Prof Ros Gleadow FAA 💙💚 @rgleadow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This is particular relevant to the preCOP meeting in Fiji this week - while cassava is now widely eaten in the Pacific, the knowledge of the need to process it is more limited, probably because it is only a relatively recent staple in the region ~50 years. 031
Prof Ros Gleadow FAA 💙💚 @rgleadow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The brief outlines the strategic crisis where environmental stressors — e.g. drought and extreme temperatures — trigger a biochemical surge in cyanogenic glucosides within staple crop cassava.

Prof Ros Gleadow FAA 💙💚 @rgleadow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So sorry to hear you've had ME for so long. Very interesting that Shingrix helped your ME. Have others tried that? I did mean chicken pox vaccine in children. I've had shingrix too. My OH got shingles after Covid (picked up v quickly by me, having read about it) 120

Prof Ros Gleadow FAA 💙💚 @rgleadow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026They speculate about the increase in shingles in millennials and older and don’t mention Covid - it is very common to get shingles in the aftermath of Covid 140
Prof Ros Gleadow FAA 💙💚 @rgleadow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Another win for childhood vaccination. Interesting that shingles cases are dropping in young people who were vaccinated against chicken pox. It was always a worry (to me - I’m not an expert) that shingles might increase. I wonder if vaxxing will avoid re/activation of this virus in people with ME? 270
Prof Ros Gleadow FAA 💙💚 @rgleadow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026 I can’t imagine the pain and grief you’ve gone/go through . Denial is a strange beast. With climate change, once you realise it’s happening and CO2 is the cause you have to do something about. Sadly 🙈🙉🙊 010
