This #WorldAlzheimersDay, we're encouraging everyone to start a conversation about dementia. Talking about dementia helps reduce the stigma & fear that surround the condition, and connects you with other people affected. Visit alzheimers.org.uk/wad to get started today.

📍BREAKING—First ever official re-infection case of #COVID19 documented. Research team from @hkumed report the first reinfection in press release. Patient reinfected by a completely separate strain of #SARSCoV2 from original, as proven by 🦠🧬sequencing. Details & implications🧵
#JustIn: #HKU's microbiology team issued a press release suggesting the 33-year-old IT patient, who came back from #Spain, is the world’s first #Covid19 reinfected patient. #Covid19 #coronavirus

A first case of #COVID19 reinfection from HKU, with distinct virus genome sequences in 1st and 2nd infection (142 days apart). Kudos to the scientists for this study. This is no cause for alarm - this is a textbook example of how immunity should work. (1/n)

Reinfection occurs if the virus changes or with high viral dose exposure. Here they found the strain of SARS CoV-2 was different. But as expected the immune system worked and the patient was asymptomatic. @DrSidMukherjee @Rfonsi1 - your thoughts...

My thoughts on Hong Kong reinfection report. The key question is not whether COVID reinfection occurs. It is whether reinfection will be severe. I have said before that severe reinfection will be very rare, and reinfections won’t cause a repeat of the pandemic. NO need to panic

Really loved going back to my @MResBIOSI work for @InnovIsolation! Even more timely considering the relevant paper was accepted just a couple of days later! 🥳 🌳 🐞🦟🐛🦋🐌🕷🐜🐝
#I3Rewind What calls the damp and smelly rot of a hollow tree home? 🌳🏚️❓ Apparently all sorts of insects! 🐛🐝🐞🕷️🦟 Watch @JordanCuff's recent I3 talk on heart-rot, the violet click beetle and hollow tree invertebrates on YouTube now: youtu.be/SDfF3LoqqZA

Beavers can be key allies in tackling the climate and nature crises. Every signature on our Scottish Rewilding Alliance petition will help show the Government it should save the country’s fragile wild beaver population. #movedontkill treesforlife.org.uk/call-for…

#AcademicTwitter, how do usually cite papers in your manuscripts? I have worked with #LaTeX and #Mendeley in Microsoft Word until now but I think opinions are seriously divided so I would like to hear ideas to consider in future manuscripts. @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter
