State-of-the-science review of masks/respirators is out, new from the airborne all stars. 38k words, 413 references.

Bottom line: masks work, but respirators work far far better. (And so much more!)

Writing embryonic grant application.
If I were looking for 3 philosophically contrasting examples of healthcare decision-making under conditions of uncertainty, and eg's 1 and 2 were masks in pandemics and undifferentiated presentations in primary care, what would be a good eg 3? TY. 🧪 #academicsky

This is a game changer! The bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila as well as being a mucus muncher can degrade the glycans that coat blood groups ie target blood group antigens and effectively make them type O the universal donors! Incredible. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Aaah I'll try to find it. But we are about to publish a new massive review on this topic and I'll be doing another thread (here and on bird) to summarise that.

1/3. It was a marathon to complete this work over 2 years on ‘Pathophysiological Mechanisms in #LongCovid’!
The time it’s taken to get out, there would no doubt be more recent papers that would now be included but the overall messages are still extremely relevant…

"With investments in indoor air quality we can control every airborne disease. Imagine telling parents with school-aged children who are constantly sick that just changing the building code will make their kids far healthier."

Excellent piece from @independentsage.bsky.social and Anthony Costello reflecting on UK approach to the COVID19 pandemic and comparing with the approaches used in SKorea, Australia, Japan etc. we need to acknowledge mistakes and be prepared when and if this happens again 🧪

I talked about fragmentation, de-professionalisation, de-institutionalisation, complexification, responsibilization and facsimilization.

Great few days at the Organisational Behaviour in Healthcare Conference in Oslo where I was giving a keynote 'The Changing Nature of Healthcare Work'. Managed a few hours in the dazzling Norwegian sun too!

No, unrelated! It's in response to trolls attacking me for posting a picture of myself without a mask on.
