When can phylogenetic methods alone predict the direction of transmission? We (@Chjulian, @katrina_lythgoe, @mdhall272, @BaxtrJames et al.) help to quantify this in our new @PNASNews study out today! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2210604…

Reading the news coverage of the @UCU #FourFights strike, I get the impression that many people don’t know what University lecturers do (and why would they?), so here’s a thread on it. I’m a psychologist, so let’s start with the work of the average psychology lecturer. 🧵👇1/18

The pooled-saliva PCR testing at Edinburgh Uni is pretty cool. Such a super easy system all round. Is this what routine surveillance will look like in a post-covid world?
