I treat flying like an addiction. I used to fly a lot, although I was fully aware of its detrimental effects. But I just loved it. And if you'd asked me, I'd make a strong case why my next flight was absolutely needed. Flying to London and back on the same day for a 5 hour meeting? Essential.

📣Our latest paper is out now in mSystems: Not quite as it may seem - investigating #plasmid diversity and evolution in #Klebsiella pneumoniae at a single institution over time. A short thread 🧵 @zaminiqbal.bsky.social

Another day, another review written by chatGPT. This is very quickly undermining the complete scientific endeavour. As an aside: do LLMs generally produce positive reviews, even if presented with clear nonsense?

If you’ve just arrived on BlueSky and are interested in infectious disease modelling, these starter packs are for you. 👇 I update them regularly, but I am sure I’ve missed many colleagues so don’t hesitate to send suggestions!

Our wonderful ARCANE project coordinator Marie-Rachel Garal has put together an advent calendar of previous research papers on the project website, showcasing the consortium's expertise in (temporal / healthcare) network analysis: arcane-project.eu/2024/12/02/a...

A fox closely approaching a human... The only thing I can think of is the potential for rabies transmission here.

As I gained "a couple" of followers since posting this, maybe now is a good time to repost this short thread on our recent work on fitness changes in SARS-CoV-2.

On my way to the first ever SWIM meeting (South-West German Infectious Disease Modelling Workshop) to present our recent work on estimating SARS-CoV-2 fitness gains without the use of lineage classification. swim.codeberg.page

As our TGV creeps across the border towards Strasbourg, the sun rises. Should be another 2 hours to Paris.

Ever wondered if we can determine the rise in SARS-CoV-2 variants without classifying the variants beforehand? Proud to present our latest advances in genomic surveillance analyses that don’t depend on phylogenetic trees! 🧵 1/5 #pandemicpreparedness #SARS-CoV-2

I just submitted a manuscript I started drafting in November 2019. Slowly but surely, I'm getting through the backlog COVID-19 caused. In my own system, it has designation FR1: the first manuscript I started working on after moving to Freiburg.

A reminder for journalists in the Netherlands as well as elsewhere: Ronald Plasterk (presumably the next PM of the Netherlands) is a developmental biologist, NOT a microbiologist. This is very important.

Our paper on how managed to provide hospital-specific bed demand forecasts to any (German) hospital wanting to know got published! Great collaboration between our team and the university hospital in Baden-Württemberg. And the first senior-author paper for me. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Apropos of nothing in particular, I'll be trying to get rid of my Dutch accent in German over the coming months. Just trying to avoid the "Ah! Niederländer?" type of conversations for the foreseeable future.

And yet another Gen epi study, this time Klebsiella in Ghana, showing that clinical/human MDR Gram negs are not a one health issue www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Seeing a child grow up bilingual is amazing. Yesterday I noticed that the 5yo pronounces the word for cow differently in German and Dutch German: Kuh [ku:] Dutch: koe [ku] And I've been trying the whole day, but it always sounds like [ku].
