No the science has not shifted. The evidence has been clear for weeks (I only noticed how disastrous the GOV.UK policy was at the end of last week, but could have told them at least a month ago). It is time to stop massaging headlines and get down to the real work

Absolutely... and all possible because of many decades of basic research; not just work on the pathogen in the here and now. An important (though unwelcome) reminder why science is so important to humanity.

Classical contact tracing and isolating symptomatic individuals will not be sufficient to suppress #covid19. Instant contact tracing via a mobile app would make it possible. Test our assumptions in our #rstats #shiny app bdi-pathogens.shinyapps.io/covid-19-trans…

A powerful message 🦠 #ActuallyStayHome

This is stark

This is the current scene next to the plinth on which Colston’s statue stood until earlier today.

“Maximum suppression of this virus is the optimal strategy.” Professor Devi Sridhar explains why she believes herd immunity is not an “appropriate way forward” in tackling #COVID19. Get more on the latest restrictions: trib.al/B7cn1Xx

A powerful image that may become iconic. It will be interesting to watch how history unfolds over the next years in the UK.

Just two soon-to-be 96 year olds, sharing a joke about trees. Thanks ITV News & Jay O'Brien for this magical clip ❤️

Unpopular opinion: Hybrid conferences should be here to stay. This is an inclusivity and accessibility issue, particularly for attendees from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). 🧵1/11

Yesterday, our new study showing the prevalence and immune evasion properties of the K1 capsule, one of the major virulence factors in E. coli came out in Nature Communications rdcu.be/deGKg

We are very proud of this work which is a truly team effort combining bioinformatics and lab assays J_Gamma Dr. Rebecca Gladstone @gerrythill Harry Thorpe @Orjan_Samuelsen @Paal_Johnsen
