I'm a PhD student at University of Oxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-) Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!

Today I had the pleasure of presenting my DPhil project on host-pathogen interactions of henipaviruses at the Pandemic Sciences Institute Nipah Virus Research Day. Thanks to everyone at Carroll Lab and all of our collaborators for their support! #nipah #immunology #henipavirus

"A new requirement" that further raises the onerrous burdens of applying for research funding and, ironically, likely increasing the inequality in who is funded to do research (will further concentrate funding in well resourced entities).

Influenza going up in the UK. For those involved in the RECOVERY trial of influenza treatments - please try to enrol patients. If this season is short and sharp, we will have a limited time window for recruitment.

Extraordinary: Raoult’s damaging paper on hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 finally retracted. So grateful to all the people who helped with the RECOVERY trial, allowing us to debunk the myth of hydroxychloroquine for severe COVID-19 science.org/content/articl…

An extraordinarily strong lesson on the importance of good science, critical thinking, and being truly objective. The damage done to trust and to patients by the hydroxycholoroquine debacle should never be repeated. Would love to know the reasons for retraction.

Controversial COVID study that promoted unproven treatment retracted after four-year saga nature.com/articles/d4158… Ironic that the co-authors complain they were “victims of cyber-harassment” - they should try being on the receiving end of HCQ believers, including Raoult himself.

Marburg raises its head again: so soon after Rwanda outbreak. There are no approved treatments or vaccines for Marburg - from each outbreak we need to incrementally gather the data we need for effective control and treatment.

As #Tanzania responds to the confirmed outbreak of #Marburg virus disease, World Health Organization (WHO) is working closely with the national health authorities to reinforce control measures to halt the outbreak as soon as possible and protect the health of the population. afro.who.int/countries/unit…

There seem to be THREE simultaneous filovirus outbreaks - Marburg in Tanzania, Ebola in DRC (most likely culprit Zaire Ebolavirus) and Sudan Ebolavirus in Uganda. We need adequately funded public health and research and development programmes and support.
