Yes @drheatherferg.bsky.social. We can have him in our Wednesday Lab presentations or early carrier EDI series.

I know - @kierankillen4.bsky.social has been finding out lots about this. We will see if we can get him to give a talk on his findings

This is so interesting.

#malariacommunity
I am aware of numerous excellent studies, recommendations, and demonstrations on how to reduce and eliminate malaria.

From your expertise, what are your best recommendations for a local community aiming to eliminate the malaria burden at local, national, and global levels?

Sunny day in Burkina Faso. Photo shows a military official pinning a?medal to the chest of De Antoine Sanou, a scientist from Burkina Faso whose research and work on malaria?control is being celebrated.

Congratulations to Dr Antoine Sanou, colleague, friend & former @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social PhD, on award of the Medal of the Order of the Stallion, the highest distinction in Burkina Faso. This recognizes his outstanding contributions to #malaria control & the Ministry of Health. We are proud of you

Another PhD viva, another cake and yet another Dr!
🎉 Dr Emmanuel Mwanga!

Oustanding work on #AI & #InfraredSpectroscopy for #malaria vector surveillance supervised by @simonab.bsky.social Fredros Okumu & me

🙏 examiners Daniel Streicker & Eric Ochomo

@issamshani7.bsky.social from #IfakaraHealthInstitute & @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social as now joined 😀.

Give him a follow for #malaria #machinelearning #globalhealth

Congratulations Dr Issa Mshani

Finally joined Bluesky, 🤓. Thank you very much Heather.

Congrats to Dr Issa Mshani for passing his PhD viva @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social today!

In his PhD, Issa developed new tools for #malaria surveillance at the Ifakara Health Institute, supervised by Fredros Okumu, @simonab.bsky.social and myself.

Thank you to examiners Dan Haydon and Carlos Chaccour.

Many congratulations, Dr Issa! 🥳

Many congratulations to the newly minted Dr Issa Mshani of #IfakaraHealthInstitute & @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social . Fantastic thesis assessing potential for #machinelearning and #spectroscopy to advance malaria diagnostics

Now we just got to get him to join Bluesky 😀!
