- 1/4 Our latest trial of yellow fever vaccination dosing in infants - doi.org/10.1016/S014.... Why did we do the trial? The problem is that although yellow fever vaccine works very well, stocks are limited and can't always control outbreaks.

- 1/6 Our paper today – www.nature.com/articles/s41... work from Kenya - shows protective antibodies against falciparum malaria sporozoites work against sporozoites injected into the skin, not against sporozoites injected into veins. Why does this matter?
- 2/6 Vaccines R21 and RTS,S protect through antibodies against falciparum sporozoites, many millions of doses to be given across Africa, vaccine schedules needed in new populations. Schedules guided by antibody responses. How do antibody levels relate to protection?

- Sounds great that a journal wants to train peer reviewers. But it looks like this is an option for those of us who already do the reviewing for free to add the task of inviting trainees that we select, and supervise their peer review, again for free.
- Increasing the breadth of researchers trained as peer reviewers is crucial to upholding quality in academic publishing. Last year, the Science journals began a pilot in which invited peer reviewers could add trainees as co-reviewers, with more than 2200 scientists participating. #PeerReviewWeek
