Looking for fossils of North American/Russian brachiopod Kutorginella/Retaria/Marginifera/Productus lasallensis - have any? Need interiors for a study - think there are 4+ species called this name - gladly received & acknowledged.

Point of clarification - The name of the new virus is SARS-CoV-2, and the disease it causes is COVID-19 - important distinction as in HIV and AIDS. #COVID-19 #SARS

Hard to express how opposed I am to the idea of surrendering to #SARSCoV2 and hoping for herd immunity. No weak links in the chain please. Let China's success in stopping the virus be our roadmap. #COVID19

Promising Covid19 preprint- Reinfection could not occur in SARS-CoV-2 infected rhesus macaques | bioRxiv - what do relevant experts think? Let’s do some post publication peer review! ⁦Richard Sever⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper in Nature Medicine: "Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus." go.nature.com/2x2aKIn

Netherlands is home to some of the world's finest coronavirus researchers. Talk of NL herd immunity is very distressing - notably does not seem to include them. Don't give up - listen to experts please. We all win together or lose together. #noweaklinks #COVID19 #SARSCoV2

"When you go out on a motorcycle, you put on that helmet. Not because you expect to crash, but because if anything bad happens, you want it to be there to protect you. That's exactly what the vaccine is, nothing more" said Benjamin Neuman. #covid19 spectrumlocalnews.com/share/tx/austi…

Strongly disagree with this article. Kids are definitely not "like your vaccinated grandparent." Here's why: a ragey thread.

No, there is no solid evidence that Omicron is a recombinant isolate. Smart authors, I think, but this preprint is some overly enthusiastic, cherry-picked nonsense. osf.io/f7txy/ via Center for Open Science

How can you convince a coronavirus to share its cell entry secrets? Give it something sweet! 🍬 Using #cryoEM & MD, we show how a sugar-based receptor binds to the HKU1 spike and triggers opening via an allosteric mechanism (🧵). biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #glycotime #virology

A vaccine for #Zika is a long way away unfortunately, says Benjamin Neuman
