Another sign Musk is making a Twitter an increasingly unpleasant and less useful forum for scientists: the COVID misinformation policy is gone.

I've been conflicted about Twitter given its important role in sci comm vs the trolling, misinfo, etc. But increasingly hard not to hope the whale fails for good.

Actual good news (not a drill)

'EMA’s PDF icon annual report on the European Surveillance of Veterinary Antimicrobial Consumption (ESVAC) shows that, since 2011, European countries have substantially reduced sales of veterinary antibiotics in animals. According to data from 25 countries that continuously provided input for the full 2011-2021 period, overall sales of veterinary antibiotics decreased by 47% in this interval, reaching the lowest value ever reported.'

Hi everyone! I guess that it was about time, so this is my #introduction My name is Jordi, I'm Associate Professor at Uppsala University. I'm a screener, phenotypic drug discovery and automation are two of my professional passions. Otherwise you will find me playing with my kids, eating good food with the family, doing sports (Svensk Klassiker anyone?), and listening to music whenever time allows. See you around!

The irony inherent to many vaccines is that they are so effective some people have forgotten how bad the diseases they prevent are and have decided they don't need to be vaccinated against them.

Back when we were all mouth-pipetting

'The sugar alcohols and glycosides are found in nature, but all the man-made types (the first three classes) were discovered accidentally when someone in a lab happened to ingest small amounts and noticed the taste. That last pathway is not as common as it used to be decades ago - who knows what artificial sweeteners we might have missed out on due to lack of sloppy lab technique?'

'I’m not a China expert, and I have no idea where this is going. As far as I can tell, actual China experts don’t know, either. But I think it’s worth asking what lessons we can draw from China’s journey from would-be role model to debacle.

Crucially, the lesson is not that we shouldn’t pursue public health measures in the face of a pandemic. Sometimes such measures are necessary. But governments need to be able to change policy in the face of changing circumstances and new evidence.'
