I've been watching the bird flu story with caution rather than concern (thanks to excellent reporting from @grace_wade_ ) but 7 potential human-to-human infections is a significant escalation. Let's hope it doesn't continue

BREAKING: 7 people in contact with a MO patient with #BirdFlu developed symptoms. This is very concerning. “Nobody should be hitting the panic button yet…It means the virus is inching closer & closer to what would be a real pandemic virus.” tinyurl.com/3ucwarpp

Our bodies are littered with microplastics - they’re in our livers, kidneys, guts and even our olfactory bulb. These microplastics have been linked to some pretty serious health consequences, but @grace_wade_ asks -are they the cause? link.chtbl.com/newscientist

When I worked at New Scientist, obviously I HAD to say I thought NS Live was absolutely brilliant. However, now that I don't work there, I can tell you: it REALLY IS BRILLIANT. I love it so much. It's mainly talks (and I really recommend going to as many as you can) but also...🧵


I have done a lot of cool things at my job, but this may be the coolest! I got to chat with sci-fi author and friend of Octavia Butler's, @NisiShawl, about Parable of the Sower and the late author's legacy. You can watch the interview below. newscientist.com/video/2449550-…


Our bodies seem to be riddled with #microplastics. In the last few years, we have found them in our liver, kidneys, lungs, gut, brain – the list goes on. But what does this mean for our health? I dove into the research to try and answer that question. newscientist.com/article/244954…

Thanks @grace_wade_ and @newscientist for covering this topic, quoting me and linking to my recent threads for different regions. It is great to see the @GISAID data getting attention as an accurate predictor of future waves of infection, hospitalisation and death. 🧵

Our work on muscle memory has been featured in NewScientist! @newscientist How do we get out of shape and is there a way to slow the loss! Nicely written by @grace_wade_ newscientist.com/article/mg2633…


The most detailed map ever made of the endometrium – the inner lining of the uterus – has unveiled new cell types, yielded clues about #endometriosis and enhanced our understanding of how cells change across the menstrual cycle. And this is just the start! newscientist.com/article/244605…

How clouds will respond to warming is among the biggest mysteries in climate science. I went cloud watching with @karadlamb to learn what will solve it, from new satellites to cloud chambers big enough to drizzle.🌧️I won't see cirrus the same way again. newscientist.com/article/mg2633…

How does our brain know when the beat will drop? 🎶 @grace_wade_ says researchers have discovered the parts of our brains that are responsible for making sense of musical changes – and it works the same whether you’re listening to Mozart or Metallica 🤘 link.chtbl.com/newscientist

Mice with parasitic worms develop weaker immunity to #covid-19 vaccines than those without parasites. This suggests that covid-19 vaccines may be less effective in people with intestinal #parasites, or roughly a quarter of the world's population. newscientist.com/article/244472…
