We can all agree that outbreak mitigation and prevention are incredibly important goals, which require investments in local capacity and equitable partnership. That is why we are big proponents of One Health approaches, or "Roots, not Parachutes":https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(16)30800-5 …
But IMO, despite the hype, PREDICT (and the spinout, the Global Virome Project) never meaningfully set out to do science that would critically impact our ability to respond to current or future outbreaks.
.@K_G_Andersen - curious to hear your thoughts on how could PREDICT have been set up to be useful and effective for outbreak prediction? what constitutes science within the field?
Hi Nikhil - there are many ways, but too complex a topic to fit on Twitter. I'm hoping our publications help explain the issue better.
Well said!
In the next phase of similar projects I hope more Africans will be included in the actual work. It is a shame to reduce African scientists to sample collectors
It seems to me the benefit of this program was to build local and regional capacity, but that is never how the program was most explicitly sold. The idea this would enable us to predict outbreaks is a farce, as youre right to say. It borders on being a scam, truthfully.
Building capacity can mean a lot of things. To me, it means training local scientists how to do this on their own, write papers as first or last authors, & get grants themselves, not meager sub-awards. I don't know of any country where that happened.
