To think that just two years ago, we witnessed brutal, pitched battles in the streets and wanton use of state force against this population that we now see rejoice in the streets. Wild.

"Protein structures are things of beauty, with their complex web of intricately positioned and interlocking elements that fold up precisely to generate a particular biological function" - Ian Wilson youtube.com/watch?v=Nouv3L… #protein #structures #Influenza

As an editor, I can't tell you how many times I see cover letters where I just ... wonder? The first impression is the most important one, and too many times - it's not the best impression. How to write a compelling cover letter: a thread. NB: These are my views and mine only!

Very proud to see my friend and former colleague - Wilson Endege, from my post-doctoral studies at HMS in Boston, bringing his vision to reality and building self-sufficiency in East Africa with #DaktariBiotechnology youtube.com/watch?v=fIREL5…

Rabi Abonour @Why_Not_Bikes of Portland Bureau of Transportation has a great quote like this: “Riding a bicycle should not require bravery. Yet, all too often, that is the perception among cyclists and non-cyclists alike.” portlandoregon.gov/transportation…

Cyclist Daniel Bertini's killer was doing 125 kph in a 60 kph zone then fled on foot. That got him two years and a 5 yr driving suspension. Can cyclists be any more expendable in the eyes of the law? jnyyz.wordpress.com/2022/03/16/dan… #vulnerableroadusers #cycling #murder

A slap in the face. These are the consequences of Cllr Farr's motion. How exactly does increased funding for enforcement even begin to solve houselessness? What could become possible if $400,000 was redirected to social supports? When Hamiltonians cannot afford market rent?

New pub showing that potent #toxin-neutralizing #antibodies can be obtained from naive #synthetic libraries. One step closer to recombinant, oligoclonal anti-venoms. Thanks to our collabs in the Tropical Pharmacology Lab at the Technical University of Denmark! #syntheticbiology

Thurs in #HighPark a motorist used his vehicle to assault & intimidate a cyclist. These common incidents lay bare the fallacy of the cyclist menace. High Park should be closed to motor vehicles Ward 4, Parkdale-High Park. Ticket/charge dangerous drivers Toronto Police not cyclists going 24km/h

Our diabody paper was just published today! Thanks to Shane Miersch and Dev Sidhu for the beautiful and fruitful cooperation! Ultrapotent and broad neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by modular, tetravalent, bi-paratopic antibodies cell.com/cell-reports/f…

A cyclist was killed today in Toronto. An awful view into the reality of road violence that wages on. Sending love, feeling rage/sadness.

It would seem that, like early attempts to #patent BRCA1 and 2 genes, an #epitope is - as #SCOTUS concluded, a "product of nature and not patent-eligible merely because it's been isolated" Patenting epitopes would chill #innovation and #competition nature.com/articles/d4158…
