Good news. Abstract deadline for this unique ‘respiratory infection-focused’ meeting, the RTI Forum, which will be held in Glasgow March 2-4, is extended until Dec 1.
Great opportunity to hear from and interact with different disciplines, and for young scientists to present your work!

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.

The neonatal gut microbiota: A role in the encephalopathy of prematurity
Vaher et al. perform a comprehensive characterization of very preterm infant gut microbiome and its associations with MRI markers of encephalopathy of prematurity. The results suggest links between bacterial species and their functions with brain development. Because gut microbiome is modifiable, this research could offer new avenues for perinatal neuroprotection.

The respiratory microbiome is linked to the severity of RSV infections and the persistence of symptoms in children
In this study, Kristensen et al. investigate the link between the respiratory microbiome and RSV severity. Although the neonatal respiratory microbiota is only modestly associated with RSV severity during the first year of life, the respiratory microbiota during RSV infection is strongly associated with disease severity and persistence of symptoms.
