On being a data journalist: Taking the data that’s available (because it's public record), but not in a format that the public can understand it, and make it into something the public can understand. "Data liberation!" Lylla Younes

This tweet will go down in history. The shared sequence led to the template for the Moderna vaccine and, soon thereafter, the BioNTech SE/@Pfizer vaccine. And in the same year, very high efficacy and safe vaccines ready to move onto vaccination programs.

What do you get when you cross two gas giants? A cosmic kiss! Jupiter and Saturn will meet in the southwestern sky after sunset on December 21. The two planets haven’t appeared to be this close since 1623. Photo: Pete Lawrence

Skywatchers, you're in for a once-in-a-lifetime treat! Jupiter & Saturn are doing a planetary dance that will result in the Great Conjunction on Dec 21, just after sunset. Find out: 🤩 When and where to look up 📷 How to photograph the conjunction Visit: nasa.tumblr.com/post/637859420…

My first tweet of 2021 is going to be about 1 dose vs. 2 dose vaccine. I have tweeted in the past of the immunological advantages of a 2 dose vaccine. However, given the enhanced transmission variants on the rise, we need a modified strategy. (1/n) theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Israel: We say with caution, the magic has started Note blue lines, of 60+ years old (first to vaccinate), in the past 2 weeks: ~35% drop in cases ~30% drop in hospitalizations ~20% drop in critically ill Stronger than in younger people & not seen in previous lockdown >>>

Excited to be attending AND covering my 1st AD/PD - Advances in Science & Therapy conference - it's my 1st conference reporting for Alzforum! #ADPD2021

Tomorrow can't be #AprilFoolsDay because as far as anyone knows it's still March 387th, 2020.

New: 6 months follow-up of Pfizer vaccine trial in 46,000 participants 927 Infections: 850 placebo, 77 vaccine, 91% efficacy 22 severe infections: 21 placebo, 1 vaccine, 95% efficacy cnn.com/2021/04/01/hea…

A year ago I tried the Moderna vaccine to see if it was safe. (Spoiler: It is!) Now, on my #COVIDvaccine anniversary, I’m happy to share that I just got a 3rd dose. This booster experiment will reveal (1) if strain-adapted vaccines boost immunity & (2) whether they are safe.

Meet the woman who labored for years on the technology underpinning Pfizer and Moderna's mRNA coronavirus vaccines. Many scientists thought her ideas were unworkable. But a few saw real possibilities.  nyti.ms/2RuuD59

MY RECOMMENDATION TO INCOMING INTERNS: Before intern year I made a survival bag for my backpack so that I was prepared for some of intern year’s difficulties. Do it. It has proven to be SO USEFUL. Here are my recommendations to make your own little bag:
