@shalinhnaik Me too. I am just so incredibly sad 😞💔

@scientist_JJ @SnowMedical @UniMelb Great point. The thing is our universities have had years to make positive changes, with reduced funding a possibility if they don’t - wasn’t this the basis for SAGE? They didn’t do anything and now they are actually being held to account. 🤞🏼this is corrected soon

@witstowear @SnowMedical It’s a valid point. Snow Medical is a family-run organisation, which probably accounts for the lack of diversity of the founders!

Update: 2x technical replicates of throat + nose swab just came up negative 🙅🏻‍♀️. Have to assume saliva tests yesterday were false +. Now I just need to reschedule my bday celebrations 🤦🏻‍♀️🥳

@RTAndersonNJ Maybe it’s a thing with the saliva tests 🤔? Might stick to swabs from now on and sample throat and nose

@kylie_gorringe Kids really are ingenious when it comes to wagging 😂. Apparently untrue, but I had heard this too so had nothing to eat or drink before any of the tests. Unless I have really acidic saliva… but buffer should neutralise pH 🤔

@CFlensburg Hmmm, interesting. Perhaps I’ll re-PCR in a few days. No symptoms as yet, which may be why results are sketchy 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DrCamillaM Thanks Camilla!

@rockatscientist Interesting, thanks. Will do a throat + nasal as suggested and 🤞🏼🤞🏼. I’m 💯 symptom free, hopefully it stays that way even if it’s positive!

A fantastic opportunity to hear from a world leader in molecular biology 🧬. Got a question for Edith 🙋🏽? Post it here!
