid Inquiry has been issued this morning covering Module 1 on pandemic preparedness and resilience. Download it here. covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl…

The UK Covid Public Inquiry has published its first Report, on Resilience and Preparedness. It is the most urgent report, as we are still ill-prepared for the next pandemic. 🧵

Have to say, the covid inquiry really helps with a lot of the gaslighting that was going on in the earlier stages of the pandemic. Some things were so obvious at the time but many of us got flak for pointing then out. It's good to hear from other parties about this.

Looking for the latest interdisciplinary review on long covid? Excellent synthesis of a rapidly moving field, where we now know a lot more than is often acknowlwdged.

I'd like to think it isn't a lost cause; join a union and more importantly organise. timeshighereducation.com/news/improving…

I'd like to say these far right riots come as a surprise, but this has been bubbling under, and been variously tolerated, normalised and stoked for years. This is the time for zero tolerance for them.

So let me get this straight. Twitter is in dispute with the UK?

I stand with everyone who has been made to feel unwelcome and fearful as a result of these coordinated far right riots. They are few, and are trying hard to make their presence felt but they won't succeed.

What can cloud computing bring to the discovery of novel EVEs in vertebrate genomes? Rather a lot, really happy to share this work with @josegabrielnb: rdcu.be/dXF4A

“The discovery of otherwise animal infecting viruses in plants indicated that we may need to survey plants more extensively to understand the origins of animal viruses as well” great work by @josegabrielnb and Aris Katzourakis! nature.com/articles/s4156…
