Fun fact about this year's ContamCalendar - it was created entirely from a hospital bed after I spent 7 weeks in hospital following heart surgery. This surgery was actually partially related to both contamination and the ContamCalendars.... 📆🫀🩺🦠

I’ve finally managed to grow at high rate (and reproduce it) keratinocytes from gum tissue from patents with periodontitis #perio How cool is that?
