New paper out 💥💥💥 Ecological countermeasures are our first line of defense (primary prevention) against the next pandemic! Glad to see this out! My favorite collaboration yet - something about senior authors creating a climate for all to contribute to the writing process.

You just gotta love Biochemistry, to be honest. So intricate and delicate. The deep science.

HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections continue as significant public health challenges globally cause 2.5 million deaths each year: New WHO report bit.ly/44SGLyp

Scientists have managed to generate a full genetic sequence of #H5N1 #birdflu from store-bought milk, suggesting commercial milk products could be a way to monitor the outbreak in cows, given the lack of cooperation from dairy farmers. statnews.com/2024/05/21/bir…

I made my first zine today!!!!!!! I’m so excited! I have an idea to harness this for sci comm and stem advocacy.

List of non-insta tweets... 🤯 ...3 papers...

...and 3 preprints.

1. We exposed how international mobility and geographical differences in travel restrictions, lockdowns, genomic surveillance determined the invasion of the Alpha variant in Europe. Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146……

2. New paper in Nature Communications where, using a phylogeographic approach, we provide evidence for air travel governing the global patterns of RSVA and RSVB spread. nature.com/articles/s4146… By Annefleur C. Langedijk et al.

If you work on pandemics, global health security, disease ecology, or conservation, I hope you'll read and share our new preprint. 👇 (Or, just take this statistic: For every hour you travel from a clinic, the lifetime odds of detecting an outbreak goes down by one third.)

Thank you, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, for enabling Mahmoud Bukar Maina PhD FRSA lead our efforts in democratizing access to technologies for #ImagingTheFuture. Our mission is to enable #African scientists ask and address ambitious scientific questions right here on the continent 🌍🔬
