My favourite study of "how often does a family with small children get a respiratory infection?" is this one, from the USA:
https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/civ486
Children <5y have one of 16 common respiratory viruses detected in a nasal swab 50% of the year!

Very sharp increase in SARS-CoV-2 levels in Dublin wastewater. As in the previous two years, viral levels peak during the Christmas period.

A real pleasure to visit @ClionaOfarrelly’s lab to examine @FGiangrazi’s thesis.

From now on, I will insist that all PhD vivas end with the examiner sitting on Oscar Wilde!

What transporter is responsible for uptake of our recently discovered immunosuppressive metabolite (MNA)? And can we target it? Jessica, one of our newest graduate students is working on it! -SM1

Yesterday I circulated a plot I made about ERC grantees.

I made a horrible mistake: I mistook Ireland (IE) for Israel (IL). The data concern Israel and **not Ireland**.

Also, data covers 12 largest ERC host countries.

I apologize. Here is the correct plot.

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers?

AT, CH attract a lot.

FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive.

IE is a closed system.

Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go.

Plot made with @ERC_Research data.

The acidity of tumours impairs the effectiveness of anti-cancer therapies, according to a study led by Dr Ignacio Moraga, @UoDLifeSciences. The findings could lead to a new generation of immunotherapy treatments.

RCSI research published today in @NatureComms could help improve the effectiveness of #vaccines.

The study shows how our circadian clock is changing the shape of mitochondria within a key immune cell, influencing our vaccine response.

Researchers studied the effects of a 20-minute walk on the cognitive performance of a group of children.

This is fascinating…
