Pandemics don’t start in hospitals. They often start in animals.

That’s why university vet schools matter so much for public health & pandemic preparedness.

I’ve written about the proposed closure of Cambridge Vet School and the national consequences.

Please could you help us fight the unreasonable recommendation to close the veterinary course at the @Cambridge_Uni by contributing to savethevetschool.co.uk @CamVetSchool

Did you used to get Discovery from Marshall Cavendish?

Launched in 1988 1t was a partwork school encyclopedia you bought each fortnight to help you learn about history through a mix of model making, audio cassettes and massive pictures. Launched just before CD-ROMs became arta 95 without the screen glare!

People usually think replication attempts in science are rare. Journals don't publish replications, so scientists don't do them.

In reality there are countless replication attempts (and failures), it's just PhD students assume they did something wrong

Well...there it is. 😯

DoD confirms:
- a new-construction PRC submarine sank at the pier in Wuhan
- the boat was first of a new class, the Type 041 Zhou
- PRC authorities scrambled to cover it up
AND
- DoD reveals that it is nuclear-powered ⚛️

On Saturday, we wrapped up our 6-day training on Mathematical Modelling for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Dynamics!

Congratulations to all the incredible participants from across the continent—your energy, dedication, and hard work made this training a huge success! 🙌

I'm looking for TWO postdocs to join my lab @cornellvet If you are interested in disease (re)-emergence, expansion & dynamics have a look at my lab: anabento.io & details of the positions here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/27817 Reach out if you have any questions 🤓

🎉 Announcing our #FuturesFellowships scheme!

We’re looking to recruit 10 Futures Fellows who will be hosted within our Schools and woven into the fabric of our four College Futures.

When it comes to problems with academic publishing we are in fact the baddies. So many scholars really think pre-pub peer review works as quality control & published stuff is trustworthy. There is no easy fix to the quality problem, but ending publication as target is a beginning

🐷New paper in Nature Food🐷

THE BAD NEWS: overall, we found trade-offs. Farms with lower GHGs had lower land use, but higher antimicrobial use and poorer welfare.

THE GOOD NEWS: trade-offs weren't inevitable. Several farms performed well in all four ways. 1/5
