And of course I couldn't miss @gmknght.bsky.social 's great presentation this morning on the role of mathematical modelling when thinking about One Health interventions against AMR ! 🦠💻 Key take-home message: transmission matters... #ESCMIDGlobal

but since Joe doesn’t believe in lying back & saying how bad his luck is he’ll be running his first 10k in July to support amazing local charity, Yellow Submarine www.yellowsubmarine.org.uk. Please sponsor him if you can bit.ly/3G24aF9 repost if you can’t & visit their awesome Oxford cafe.

Finishing 2024 on a high note: delighted to be appointed Professor at LSHTM. Thanks to many many people for support & advice along the way. 🙏 Looking forward to more exciting research, collaborations with amazing scientists, work with my fantastic team & PPIE colleagues. Exciting times ahead! 🎉

I learned a cool trick from @cap1024.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy Accounts on other platforms like fosstodon can follow you on @bsky.app if you follow @ap.brid.gy which acts as a bridge to other platforms. Similarly if they follow a bridge on their platform then you can follow them.

Happy to have played part in this with most of the hard work done by the amazing @lucygoodfellow.bsky.social and Carl Pearson. @cmmid-lshtm.bsky.social
