The Thesis tweet series are almost complete!!! Corrections accepted, next chapter: The defense!

Proud to be able to watch my sister's PhD defence. Lara Dutra is talking about single cell approaches on microbes!

The good side of the changes induced by the pandemic was that my family could follow me in this big achievement. My little brother from 🇩🇰 Denmark and my mom and dad from 🇧🇷 Brazil + many other friends 😍 #phdlife

Having a meeting this morning… an awesome group and a wonderful view! I wish I could be in two places at the same time…😆 #PostDocLife #RemoteWorking

CharbonnelNath BiodivERsA3 Looks like a great moment...but it's really tricky to find the #BioRodDis Santa Claus! 😋

Our latest work shows #Omicron causes symptoms that are comparable to other variants. Debating against lower virulence of omicron & highlighting the role of immunity for the less severe disease in humans. #COVID19 Tarja Sironen Teemu Smura Olli_Vapalahti biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PI: Should we add field assistants as co-authors? Co-PI: mmm... They did not write anything... You know that writing is the hardest part! PI: OK! Field assistants 👇🏿

Quem nunca…

Serological surveillance for wild rodent infection with SARS-CoV-2 in Europe biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Our #bioroddis team has been looking for viruses in wild rodents. Here is our latest work: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

During my PhD I worked on a method to facilitate #SingleCell analysis of #microbes. The idea was to be able to identify WHO is doing WHAT in a microbial community. Wanna know more?

As predicted, the coup is starting to take shape in Brazil at the moment, even before the closing of the polls. The Federal Highway Police (whose director is Bolsonaro's ally) is actively trying to prevent voters from some areas from reaching their destination.

A day full of ideas, presentations and discussions. We all enjoyed the 1st day of #BioRodDis Annual Meeting Centre Scientifique APS Paris #Paris. Great talks by CharbonnelNath #MeriadegLeGouil Lara Dutra Hussein Alburkat and others. There was also some time to try 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇩🇪🇮🇪🇫🇮🇵🇱food ☺️

😷Did you know coronaviruses aren't just a human concern? 🎬Watch the new video by BIODIV-AFREID & BioRodDis, two Biodiversa+ projects! 🔦They shed new light on virus diversity among bats and rodents, and how it is linked with global health ⚕️ #OneHealth youtube.com/watch?v=2Qk3RB…

Snow has arrived back in #Tromsø! 🌨 The last time any #snow cover was recorded was 126 days ago on June 01st. The #snow in #Tromsø is currently 0 cm deep, with the ground mostly snow-free.

The first of many? Fruitful collaboration with Victoria Queiroz and Jonatas Abrahão. en.uit.no/nyheter/forske…
