I’ve finally learned the difference between mis and dis-information!! Misinformation = mistaken! Disinformation? Deliberate!

First panel of the #pandemicsciences25 conference. Really interesting discussion about early detection and spillover events in zoonotic diseases and how they can inform pandemic preparedness

Really loved the opportunity to learn more about the opportunities and pitfalls of life as an early career researcher from such amazing speakers as @peterhorby.bsky.social and others at the workshop before the #pandemicsciences25 conference

The degree if overlap between a AI generated virus and the experimental findings is incredible! One took 5 years, the other 5mins. But really demonstrates how AI can compliment traditional experimental methods, a great presentation from Dr Joe Grove #ukpsn25
