OK - I am sure there are LOTS of good #lablit novels missing from The List, lablit.com/the-lablit-lis… as conceived & executed by our Dear Leader @JennyRohn (with aid of her sidekick @rpg7twit), BUT sometimes I say 'duh' to myself at what we have missed from the past...
Signs of an incurable grammar aficionada. I was already a few paragraphs into this NY Times piece before I realised it wasn’t “non-complete” and that this wasn’t a ban on the use of dependent clauses as complete sentences (already horrifically illegal in my book!). 😆
@JennyRohn pass it on!
Was having a pleasant conversation with a friendly cab driver on the way back from #IPC24 – until he brought up Covid and vaccines, both of which he considers a hoax. I always try to make a case, but 99 times out of 100 there is no point. Colleagues, how hard do you try?
Things you read in @JACCJournals while preparing for a talk... 🏹🎯🇨🇾 Great recruitment strategy! @mmamas1973 @EkateriniL @vass_vassiliou @AnastasiaSMihai
Large placebo-controlled RCT suggests D-mannose *doesn't* prevent recurrent #UTI in primary care - interesting study from @GailHayward1 & colleagues. Disappointing as there is so little that people with rUTI can do at the moment. We need better therapies! jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…
Overheard on the stairwell at the Infection Prevention and Control conference: “Don’t touch the handrails!” #IPC24
I am offering a 3-year postdoctoral contract to work at @CNB_CSIC @CSIC on the development of vaccines against viruses with epidemic and pandemic potential. Project funded by the @EU_Commission. I appreciate dissemination. Interested contact me.
