Those planning on travelling for Easter or spring holidays in the EU should be aware that current incidence and mortality levels in the EU are 25-30 times higher than they were in July last year. Travel safe if you must.

Story of a 66-year-old researcher, an immigrant, who rarely got grants, never got her own lab, never earned more than $60K. For four decades, she kept working on mRNA—a path considered foolish. Her work is the basis for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. nytimes.com/2021/04/08/hea…

NEW: B.1617.2 is fuelling a third wave in the UK, with not only cases but also hospital admissions rising. Vaccines will make this wave different to those that have come before, but it remains a concern, and one that other countries will soon face. Thread on everything we know:

Knowing a lot about a research area and having the skills to be a great leader are not the same thing. Academia would be so much healthier if we stopped conflating these things.

Immunity in people who have had COVID-19 and get a vaccine is a fascinating topic. There are really impressive immune responses! I discuss this in Science today, particularly highlighting recent discoveries. 🧵 science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

At this point, you are either vaccinated or you are going to catch Delta. And whether you are young adult or old, when you catch Delta unvaccinated, you will have the highest chance of being hospitalized compared to almost any disease you have caught in your life.
