We are in Glasgow for our honeymoon & came to find 39 Gibson Street, part of the #Uncanny #Luibeilt story. Sadly 39 has been knocked down, but here is a view of the other side of Gibson Street, opposite where it would have been @danny_robins @_EvelynHollow @ciaranokeeffe

replied snidely “yeah well, that someone isn’t me” No words to boozing, intimidating men surrounding a single woman, but plenty to say about my potential lack of a ticket. Feeling unsafe on your train, and actually quite upset about the way I was spoken to.

After my nasty gallstone episode, I’m pleased to have better news: mine & @KathrynJackNHS’s abstract on HDV testing has been accepted for presentation at the @EASLnews 2023 congress! Excited & terrified in equal measure! @ResearchNuh @NUHInstitute @NUHNursing

Huge thanks to the brilliant team @nottmhospitals A&E department who have looked after me with compassion and professionalism after I was brought in tonight having passed a gall stone! It was incredibly painful! @nottmhospitals @NUHNursing @NUHMedicine

A worrying piece of research concerning #AMR - and it also seems that bacteria survive better together than they do alone!
Together the world’s most deadly & drug-resistant pathogens become more powerful & infectious! @flamycain's team & the @BRaTlab found that pathogenic bacteria co-exist in ~40% of hospital patients; together they survive higher antibiotic concs than alone bit.ly/3Xqk7Ir

Interesting article about how the bacterium Yersinia Pestis may have had lasting effects on the human genome following the devastating pandemic in the Middle Ages, and how this may be contributing to autoimmune disorders in the present day

Extraordinary, cavalier & irresponsible attitude from @theresecoffey. Antibiotic resistance is on the rise, leading to literally untreatable infections & our HS not only thinks it’s alright to misuse antimicrobials, but to boast about it too. Disgraceful.
This is staggeringly irresponsible of @theresecoffey & will cause so much more harm than good. Doctors do not - unlike Coffey - dish out spare antibiotics to our family & friends because we’re painfully aware of the harms of antibiotic resistance. Utter recklessness.

Interesting final session on mass testing during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is an interactive debate chaired by @NakedScientists. It’s good to see that there is room for healthy, respectful debate within #virology
Professor Will Irving and @HarvalaHeli chair the last afternoon session on Clinical Cases @ESCVirology
