I am very honoured to have had my work on disease emergence and pandemic preparedness highlighted together with the work of @ksbakes.bsky.social in this @cam.ac.uk Research Profile. Thank you to everyone who is making this research possible.

Ebola, hantavirus, mpox... it can feel like hardly a week goes by without news of another infectious disease making headlines 🦠 Cambridge researchers are developing ways to identify hotspots and early outbreak warning signs. Their aim? Prevent another pandemic. Read more: https://bit.ly/4vyAtAs

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

My latest science comic just dropped! A collaboration between me, @target-amr.bsky.social @ksbakes.bsky.social and Prof. Paul Flowers. Very cool bringing the story of antimicrobial resistance to life, with an interesting detour to Victorian epidemiology and the story of Cholera hunter John Snow!

I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor for three years in my teens. This is spot on. Non-paywalled version gcaptain.com/drowning/

Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing, call for help that most people expect. In this article, Mario explains what drowning really looks like and how to recognize it when its happening.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Really reading the literature has always given scientists in training a huge advantage. But these days, it seems like a superpower. So many people skim/AI summarize papers, but then you miss out on so much! It's like reading a description of a Van Gogh painting vs. staring at it for 2h.

It took years after my masters to publish BaGPipe, now it's out! It's a Nextflow pipeline to run end-to-end bacterial GWAS, heavily tested and benchmarked on different datasets, and now in good hands of the Sanger's Pathogen Informatics Team. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
