If you live in/around the PNW you know there is no tortilla chip god other than Juanita's; I apologize to the rest of the country for your lack of access

Check out this thread from Bloom Lab discussing their preprint, the final version of which has just been published at PLOS Pathogens. Read it here: plos.io/3mvgLTJ

Right-wing conservatives are here to convince you that murder is an appropriate response to property damage, but property damage isn't an appropriate response to murder.

We've written a perspective on a new study by Miguel Ángel Muñoz-Alía that helps explain why some viruses (measles) don't evolve to escape immunity but others (influenza) do. Provides some clues relevant to future for #SARSCoV2 as well: cell.com/cell-reports-m… Here is a recap: (1/n)

Wow… I’m in tears. 🥺

This is the best explanation of the Covid Vaccine I’ve ever heard.

Some thoughts on the evolutionary trajectory of SARS-CoV-2 so far, how it compares to other viruses, and what might happen next... 1/

Sign up for our Global #COVID Lab Meeting with Dr. Jesse Bloom of Fred Hutch Cancer Center on Thursday, January 27 at 10:00 am EST. Dr. Bloom will speak about "Interpreting the Evolution of #SARSCoV2.” Sign up for the webinar: bit.ly/2ZYNyX5

New work led by Tyler Starr of the jbloom lab at Fred Hutch found that the ability to bind #ACE2 — a crucial trait in species-jumping coronaviruses — could be a more widespread possibility than previously thought. bit.ly/3HsSjvF

Happy #WomenInScience day! I study coronavirus evolution at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Bloom Lab. Today, I’m grateful for the female scientific mentors I’ve had who made me believe I could be a scientist. I hope to follow in their footsteps and inspire other young girls to be #WomenInSTEM👩🏽‍🔬

Preprint out on work with Allie Greaney! Always a pleasure getting to work together on #SARSCoV2 🦠

I would like everyone in science to read the painful, poignant description of what, exactly, Sabatini did to women under his mentorship. It should make you sick to your stomach. I don't think I could still be in science if I'd faced any of this. docdroid.net/IbuM7VK/search…
