Cool project to synthesise #Arenavirus and #Hantavirus data from #rodents.
2,700 citations 🫣
900 titles and abstracts meet inclusion criteria 🤯
Will be a fun couple of months getting the data out of these. #OpenScience
Follow our progress: github.com/DidDrog11/arenavi…

Yesterday - received my first proper grant rejection from the Swedish Research Council. 😞
Today - received my approval for residency in Sweden from the Swedish Migration office. 🥳🕺🇸🇪
That's one way to get over a rejection #NewHome
