It's out in Cell!!! Super proud bug- and structural virologist moment; my paper about using CryoEM to discover, diagnose, characterize, and mitigate a nationwide agricultural pandemic is now published online 😄🐛🪲 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

So Jeremy Farrar asked for an "explainer thread" on Noble Prizes in Chemistry around AlphaFold and Protein design, so here goes.

My paper about the cryoEM-based superworm virus discovery is featured in This Week in Virology! Thank you MicrobeTV youtu.be/CZkIaPjCIKs

In researching the class I'll present this week I am reviewing the story of James Watson, Nobel Laureate for his work on DNA structure and a prominent leader in our community for decades, including a leadership role in the Human Genome Project 1/n

A fascinating & refreshing read on the topic of what kinds of recombinant viruses are safe & worth making / authorizing. A razor sharp mind cuts through an unnecessarily cloudy debate. Jonathan Yewdell writes so lucidly. #Biosecurity #Virology pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We are recruiting up to 5 Pandemic Sciences Research Fellows at University of Oxford. Posts are for recent graduates to carry out independent research on topics in one or more of the following areas: AI & Epi, Genomics, Climate & Infectious diseases, Global health digital data science ↓

There are ~40k postdocs in the US, according to the NIH. While PhD students generally have good support (their committees, external advisors, and classmates), the postdocs do not. To help with this, we're starting the 'Postdoc Night Science' club with a first branch in NYC. ⬇️

Science friends heading to the Other Place 🌌—let’s not lose each other in the void. Over the next few weeks, I'll try to put together some science "starter packs" of who to follow. Fill out this form to be included. bit.ly/sci-starterpack Share widely ❤️

The secret sauce for starting a new lab is to set up the right kind of culture; one that best enables innovative science with its “enthusiasm, lucid criticism, nonconformism, and friendship” (Francois Jacob)

Excited to share our new study in nature! We uncover how the vascular glycocalyx—a carbohydrate-rich coating on blood vessels—plays a crucial role in brain health and aging. A Tony Wyss-Coray & Carolyn Bertozzi labs collaboration. 🍭🧠 #glycotime (1/12) nature.com/articles/s4158…
