42.5% asymptomatic cases suggest that wearing masks is key. Cant 'stay home when sick' if you don't know you are sick.

Its a shame Tegnell is on vacation. I would have liked to see him dismiss these new findings like usual.

Way to go Nikki Phair! Looks super cool!

Um, I'm only a cow geneticist, but...

An interesting read which points out a distinct research gap in Africa, for assessing the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides. #insectresearch #scienceafrica
Europe has banned neonicotinoid insecticides. Action is needed in Africa too theconversation.com/europe-has-ban… via The Conversation Africa

Congrats to David Phair for defending his PhD today at Stellenbosch University @matiesstudents! An amazing achievement and so much dedication and hard work over the years. Follow David Phair and see his over-enthusiasm for #ants and #social #immunity ⭐️

A great way to start the new year is with a paper in press - our latest paper (with Nikki Phair ToBo Lab), shows that anthropogenic pressures such as habitat loss can drive declining genomic diversity in seagrasses. bit.ly/2QB4Fdu Elsevier Environment ProjectSeastore

Such a cutie! I hope he stays and keeps the veg clear of other critters

Such strong #WomenInSTEM Faculty of Science in #SouthAfrica . Very lucky to be working with this awesome group of women #!

Our Sophie von der Heyden Honours students rocked it today at our Annual Research Meeting!! I have no doubt you will all go on to do BIG things! #TheKidsAreAlright Jessie Yuill Michelle Maberly

THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING HISTORY! This week we've created an #AfricaneDNA network, and we're starting a regional conversation that will grow and grow into the future. Please do share with all your contacts who are working on eDNA in the African region, and join our network!

If I didn’t have to write up my own data I would be jumping on this PhD in a flash! Living in Edinburgh, working on an amazing system in the wilderness and getting to work with Susan Johnston, whose work I greatly admire. 🐏🐑

Hello #eDNA #metabarcoding folks: Has anyone used Mag-Bind® TotalPure NGS for their #PCR bead cleanup, or have any thoughts on it? I'm wondering how good the DNA recovery is, it looks great on the spec docs... #PhDchat #PhDlife #sciencetwitter #molecular omegabiotek.com/wp-content/upl…

Looking for someone experienced in eDNA #metabarcoding to join us for 3 months to work on a specific R&D project. Perfect for someone who’s just finished a PhD, and could turn into a permanent position. Immediate start though! Pls RT and get in touch if interested #sciencejobs
