What started as a question in a @cans_uit seminar ended up in tying an old and clinically valuable phage to a new bacterial threat described at the UiT. Thanks @jopaca_pauline @RobLavigne1 et al for the collaboration! https://t.co/GPPOQoK1PF

New research published in The Lancet finds that Western unilateral sanctions have caused 38 million deaths since 1970. The average death toll ranges from 400,000 to over 1 million per year. Staggering levels of violence. This system is intolerable and must be replaced.

We reached over 500 people with the 1st Brazilian symposium of viruses of microbes, followed by one in Alfenas and a phage isolation course. It is rewarding to see a high interest from the younger generation! Looking forward to see the South American VoM field grow. @cans_uit

28 million deaths caused by the imperial core since 1971, due to unilateral sanctions alone. Pure barbarism. This system is incompatible with humanity.

Sanctions have substantial adverse effects on public health, with a death toll similar to that of wars. Our findings underscore the need to rethink sanctions as a foreign-policy tool, highlighting...

It is not everyday that we can name a virus after a city! Long effort finally out now, adding Finland to the giant virus map. On top of this, in-depth structural data. Thanks @AbresciaL @sundberglr et al. https://t.co/0qMORtuvT9

What's striking about capitalist civilization is that it has no real direction. There's no vision for social progress, no commitment to improving human welfare or ecology. All we get is the chaos of profit-oriented production and accumulation as the world burns around us.

First paper on a collaboration between the @cans_uit (Norway) and @unifalmgOFICIAL (Brazil). This paper strengthens mucosal adaptations as the reason why prophylactic phage therapy works and also is symbolic in the revival of phage research in Brazil. https://t.co/IkSSJ0rwyY

📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.
