preparing for a talk, mentioning this great work. It 1. shows how genomics can be used to evaluate impact of interventions 2. shows the importance of connectivity for driving epidemics 3. shows the importance of sharing data to allow this type of analyses pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…

Kick off. European Biosafety conference

Carlos das nevas up next

Carlos das nevas: i do not believe we will break down silo’s. But investing, data exchange etc will solve the problem.

Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl You are correct. It will take decades to undo the damage that’s been done globally to science and health. And they call us reckless…

Just cool stuff. Mosquito spit has an effect on severity of viral infection. But it matters which mosquito bites...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40326341/

Just got news that all of my NIH and NSF grants were officially terminated today. Have been expecting this for some time, so it's not surprising, but still jarring to see the news. Have heard similar news from dozens of colleagues. Will be hard, but we'll find a way forward.

Aparachick Hundreds of grants across all of Harvard affected, from quantum computing to cancer research and everything in between. My own work is microbial evolution and population genetics

While finishing her thesis, Imke Visser just published another very cool paper on the effects of mosquito saliva from distinct species on human dermal endothelial cell function in vitro and West Nile virus pathogenesis in vivo. doi.org/10.1080/222217…

🦟 Imke found that saliva from anthropophilic mosquitoes (Aedes and Cx. pipiens molestus) increases permeability of the dermal endothelium, likely due to protease(s) absent in ornithophilic Cx. pipiens pipiens.

In addition, saliva from Cx. pipiens biotypes enhance WNV-induced morbidity and mortality in vivo, as well as increased dermal vascular permeability at the inoculation site. However, only Cx pipiens molestus saliva enhances WNV viremia.

Great collaboration with Sander Koenraadt Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl from the One Health PACT and many others.
