In the summer of ‘97 a very kind virology professor took in a green-eared 1st year undergrad asking to sweep benches to learn about lab life. #ESCMIDGlobal #ID

I really want the science comms colleagues to emphasise that neurological damage in H5N1+ cats was ABSENT in cows. We have no idea how this will play out in humans, other than the data on the zoonoses that occurred in the past few years… which did not have neuro damage!!!!

From the department of the bleeding obvious: raw unpasteurised milk is bad for you - and now with a risk of H5N1 flu. I’d argue for aerosol protection and PPE in dairy farms and dairy factories at this point.

Innovation starts with patient need 💯 #ris2024 And in #CysticFibrosis we need more work on dealing with the pathogens and understanding colonisation vs infection

#RIS2024 - lack of funding is slowing down innovation for rare disease. Investors down fund out of compassion. If you solve the rare you can cure the common. Government can help. I wonder, would reimbursing organisations benefit from innovation through reduced cost?

1/ Wastewater data shows evidence* of #H5N1 in 5 US states over the past month! Testing at 180 US sites found no evidence for the virus. How does this compare to states w/ known dairy cattle and poultry infections? A 🧵 Brennan Klein Moritz Kraemer Global.health Verily WastewaterSCAN

Great public health effort but the monitoring looks for H5 only. Given the current risk from H5N1, upgrading the monitoring is essential.

Interesting to see the terms nebulisation (aerosol generation) and aerosolisation (aerosol suspension period) to be used by the aerosol community - when the biomedical/virology community still conflate the terms (and still can’t get their head around droplets vs aerosols).

Exhaled aerosol acidification, virus spike protein evolution which affects pH susceptibility & consequently endosomal stability altering upper vs lower airway infection means one simple thing: we must rely on blocking BOTH fomites & aeorosols. It’s not one or the other.

🔥 Researchers have discovered a hidden talent of mast cells: they can capture and use another type of immune cell called neutrophils. This surprising discovery sheds new light on how our immune system works, particularly during allergic reactions. 1/
