NEW: first thread of 2022 is an Omicron situation update, starting with a detailed look at UK hospitals, before going international. Let’s start with severity, and the most important chart: Despite steep rises in cases and patients, the number on ventilators has barely risen.

Remember all that media noise about #omicron hospitalizing young kids with severe covid? This paper concludes: “Risks for severe clinical outcomes in children infected with Omicron variant were significantly lower than those in the matched Delta cohort”👇 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Our paper on hospitalizations in kids with a +ve #SARSCoV2 test at a large London tertiary hospital during the alpha, delta & omicron waves is now published in a peer-reviewed medical journal Only 10% of the hospitalizations were for severe #COVID19 👉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to announce our latest COVID-19 paper on virus transmission in kids with Yanshan Asha Bowen Janessa Pickering medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am getting attached to this amazing team🥰. I appreciated everyone’s kindness and look forward to more cooperation in the future❤️

Excited to announce the publication of our latest paper looking at SARS-CoV-2 infection in kids (journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…) with Yanshan Asha Bowen UQ News telethonkids QUT Centre for Immunology & Infection Control and so many more amazing collaborators! See below for tweetorial 😊

Join us this afternoon for another exciting seminar on the Infection and Immunity research theme at UQ Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences hosted by Dr Andrii Slonchak Tune in to learn about the latest research of SCMB ECRs on a novel #antimicrobial, l-complex #plasmids and #COVID19 in children!

Excellent example of importance of basic research. Katalin Kariko is currently an adjunct professor, who has struggled getting her research funded. She was previously demoted because of lack of research funding and “skepticism over her work”. Congratulations! 🥇

So excited to announce our latest paper published in Lancet Microbe showing that machine learning can be used to forward predict the risk of secondary bacterial infections in COVID-19 patients thelancet.com/journals/lanmi… Please retweet far and wide!

#InternationalWomensDay – Women are still only 27% of STEM workers in Australia, but more women are studying STEM at university. From 2015 to 2021, women’s enrolment in STEM courses grew by 31%. Representation matters. 📈

Congrats!!! My great great role model ❤️🥳

That is super excited!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🥳

Delighted to have just published this article with the amazing Meagan Carney (UQ News UQ Science ) along with Julian Sng Yanshan and others combining maths with experimental virology.....interdisciplinary work all the way! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
