Happy to report that we’ve developed a 3-D printed mask. Passed N95 equivalent fit-test with Bitrex (surgical wrap as filter, readily available). Wearable all day. Mask can be resterilized/reused. Nylon-12. Thanks to @Intermountain3D for co-development. #COVID19 #PPE

Österreich ist bisher besser durch die Krise gekommen als andere Länder. Der Grund dafür sind die Österreicherinnen & Österreicher. Wir haben schneller & restriktiver reagiert & durch dieses Verhalten wurden Leben gerettet. Vielen Dank an alle, die hier ihren Beitrag leisten!

Thanks to our awesome PI Florian Krammer for providing us with delicious cupcakes to keep up the motivation (and the blood sugar I guess)! 😃

Our serological assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in human blood samples was FDA approved today! 🥳 Proud to be part of such an amazing team!

No words needed. That's what vaccines do.

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

The lowest point of it all was when I arranged a meeting with a senior (white male) scientist to explain that I felt I’d lost the opportunity to continue my career because of childcare. His response was that science is hard for everyone, and good people are always lost.

Yesterday, the Austrian government announced: starting Monday, you can only dine out if vaccinated or had a prior COVID infection. The vax rate has stagnated at 60% for months. Today. Austrians don't get vaxed for vulnerables/kids but Schnitzel. This is Austria.

Unvaccinated Austrians ages 12 and older awoke on Monday confined to their homes for all but essential activities, as one of the strictest coronavirus lockdowns in Europe went into effect. nyti.ms/3oC6s1I

Yay 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Austria's coronavirus lockdown will end on Sunday for vaccinated people, chancellor says - REU

Our new study by Jieun Oh eric hoyeon song Miyu Moriyama et al shows that immune priming via intranasal route provides superior protection against heterologous respiratory virus challenge. The key is in inducing local secretory IgA with broader coverage. (1/) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

CDC now says it’s ok for healthcare workers to drive drunk, but only if they are going to the hospital to do maskless cpr on a Covid+ patient.

Austria's parliament has approved the EU's strictest Covid-19 vaccine mandate, making it compulsory for residents over 18 to get the shot. Soon, those without a vaccine certificate or an exemption could be slapped with initial fines of 600 euro ($680). cnn.it/32j5L6f
