@CodeRedTO Two Monterey County natives, currently profs at Tulane University — Louis https://liberalarts.tulane.edu/departments/philosophy/people/louis-gularte and Micaela https://liberalarts.tulane.edu/programs/religious-studies — take train both ways on trips home. Besides reducing carbon emissions, they enjoy getting a lot of work done on the train.

Fantastic to see this published! A seroprevalence study for Lassa Fever conducted by the #SierraLeonean KGH #LassaFever team and #TulaneUniversity team. Can stop using the 1970's reference now 🤣 .

Most importantly they found seroprevalence >50% from villages across the country. This overturns orthodoxy of limited distribution of #LassaFever within the country. Much more effort is required to understand this spatial heterogeneity. Which unfortunately means longer and more expensive studies.

Maybe some of you know that #tulaneuniversity has almost only white students... well, #racism still has a tradition there and it's painful to see it. Now, there is a well-written article in their newspaper "Are all your friends white?" https://tulanehullabaloo.com/48225/intersections/are-all-your-friends-white/
