Spot the difference.... delighted to take part in an interview on BBC breakfast this morning with my colleague. We are both Professors and Consultant ENT surgeons.....why don’t we get treated in the same way? #untitling #unconcious bias

using a slow week in the lab to take a great science communication + public engagement course from FutureLearn lots of aspects of science communication I had no inkling of + this article was super informative🤓 thanks @SarahEMyhre medium.com/literate-scien… #ScienceComm

"I'm an epidemiologist. I'll be glad to get whatever vaccine I'm offered" theguardian.com/commentisfree/… "It’s really something of a scientific miracle." Agree, #COVID vaccines are like the f-ing moon landing! (And, um, yes. That was real too.) Let's celebrate! #ScienceUpFirst

cool beans 🥸

go girl 🥳🥳🥳

🤗great stuff Jenny Wilshaw it should be mandatory for all studies to involve high quality puns like this 😆

Great workshop this afternoon on text mining from news and tweets at #SVEPM2021 🤓🤓 what a great start to the conference!! thank you SVEPM Cirad

I had a great time presenting some of the work from my phd today at #SVEPM2021 🙃 we looked at the #spatialepidemiology of #leptospirosis in dogs in GB with #SaTScan and #EcologicalNicheModels 🤓 VEEPH LIDo SVEPM #epitwitter

Unfortunate use of “Indian variant” on Thought for the Day BBC Radio 4 Today - naming viruses by people, by location, an area, a country is unhelpful, stigmatise, can cause critical delays in reporting & sharing data.

exciting day!! here's the first paper from my PhD work looking at incidence and risk factors of canine leptospirosis in the UK 😊 we identified: -> a low incidence in UK first-opinion practice dogs -> breed, age and location risk factors for diagnosis Vet Record #epidemiology

papers are truly like buses!🚍 here is the *second* 🥳paper out of my phd. we explored the distribution of leptospirosis 🗺️ and its agroecological risk factors 🐴🐮🐷 in dogs in GB. VEEPH Royal Veterinary College (RVC) LIDo sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
