"Just 34 percent of Americans diagnosed with...hepatitis C — are being cured of the liver infection...The report notes that the current cure rate falls far short of the national goal of at least 80 percent by 2030. That gap exists despite the presence, for nearly a decade, of medication (direct-acting antiviral tablets) that the report describes as 'highly effective hepatitis C treatments.'”

#IDMastodon #Viralimmunology. @cidrap #LongCovid and the unfuture foreseen Chronic immune dysregulation . 27 metabolites remained dysregulated even after two years. #PostCOVID patients displayed a heterogeneous metabolic profile. Lactic acid, lactate/pyruvate ratio, ornithine/citrulline ratio, and arginine were identified as the most relevant metabolites for distinguishing patients with more complicated #LongCovid evolution.

"The effects of climate change driven by human activity are now part of the daily news cycle, and time is running out for decisive action."

Lab & academia's responsibilities in the climate emergency. A privilege to collaborate with @mucida & Rachel on this Nature Immunology commentary.

On the same day that Sunak blew 50 grand on a private jet to Aberdeen, it's reported that the FM spent £534 on a return flight between Edinburgh and London City.

This blog is the first I've actively subscribed to in many many years. I WANT to be alerted to new articles. Adam's writing style is fun, engaging, and thought-provoking. Really a must-read for the #AcademicChatter and #OpenScience crowd.

Includes great insights like:
"Right now, professional science is like a world where every organism is trying to be a mammal. Mammals are great: milk-producing glands, body hair, ears that have three bones in them, what’s not to like?"

#introduction😀

I study #immune #evolution, including host - #pathogen interactions. My work has focused on #antimicrobial #defense #peptides which are like #antibiotics coded by the #genome . A key focus is #immunity-#microbiome interactions 🦠

New PP: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.23.521774

I also talk ethical publishing and advancing the conversation on #preprint, #openscience, and #academicchatter.

Swiss #SNSF mobility fellow in #UoE UK. Cheers! 👋

New in @sciencemagazine (🐦): our #immune system doesn't just shape our #microbiome, our microbiome shapes our immune system. Our study supports the idea that specific host immune genes have been tailored/selected to deal with specific microbes.

Tasmania breaks July winter temperature records; Sydney records hottest July temperature.

It seems July temperature records aren't only being broken during the northern hemisphere heatwaves, but also in the depths of winter season in Australia.
