Great work by @AnttiKarkman on the genetic context of ARGs and MGEs in WWTPs ✨ Love how long reads sequencing can show if ARGs and MGEs are together 🤩 #EDAR6

Is it OK proposing (what may look like) impossible projects? IMHO it's the only way to push the boundaries. But funding bodies just wanna see predictable stuff. Some even ask how many papers one expects to publish in what journals—pathetic. Be realistic: demand the impossible 💪🏻

It was a great event and I am looking forward to the joint activities in the future. Big thanks to @UAC_UU for organising!
After a great first meeting, we thank all the participants in the first Meeting of Nordic #AMR Centers for their time and ideas! Great start for future collaborations and work ahead. The competence, knowledge, and work of these centers are so inspiring. See you again soon!

Kokonaiskustannusmalli. Himmeli puhututtaa edelleen. Olisiko aika palata lisäkustannusmalliin kuten EU:kin teki? Tässä akatemiaprofessori Olli Raitakarin vieraskirjoitus aiheesta: blogit.ts.fi/ts-blogit/valti…

Yliopistojen opiskelijavalinnoista on ajoittain liikkeellä virheellisiä tietoja. Ei kannata uskoa esimerkiksi sitä, että valintakokeet on lakkautettu tai että pitkä matematiikka on välttämätön yliopistoon pyrittäessä, muistutin @SivistysTA'n haastattelussa sivista.fi/uutiset/mita-haki…

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Україна #Russia #Россия

Tänä vuonna 18 täyttävät saavat eri tahojen allekirjoittamaan onnittelukirjeen, mikä on kiva juttu. Mutta voiko Suomessa vielä rekisteröidä parisuhteen? @DVVfi

The 'silent pandemic' is not silent anymore. New data, published in today’s #Lancet, show the true global cost of #AMR. We must use these data as a warning signal to spur on action at every level. #AMRSOS 👉 bit.ly/3nBEvas
