New @viralemergence study in preprint! How consistent are the impacts of social and environmental drivers on the outbreak geography of emerging infectious diseases? We harmonised surveillance and geospatial data for 32 diseases to ask this question. https://t.co/uV9yvAxzY4

🚨 I have two PhD projects included in the @NorthWestBio1 DTP 🚨 https://t.co/1V1yVXGD1Z Both use Large Language Models to extract data from scientific literature. One is completely computational and the other has a mix of field, lab, and dry work Project details below! 1/3

So looking forward to @seyeabimbola ‘s THE FOREIGN GAZE! “The field of research known as academic global health is in the midst of a scientific debate that is questioning its epistemological foundations. This book contributes to that questioning.” 🙏🏽 Ṣẹ̀yẹ, for writing!

American author Ursula K. Le Guin was born on this day in 1929. “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.”

Compensate windrush victims. Now.

New preprint on Oropouche virus: over six decades, only seven vector competence studies have been published. Biting midges are the only efficient vector known so far; mosquitoes can become infected, but have limited ability to transmit. Please share! (1/3) https://t.co/i2XYyT7L3C

Pleased that at the start of Biodiversity COP18 - we have staged a take over of the @ucl website to highlight biodiversity work across our faculties and our amazing partners @UCLLifeSciences https://t.co/9ZJ99rjsNP @UCLCBER

for years to come, we will still be uncovering the infinite ways AI tools encode and exacerbate racism, sexism, and all other isms in covert and nuanced ways. and countless lives will be irreversibly negatively impacted

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. - James Baldwin

Really proud of this piece of work, which was a collaboration with MANY brilliant people: @swarner000 @enock_kiminta @wwfzambia @gis_michelle @kassy4 @GemsWaterCDC and many more!

This is very good. A common issue is how the worry about a future possible risk tends to obscure the ongoing catastrophe - and naturalise it, we have to continue to feel.

Some @viralemergence news: To support Oropouche virus research & response efforts, we're releasing a mini-database of raw data from vector competence experiments. You can still access and cite the data while we work up the preprint! More here:

Are 'strikes' not composed of missiles? 'After.' Did nothing precede this? You see how western media plays with language to suggest justified vs unjustified violence

One of my biggest concerns right now about AI in the classroom is how AI views writing. Writing = a mundane chore that AI can eliminate; generic writing is fine. If we’re not careful, the tool controls our narratives about the value of writing, both the process and the product.

Excited about the epidemiology of emerging viruses? We're looking for one or more postdocs in - count em - FOUR areas. Join us right as we move into a beautiful office full of brilliant and kind colleagues from across Yale's campus. (1/2) https://t.co/eqvzVjplzP

Up to four postdoc opportunities with @viralemergence and the @Yale Public Health Modeling Unit ‼️

The neoliberal university:

16 years today my brother Sean was killed by Brixton Police officers following excessive restraint. Never Forgotten. I stand firm in the struggle for speaking truth to power. RIP Sean ✊🏽🌹🙏🏽 There is no Justice.

Great opportunity to work with a fantastic group of people on zoonosis/One Health projects (including our UK/US/Nigeria SCAPES consortium) 🐀
