Unhappy that I was forced to move from med-mastodon and spent a couple of hours putting up JUST my latest posts from my old account and the one documenting my covid infection and treatment. I did download my archive, but it's over 8000 posts 😩

Happy that the repostings have got so much attention and brought out some new friends/followers. I'll still be focusing on disseminating and amplifying #PublicHealth information, with a focus on #InfectiousDisease .

I did lose a couple of hundred followers in the process and there is no way to fix it as the old server will be gone on April 1st so feel free to boost 😉

Thanks to everyone for your support!

"Ours is the only lab currently studying this family of kinases in Toxoplasma," Gaji said. Six of these proteins are predicted to be essential for parasite growth, and his team has already shown that at least two control vital processes in the parasite's nucleus.

This represents a treasure trove of drug targets. While other researchers focus on obvious pathways, Gaji has carved out a ...

#BrownUniversity’s #Pandemic Center studies #pandemics, and the #US resurgence of #measles is a grim sign of what’s coming
Low levels of #vaccination across the country mean measles #outbreaks will continue to occur, needlessly hospitalizing and killing the unvaccinated. But beyond these harms, the disease’s resurgence serves as a serious warning about the country’s capacity to manage #infectiousdisease threats of all kinds.

We study pandemics, and the resurgence of measles is a grim sign of what’s coming

The US eliminated measles in 2000, but the disease is once again circulating.
