A new study finds that the virus that causes the common cold effectively trumps coronavirus in the human body. What could this mean for future Covid outbreaks? bbc.in/3f3B3Sx

New research shows the virus that causes a common cold can help our bodies stop #COVID19 from spreading. It raises the possibility that catching a cold could provide some protection against #coronavirus. Prof. Pablo Murcia explains the study. Latest: trib.al/jZD1iS4

Fantastic piece of experimental work on the ecology of SARS-Cov-2 and its interaction with human rhinovirus, explained here by Pablo Murcia (he/him) with Kieran Dee, Daniel Goldfarb Jo Haney JARamat, Vanessa Herder Meredith Stewart Agnieszka Szemiel x.com/SkyNews/status…

Really proud to be a part of this very cool study. Great work by Pablo Murcia (he/him) , Kieran Dee, Jo Haney , Agnieszka Szemiel, Vanessa Herder, Meredith Stewart, JARamat, and Marc Baguelin academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…

I happen to know a LOT about the current conflict, and I still find it difficult and complex. Yet so many people people who know absolutely nothing about it seem to think it's all very simple. I'm going to stick to something easy and non controversial like Covid.

There are a few things I’d like to say: Congrats! You have seen all of the attacks on Jews in the US, Canada, Latin America and Europe. You posted an infographic or a tweet declaring that you “stand with Jews” and you stand against all forms of hate.

Super pleased to be selected as a finalist and looking forward to the meeting in September!! 🦠

#SARSCoV2 doesn't like it hot. #COVID19 involves onset of fever, raising body temp to 38-41°C; study shows that raising temp to 40°C limits replication of #SARSCoV2 in respiratory airway cultures, independently of interferon-mediated defences #PLOSBiology plos.io/3ec42C5

Very happy to be a small part of this publication! Great work by JARamat and Pablo Murcia (he/him)

Our paper is out!🎉Describing novel interactions that result from coinfection with Flu and RSV. We found beautiful hybrid virions containing genomes and structural proteins from both viruses, with very cool functional consequences (1/2) nature.com/articles/s4156…

This was an astonishing project to be involved in. Even as the raw data came from the microscope it was clear these tomograms were stunning and unusual, let alone after the 3D processing and segmentation.

Every wonder if a hybrid virus is produced when two respiratory viruses infect a cell? And what happens when they do. This is beautiful piece of work by Jo Haney & some talented others examines this phenomena.

It was absolutely unbelievable to be a tiny part of this awesome research led by Jo Haney and Pablo Murcia (he/him) at MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research SCMI What a great piece of work! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Listen to this phone call. A Gaza resident trying to evacuate southward tells an IDF Intelligence Officer about how Hamas is not letting them leave.

As I struggle to keep my eyes open from utter exhaustion, I had to share one thing with you before I put my phone down for the night. I just came back from a talk given by my friend, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg. He is the rabbi in Boca Raton Florida and he came to Israel with some of
