Calling all students with a research interest in any area of infection/immunity! We're looking for great science writing. The Robin Weiss Prize is to commemorate an inspirational, creative scientist who was highly gifted in writing accessible, readable science. Details here: lnkd.in/eYAHHkT7

I’ve been lucky to know many great scientists, but Robin was really way up there as a creative thinker, intellect, pioneer - yet, unusually, managed to combine this with being utterly kind, generous, warm. We’ll miss him

Given the huge clinical need, we look to the ME policy reboot with interest…yet weary and battle-scarred by decades of disingenuous policy proposals that always left an orphan specialty of under-funded, under-researched post infectious sequelae

This day 80y ago my mother liberated from Terezin Concentration Camp by the Red Army. She’d been brought there from Auschwitz. They offered her vodka & horse meat. She’d lost her mother, brother, home, friends, extended family. She went to Daggendorf Displaced Persons Camp,Munich, start her new life

I’d forgotten what an incredible treat of London tourism and local Victorian history it is to spend a few hours at Highgate Cemetery

Sunday morning, reading a PhD thesis for viva tomorrow, and listening to @traceythorn.bsky.social. That was £3.40 well spent all those years back

Farewell, Jean Adamson, Topsy and Tim - you’ve been big in our family (so many good ones, especially where they collect up stuff for the charity jumble sale).

I don’t normally stray here into politics, but this is global health and child mortality: somewhat terrified this will negatively impact not just public health in the USA, but could normalise this view further afield

Another Journal Club? Many of us have some kind of Bronte thing, whether its Jane Eyre or just the Kate Bush song, but here Lyndall Gordon really shows Charlotte as pioneer of women writers seeking the space and a viable route to express independence and passion, linking to Woolf, Dickinson, Plath
