I should be qualified to comment on the covid-19 pandemic. I'm a computational/system biologist working on infectious diseases and have spent five years in a world class 'pandemic response modelling' unit. In this thread, I will summarise what I believe I (don't) know. (1/12)

Cambridge is leading a £10 million interdisciplinary collaboration to target the most challenging of cancers.

I’ve learnt that the Rolls Royce of scientific publishing, Nature Research, has opened an editorial office in Berlin w/ 30 editors, some fleeing London due to the madness of #brexit. Science is already on the run from a bastion of excellence. The EU’s gain is the UK’s loss. Ugh!
