If you're a non-UK scientist who wants to come to the UK for a postdoc, this year's Newton Fellowships are now open. You'll need a lab to host you (which could be me, but truly, could be any PI, so get in touch with someone you'd like to work with!) royalsociety.org/grants/newto...

Newton International Fellowships | Royal Society
This fellowship is for non-UK scientists who are at an early stage of their research career and wish to conduct research in the UK.

Are there any science sleuths from Africa here? Do you know any? Trying to diversify my network. Science sleuth = anyone scanning the scientific literature for problems or potential fraud, in images, tables, statistics, etc. Hit me in DM or here. Thank you ❤️

I went on a minor etymological odyssey (I promise this is neat but it needs a couple posts) because of immunology bc I recently found out that the Russian term for “mast cell” is «тучная клетка», and being me I inherently assumed that «тучный» shared an etymology with «туча», meaning thundercloud…

This past autumn, the UK 🇬🇧 decided to use up older bivalent COVID boosters "at the back of the fridge" before switching to the WHO-recommended XBB ones. A pragmatic choice to start the booster campaign on time (both work, but different extents), but 💡 lessons for next year: 🧵 tinyurl.com/zhpsk32c

Next Steps for the COVID-19 Vaccine Program. Interesting slide deck on proposed frameworks for how COVID-19 vaccines will be updated. It essentially follows the annual flu model. IMO useless for COVID as it does not effectively consider/counter rapid rate of evolution. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/aci...
