Today we partnered with The Invention Rooms - Imperial College to teach local children about fungi. We discussed what fungi look like, where they can be found and how they form networks. Would you join a similar event in the future? #SciComm #scienceoutreach #Fungi #ScienceComunication #science


ERS CRCs have highlighted 13 abstracts to be presented at Congress 2024. BEAT-PCD (ERS CRC) will present ‘The international registry for primary ciliary dyskinesia reveals regional variation of genotypes & significant genotype-phenotype correlations’. More info: k4.ersnet.org/prod/v2/Front/…


Asthma: Moderate/high dose inhaled steroids - uncommonly - cause CVD, pneumonia and PEs. V difficult study to do to avoid bias. Required 2 large datasets and multiple different studies. Patients should only get the ICS dose they need! Professor Azeem Majeed atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

First participants recruited into the INCAS study at MFT Research and Innovation ! Randomised trial of interferon gamma in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.
