Today is Jonas Salk’s birthday. Born #OnThisDay in 1914, he developed the first effective #polio vaccine. Dr Javier Martin discussed the recent upsurge in 'polio-like' disease at #MicroBio19, acute flaccid myelitis: microb.io/3rjH2eF
Only joined Twitter recently. It was an honour to be there and be able to present my work this way. I had a wonderful time in #Belfast at #Microbio19. Great memories.
