Your guess?

Interesting study on antifungal treatment duration for invasive mild diseases. Definitely an untold story; in many cases in low resource settings, the story never begins for lack of access in terms of availability and cost.

Fantastic landmark #PAMWG meeting of MMSN in Nairobi showcasing African mycology work and next steps. Many congratulations to the undisputed Queen of Mycology Rita Oladele & the other wonderful organisers. #EndCryptoDeaths

Yahaya Mohammed MMSN Rita Oladele NIFUSCAB Great work

We'd like to believe they won't! Still a lot of work to do understanding fungi and equitably arming humanity to counter them.

The good side of fungi

Following the successful inauguration of the Pan-African Medical Mycology Group of ISHAM in 2019 during the 1st International Conference of MMSN.COVID-19 among other challenges has since thwarted efforts of having this meeting

The wait is over and 👀 forward to it😍
