Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence. Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

1⃣ Effective collaboration is vital for #GlobalHealth. This week, in a symbolic handover from Peter Piot to Liam Smeeth as our Director, we're celebrating our global partnerships. Hear from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dr Matshidiso Moeti & many more on Wednesday at 11:00 BST 👉 bit.ly/3qCO6xZ

Not me getting emotional watching London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine’s handover from Peter Piot as Director, hearing from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Bill Gates, Professor Chris Whitty, Anita Zaidi, Jeremy Farrar and many other greats🌟 I feel honoured to have met Peter while at #LSHTM, thank you for your great work. #LSHTMalumni

A massive congrats to Nila.Johnson - friend, flatmate and now published author 🥳🎉 Check it out to learn about post-translational modifications in #plasmodium 🦠🦟

It’s amazing to see Charity Kase using her platform on RuPaul's Drag Race UK to educate people on the reality of HIV today. It’s so important to know the facts on HIV and challenge attitudes towards the virus that are stuck in the 1980s. HIV has changed. Tell Everyone. #DragRaceUK

I think there's perhaps been some confusion regarding transmissibility vs immune escape in Omicron. The apparent rapid increase in frequency of Omicron in Gauteng does not mean that Omicron is necessarily more intrinsically transmissible than Delta. 1/15

Today is #WorldAIDSDay! You will NOT get #HIV from: ✅ standing by your friend ✅ drinking tea together ✅ hugging ✅ shaking hands ✅ showing that you care This is how you can reduce your risk of getting it ⬇️

It’s my first time doing #AdventOfCode (adventofcode.com/2021/day/1) and I’m equal parts amazed at how many options are out there to get to the same answer and shocked at how unnecessarily convoluted my so called #Rstats “coding” is… a girl should really know that diff() exists🤦🏼‍♀️🎄

Super proud of my PhD big sister, now Dr Heather E Grant🎉

Me and Maurice Nagington 🏳️‍🌈💃☮️ spent the last two years understanding what #HIV teaches us about #COVID-19. As more and more people talk about gay men and #monkeypox, we ask: 🌈Is #Monkeypox the new gay virus? 🐒What can HIV teach us about #Monkeypox? 🧵

First day of #HumanViruses wrapped up @UCSanDiegoCME
