Look mum, I contributed a tiny bit to human scientific knowledge! 🥳 My first ever first author paper is now available from PLOS Biology: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… TLDR: Influenza viruses do battle and exclude each other from cells, consequences for within-host viral evolution !

#OneLessWorry | Today is #HPVAwarenessDay Research at the CVR aims to improve HPV screening to risk-stratify cervical disease. 🧵 Read this thread to learn about the new grant awarded to Prof. Sheila Graham You can also read our blog for more detail 👉 cvr-engagement.co.uk/hpv-blog
