Was sad about the lack of regalia but... I think I made it work #pandemicgraduationchic #homemaderegalia (the #cattoytassle really pulls the whole look together IMO)

So many fascinating molecular virology questions begging to be asked and answered surrounding NSSVs and DVGs! Go have fun playing with Paramxyos in the Lopez lab- I know I did!

I am the new mBio Minireviews Editor/Viruses section! Calling on all virologists to consider writing a minireview on an emerging topic of wide interest. If interested, please DM me. Virology trainees, tell your PIs about your ideas and get in on the opportunity.

One of the best parts of science is undoubtedly the people. Grad school was partly so fun bc I got to hang out every day with incredible lab mates who became great friends. We had a Lopez lab alumni zoom reunion today and look how happy everyone is to hang out again!

Pleased to announce that Lark Coffey and I have organized a virtual Virus Evolution seminar series for the fall semester. Mondays: 3-4 pm CST Registration: umn.zoom.us/meeting/regist… Please RT

It’s been two+ months now that I’ve been a post doc in @UW_GaleLab, i think it’s finally to I change my Twitter bio! It’s been a weird time for a big life transitions but I’m happy to be starting to feel settled in in Seattle!

If you love mentoring and science writing/editing this is the perfect opportunity! I’ve volunteered with JEI for a year as an editor and reviewer and it’s so fun to get to be an editor while also encouraging young scientists! Apply to volunteer! (Happy to answer any Q’s)

Psst! Hey you! Yes you! Do you love innate immunity? You think viruses are cool? Want to learn about interferons? What if I told you we want you to contribute to our research team? Join us! bit.ly/2Lbl7B0

An exciting post doc opportunity! The Sun lab is tackling fascinating and exciting virology questions surrounding DVG generation and negative sense virus replication. And Yan is an amazing scientist and mentor, I was lucky to work with her for 6 years and learned so much!

Congratulations Dr. Valeria M. Reyes Ruiz !!! A well deserved recognition for a passionate inspiring scientist (and wonderful friend!) So excited to watch you continue to accomplish great things!

Interested in virology? Like working on multidiscplinarybapproaches to study emerging pandemic threats? The Lakdawala is currently hiring a postdoc and technician! Interested? Check us out lakdawalalab.com/positions/

BioBus is hiring! Are you a scientist? Want to light up a thousand minds a month with science aboard a state-of-the-art mobile microscopy lab? Does hanging around with kids and an electron microscope sound like your idea of a good day? If so, you'd be a great fit for this job...

Thrilled to announce that the Dept of Pathobiology Penn Vet has a Tenure Track opening in the area of infectious disease/immune response to infection! If interested apply here: apply.interfolio.com/97840. We are super excited to recruit the next generation of colleagues! Please RT.

Fantastic opportunities in my twitterless colleague's lab here at Wash U. Please RT.

Had a great time at my first positive-strand RNA virus meeting! My first in-person meeting as a postdoc and working on positive-strand viruses! Feeling excited to get back to lab and looking forward to many more #lovevirology #KSRNAVirus22

Everyone go read this excellent work by the inimitable Nandan Gokhale ! It’s been so fun to watch this project come together over the past few years. A little less viral RNA than I would like 😉, but exciting nonetheless!
