Congratulations to Sai Thein Than Tun @tropicalmedicine.ox.ac.uk for passing his PhD viva & overcoming some formidable obstacles in the process. Sai’s work on malaria elimination is a great example of simple models supporting clear thinking about complex processes link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Many hospitals in LMICs lack access to microbiology services. @cherrylim128.bsky.social et al asked if such services are a good use of limited resources. The answer: emphatically yes. Such services are likely to improve patient outcomes & reduce overall costs. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨 New preprint!! How can antibiotic-resistant bacteria increase in abundance in the human gut microbiome, even without antibiotics? 🧐 We show that strain-specific ecological interactions are key to understanding resistance dynamics in microbial communities. 🧵👇 1/5 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
