Can genetic data tell us about cross-protection? Check out our recent findings on PRRSV1#machinelearning #PRRSV Dr Dennis Makau Kim VanderWaal, PhD @IPaploski @UMN_swine_group journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

You seem to like my posts and cheatsheets about scientific writing! But while this cheatsheet outlines the overall structure of the introduction and discussion, it doesn't say much about how to structure a paragraph. My next post is exactly on that: franciskadevries.wordpress.com/2023/01/23/wri…

Great work by Dr Dennis Makau on #PRRS #immunity and predicting cross-neutralization amongst strains

Yay for more wildlife faculty jobs! 🦫🐇🦊🦌

#AquaticInvasiveSpecies threaten ecosystem health across MN. In partnership with UMN School of Public Health, MAISRC, Northern Research, and Natural Resources, research from Dr. Amy Kinsley at UMN College Veterinary Medicine informs approaches to funding surveillance and management efforts.
