Any ideas what might happen with existing NIAID grants or submitted applications? Or how might this be related to study section cancelations?

Very cool!

A new preprint is out at bioRxiv! Here we performed round-robin pseudovirus experiments using 53 sarbecoviruses and ACE2s from 17 mammals to elucidate the ACE2 tropism of sarbecoviruses in natural hosts🦇, potential intermediate hosts🦫 & humans👤 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you Lefteris for inviting Dr. Harmit Singh Malik for a talk at Emory University! Honored to have a great scientist, mentor and educator visiting us!

Together with talented Visiting Scientists from Democritus Univ of Thrace🇬🇷: Maria Gaitanidou and Nick Kesesidis. Pizza-party-day to celebrate Maria's last day in the lab, before leaving to start PhD studies at Max Planck Institute in Germany. Thanks and best of luck Maria👋🙏!

Isabella Kaufman (accepted-Yale grad school) and Rachael Lee (Med School applicant) are the latest distinguished Lab undergraduate Researchers who we will be missed dearly as they move on to exciting careers! (Two of my ~140 academic children😄)🥳👏👋👋👏👏😁😄
