If you were asked to state the total number of acute infections you'd had, for example colds, or episodes of gastro-intestinal upset, over what period would you be confident about your response? A maximum period of... 1 month? 3 months? 6 months? 12 months? Thanks for responding.

Can you spare a few minutes to help, or seconds to share please. This fantastic team from the Netherlands led by Sami Simons are using voice diagnostics to help identify exacerbations of COPD. All you have to do is say Aaaah! Details 👇🏻 Thank you.

One of my favourite things? Seeing old #PhD students back in the lab, catching up on how their work has led to new studies, and sharing their experience with our current team. So good to see you back, Dr Aalrajeh - thank you for stopping by! And congratulations. 😉
