I really enjoyed this meeting for the Emerging & Zoonotic Infections Health Protection Research Unit. So much great science, and a fantastic training environment for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. I feel very fortunate to have been involved, and I'm sure its 3rd iteration will be superb

We're working with Stop Uyghur Genocide and Leigh Day to stop them in the courts. And we'd very much appreciate your support.

Diversity in naturally acquired immunity to Group B Streptococcus: A Comparative Study of Women from Bangladesh, Malawi, and the United Kingdom

Significant disparities in Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonisation and neonatal disease rates have been documented across different geographical regions. For example, Bangladesh reports notably lower rates compared to the United Kingdom (UK) and Malawi. This study investigates whether this epidemiological variability correlates with the immune response to GBS in these regions.

Absolutely. False hope is the worst of all, and can place a lot of strain on relationships with healthcare

Lance Turtle @lanceturtle.bsky.social · Nov 24

This can be very variable between people. It can be a bit harsh to crush all hope immediately, just as it is to introduce false hope. Simplest is just to ask how far the patient wants to go in any given consultation. Delivering bad news can be a process, not a single event.

Today, we conducted a simulation admitting a person with mpox into our Emergency Department & then critical care. Royal Liverpool Hospital is one of a handful of hospitals designated to look after people with Highly Infectious Diseases, like mpox, & it's important to regularly test our readiness.
