[1/7] We are happy to announce that our paper on rapid inference on antibiotic resistance and susceptibility by Genomic Neighbor Typing has been published in Nature Microbiology. See the thread 👇. w/ Bill Hanage @BillHanage.bsky.social, Michael Baym,

Article in this issue of Cell: A Deep Learning Approach to Antibiotic Discovery - zpr.io/t8977

(Observed in a labmate’s notes) I call this piece “Cloning. A mood.”

This is so cool: “Whereas in monoculture B. subtilis is tolerant and E. coli is sensitive to ampicillin, in coculture it is E. coli who can proliferate in the presence of the antibiotic, while B. subtilis cannot. “ #antithetic #behavior

Nice work by JHIDDynamics Stephen A Lauer @qifangb Forrest Jones Justin Lessler andrew azman @andrewazman.bsky.social Nicholas G. Reich using news reports and press releases to work out incubation period for #COVID19 to be around 5 days. Also that 14 day quarantine is reasonable (covers 99% of symptomatics).

It's true that #coronavirus and the flu have similarities, but there are also major differences. Dr. Daniel Leung talked to ABC4 News about how #coronavirus compares to the flu. University of Utah Health Daniel T Leung abc4.com/news/health/co…

Children infected with the #COVID19 outbreak coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, show mild symptoms but prolonged shedding of viral RNA in feces, suggesting that the fecal–oral route might play a role in virus transmission #CORONAVIRUS go.nature.com/2QdUY3Y

Let's dispel the notion that "novel coronavirus is just like the flu". Sharing this striking comparison of #Flu, #COVID19, #SARS and #MERS made by BioRender. #COVID19 is 30x more deadly and almost 2x more contagious than the flu. We have no existing immunity to COVID19.

There is a lot of talk about #herdimmunity. Vaccination is the only safe way to achieve it. In the absence of vaccine, we need to practice #SocialDistancing. BioRender made this amazing infographic to explain how a hypothetical virus spreads through the population. (1/n)

We are deeply saddened that faculty member Professor Stephen Schwartz passed away due to a COVID-19 infection. He has left a lasting imprint on our department, our university, and the broader scientific community and will be greatly missed.

Here are the encouraging results of treatment of #COVID19 patients with hydroxychloroquine bit.ly/2xU6dZ4 worthy of further use without question

Containing the virus with a two-day work week. 5 lockdown days a week. May eradicate the epidemic while maintaining sustainable reduced economic activity. medium.com/@urialonw/cont…

I know a lot of folks are wishing everyone would get on to positive things and stop perseverating on racism and the recent killings of unarmed black people. Trust me—we’ve been wishing that for centuries now. Please allow yourselves to be uncomfortable and disrupted, too.
