Great day with the team from Udayana University, training them in molecular diagnostics for #SoilTransmittedHelminths working with Professor Don Stewart and Darren Gray on a project marrying science and the arts to prevent childhood infections QIMR Berghofer Griffith University

Catturd is correct, which is why I worked so hard in the 2000s to provide tens of millions of people access to ivermectin for treatment of lymphatic filariaisis, onchocerciasis (river blindness), scabies, and strongyloidiasis (papers attached): But it does nothing for Covid

Wonderful and productive workshop in Darwin with our many collaborators including invaluable Yolngu and Miwatj Health team members for the NHMRC Synergy Grant on setting the platform for elimination of Strongyloidiasis in Australia headed by Darren Gray QIMR Berghofer
