Grateful for the “Global South’s deep bench of infectious disease specialists” who’ve spotted sudden epidemics better than the North. 🙌

@Cpl43uk The comment about media failing to memorialize scientists is sad but true. I still monitor twitter but what also seemed very sad but true was how many fighting cancer battles seemed to take flight (aka mostly died in their sleep) the last couple of days of 2022. Science example of one of the unsung heroes: my pal turned 70 yesterday, power & water out from storm so she spent most of the day at the open Starbucks doing flow analysis for a vaccine study. #ScienceHeroes
