A tool created by @GeorgiaTech & @EmoryUniversity researchers detects schistosomiasis much earlier, meaning faster treatment and better outcomes for the 250M+ people affected by the parasitic infection. How they use machine learning to spot the disease: https://t.co/sYcWTbjC9p

Great to see this out today in @ScienceTM! Collaborative work with @jishnu1729 at Pitt & @Fairley_NTD at Emory and collaborators at CDC & in Brazil. Led by Anushka (@CoulterBME alum) in my lab & @TrirupaChakrab2 at Pitt. Antibody-omics for schistosomiasis diagnostics & beyond 👇

A 14 year old opens fire in school, killing 4 and injuring at least 9 others. He will be tried as an adult, but that doesn’t help the families who lost a child this morning. It doesn’t help those fighting for their lives. It doesn’t help us as a nation. Good lord, a 14 year old

“Epidemiological research is urgently needed to define the transmission mechanisms and risk factors for developing Hansen’s disease in the United States before it becomes a much bigger problem,” @kartc said. Read our latest piece on #leprosy for more: https://t.co/G7OFQbteCo.

Check out our new article with @realJeffCollins @trzeek Dean Jones and fantastic collaborators in Brazil. Adds to the sparse literature of high resolution metabolomics and leprosy. Fatty acid and retinol pathways (among others) differed between cases and controls.

You are responsible for everyone of those deaths…..every children that will not go to bed tonight….every children that will not wake up tomorrow and go to school….never again….because you forgot that you are here to protect people….#gunreform is what will decrease shootings!

9 years in the making, yesterday's #IPCC 6th assessment report synthesises a 6000-page (?) summary of climate and related sciences, and is arranged around 18 'headline statements' I'm going to try and summarise it in 18 plain-language tweets 😬
