Do you think you've had long-term GI problems since having Covid? We are performing a study examining the characteristics of viruses, specifically persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections, in stool samples. 1/3

Today Elliott Kieff was put to rest. Elliott was an amazing researcher and a mentor to me. He picked me up when I was at my lowest, ready to give up on myself. Thank you Elliott for everything you have done for me, it was an honor working with you

Please join me and @AmitSharmaOSU in Palm Springs for this fun #retrovirus meeting with a fantastic line up of keynote speakers, including Priyamvada Acharya Rahm Gummuluru Yong Xiong Lab !

This was a great opportunity for our group. I highly recommend.

Unless I have overlooked something a number of entries have a notable lack of date and geography information.

For truth driven researchers the message should be received loud and clear. Obfuscate to protect profit at all levels. Are H5NX nucleic acids or proteins present in the food supply? Let's crowd source this one!

WHO says the risk of H5N1 bird flu is "evolving with the virus and needs real-time monitoring." "WHO and partners are asking countries to rapidly share information to enable this."

For the record, the CDC flu dashboard is nice, and I'm glad they are posting the information. I don't necessarily think that there needs to be a parallel H5 test run on every sample, but testing samples that are suspiciously high for it seems appropriate. cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/h…

"“With the first case in Michigan, eye symptoms occurred after a direct splash of infected milk to the eye. With this case, respiratory symptoms occurred after direct exposure to an infected cow." freep.com/story/news/hea…

Won't you be my neighbor? Center for Vaccine Research is hiring! Our research is more broad than our name suggests. If your interests are in the neighborhood of microbiology consider applying.

Into the infinity of thoughts

Renovation vibes

Hello folks! With exciting new grants and new projects in our lab, ✨we are hiring!✨ Please share with prospective Ph.D. students and/or postdocs interested in evolution, genetics, and microbes!

Jingle all the bays.....

However, if you’ve had GI issues for the last three years and you live and Cleveland but you occasionally visit Akron and Dayton, I have a free and confidential study you can enroll in to find out if this is you. 21/ x.com/SolidEvidence/…

Happy to share our work describing the generation and characterization of a replicating recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus that encodes for the dairy cattle H5N1 glycoproteins. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Using a VSV with 2344b HA and NA mean experiments with bovine H5N1 can be done at BSL2. virus grows to high titers and encodes a fluorescent reporter, works across various assays. 👉journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…
