📸 Last week, this group of Boston University students had the opportunity to discuss their CEID-affiliated research projects & interests with BU Alum Melissa Fleming 🇺🇳 of United Nations We ❤️ multidisciplinary collaboration The future looks ✨ #ProudToBU #PlantingCEIDs 🌱

Reminder: Center for Structural Biology of HIV-1 RNA (CRNA) Collaborative Development Pilot Grant Program RFA, application deadline November 4, 2022. Please spread the word! crna.med.umich.edu/collaborative-…

"I understand the gravity of being a woman and now a #Nobel laureate in the sciences. There aren't that many of us—yet." Prof. Carolyn Bertozzi on chemistry, mentorship and representation ⬇️

Applications are now open for the *spectacular* 2023 Viruses and Cells Gordon Conference in Spain. Limit is 200 registrants--will fill up quickly!! grc.org/viruses-and-ce…

💥Our new paper just out Science Magazine! Antiviral activity of a human protein of retroviral origin A study led fearlessly by John Frank We propose that the human genome encodes a deep pool of antiviral proteins derived from retroviruses! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This new study uncovers mechanisms important for initiation of innate immune sensing of #SARSCoV2 infection in macrophages, persistent activation of which might contribute to severe COVID-19 pathophysiology. Read it here: plos.io/3FA4xEK

I'm very excited to share a review written together with @AymericSilvin @realFlorentGinhoux Miriam Merad, MD, PhD in Cell on macs in health & disease. We share our thoughts on how the field should approach the study of macs & on the field's now pressing questions! authors.elsevier.com/c/1g3VbL7PXiqSi

Ooh…Just in time for the holiday.

🤯 shock results continue at World Cup. First Saudi Arabia and now Japan! I can only hope that Canada comes through later today espn.com/soccer/report/…

.Boston University’ Center for Computing & Data Sciences is an example of what’s possible when we prioritize climate resilient, sustainable design in new builds. Excited to see our institutions delivering innovative solutions that benefit our people & our planet!

IMPORTANT: Those at-home tests you’ll be able to order next week won’t arrive by Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or New Year’s. BUT! If you have private insurance you can walk into most drug stores and get 8 free at-home tests at no cost PER INSURED PERSON, EVERY 30 DAYS.

Game for the ages! Mbappe!

That save by Martinez at the end of extra time was just superlative. And he just bossed the PKs

Congratulations to Argentina! while PKs to decide the final is never satisfying, one of the teams had to win. This was such a fun game to watch and share with my son, who’s a diehard Messi fan

Many professions including academia weirdly rewards & selects for folks who want to be seen as the smartest people in the room, who have to win every argument, & take no prisoners. But real humility also brings openness to others’ ideas & is the first step to true learning. 1/

After a long hiatus, a lab gathering: celebrating @Ananiascata last day in lab before she heads back to Chile and ⁦Ricardo Soto Rifo⁩ lab to finish her dissertation. Good luck Catarina. Best wishes and look forward to your next trip back up North!

🎉 Thrilled and honored to be recognized as a 2023 Hariri Fellow! As a #systemsImmunologist, this opportunity means so much to me and my research to develop better vaccines using #AI. Excited to work with fellow awardees and contribute to the innovative work at Hariri Institute for Computing, Boston University🧬💻

Congratulations Binita Basukala !

A discussion on a very interesting work by Hisashi Akiyama Rahm Gummuluru et al. providing mechanistic insights into the immune activation triggered by the HIV-1 full-length RNA during infection of macrophages. Thank you very much Nature Reviews Microbiology for the opportunity!!!
