Fantastic point. This is why I'm excited to bring my trainees (and myself) to conferences once again.

Interested in how viruses repurpose and manipulate cellular gene expression machinery? Looking to work with a creative, fun, diverse, and motivated group of scientists? Check out our postoc position opening in the Glaunsinger lab at UC Berkeley/HHMI here: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

Wow! New paper for discussion in RNA viruses lectures.

Like basically everything I’ve seen Malone claim about vaccination, this is false, but this claim is actually very common even among those with expertise in public health and I’ve even seen it in epidemiology textbooks, so I think it’s worth examining for a moment.

Life's eternal dilemma: do I work on this thing now that's due tomorrow (it will take me 2 hours), or do I wake up 2 hours early to do it? I know I know. It's a trick question. Because I'm going to sleep early AND wake up late.

Props to Richner Lab for critical contributions… and a lot of days together in the BSL3 😅

Very excited to have the annual AAI conference in Chicago for 2024. The American Association of Immunologists (AAI)

Just updated and expanded: our massive database of postdoctoral fellowships. These are all fellowships NOT attached to any specific university. We include description, $ amount, deadline, field, and eligibility criteria. Download it here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…

PhD interview season is ramping up. Interviews will be new to most applicants, so here's my attempt to de-mystify the PhD student interview (my opinions only): 1) Be yourself. Don't be afraid to show your personality. (But do remain professional.) 1/9

Great advice to those prepping for grad school interviews.

Live tweeting the VRBPAC meeting in this thread. See here for materials and meeting live: fda.gov/advisory-commi… Also I have an errand to run during the break/public comment period so I can't cover that.

If anyone is curious about what drives vaccine public health policy, this thread is a good window.

Congratulations to Ally Bennett on her first author publication! In this paper, we probe the cause of age-dependent susceptibility to viral infections. Stromal cells in the lymphatic tissue are critical to coordinate an antiviral response. doi.org/10.1111/acel.1…
