Because we all know people and have friends that don’t believe in vaccines. To read and share without moderation! « Paul has measles » can save lives. A great work of Susana Lopez and colleagues. Please retweet ! Thanks. dropbox.com/s/i2j56f6qwaeq…

Amazing paper from my colleagues (Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, Florian Krammer, and @JeanKLim) showing prior dengue exposure worsens the outcome of Zika infection during pregnancy. cell.com/immunity/fullt…

Way to go Ian. Love it.

My joint PhD studentship with @MaringerLab is now online! If you fancy working at the The Pirbright Institute and University of Surrey on #arboviruses and #mosquitoes, we are looking forward to your applications. Please RT!

“Finished is better than perfect. If you do not publish something that you have worked on, you have wasted your time and your supervisor’s time and money.... It is as if you had never done the work,” This is a career (and lab) killer -nothing will be perfect - it has to be robust

Very Cool paper from Miska Lab

We are recruiting a PhD student. Interested in (mosquito) viruses, a solid background in molecular biology? Please apply/RT. radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies/6…

Isabelle was given a 1% chance of survival, but now she’s back in school and learning how to drive. Genetically engineered viruses called phages took down her antibiotic-resistant infection and saved her life. My latest for News from Science sciencemag.org/news/2019/05/v…

Just heard that Michael Rossmann passed away yesterday. He was a great scientist and had a huge influence on virology. Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

A #CryoEM technique developed by Janelia’s Nikolaus Grigorieff was put to use in a new structural analysis of four norovirus strains. Read about the study’s surprising findings. hhmi.org/news/viral-str…

The #chikungunya infection was confirmed from Reykjavik, where the three Icelandic tourists returned after holidaying in Alicante at the end of May. There is no vaccine or specific antiviral treatment, so care is focused on palliating the pain. theolivepress.es/spain-news/201… The Olive Press
