My university, ugh.

Exam question from a couple of years ago says to write about the genome organisation of a norovirus and key proteins encoded by it, and then comment on potential drug targets and why antiviral treatments could be useful.

You literally could not pass if you didn't discuss the clinical symptoms and typical epidemiology. Even the lowest grade required that info.

Where in the question do you see that requirement?

I can't believe I wrote my whole #introduction without mentioning studying at all.

So yeah, I'm also a perpetual student. I once read that the antithesis of anxiety is curiosity, so... I got curious.

I currently study at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (#LSHTM) doing their distance learning course on Infectious Diseases. I previously studied English Literature at Cardiff University, and Biology via the Open University. I've done a lot of random MOOCs and short courses too.
