Tartan Day is celebrated around the world at the beginning of April, marking the contribution of diaspora Scots to countries including the United States of America, Canada, Australia and elsewhere.

We need to help get recognition of #noma as an #ntd (neglected tropical disease)

#Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (#NTD); one diagnosis is finding the parasite egg in urine. It can be as low as one egg in one liter. We can use our microfluidic to find and identify the egg using cheap microscopes.
How cheap, you ask? Same question I asked @beniroquai: “what’s the cheapest microscope we can do for this detection?” And so the #ESP32 #microscope was born. Less than 10€, mostly 3D printed, wifi, and fully open: https://github.com/Matchboxscope/Matchboxscope/blob/master/Matchboxscope.md

Time to address a collective moral failure: recognising #noma as #neglected tropical disease could help to end the neglect of this devastating #Children disease and mobilize resources for epidemiology, microbiology, pathogenesis and clinical #research

#Samsung plummeting profits (-97%) for 4Q show where we stand with the #ICT/#semiconductor cycle but note that #TSMC was better. However, even #TSMC is expecting an even more challenging Q1 in 2023. #SouthKorea's and #Taiwan's growth to plummet in #2023 so expect weak #KRW & #NTD

The 2021 National Transit Database #NTD came out last November. I use it to rank #transit for breakdown frequency.
Is NJ Transit the "worst in the nation" for breaking down, as NJ Dot Com says?
But first a boring post where I demo how to clean this data using #rstats: https://glassbro.blog/post/ntd-2021/

#transit and #FTA #NTD experts: Is there a good explanation somewhere on the difference between the FTA's #NationalTransitDatabase monthly module adjusted data release and the monthly module raw? The explanation on the FTA website are not super helpful. https://www.transit.dot.gov/ntd/data-product/monthly-module-adjusted-data-release

Would never have thought that a paper about #scabies #outbreaks in UK #carehomes would end up with over 100 citations (and at the moment is my most cited paper)
And with scabies now being a Neglected Tropical Disease, good to see a bit of momentum building about addressing this #NTD as a global #publichealth problem
