OUT NOW: Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in the murine central nervous system drives viral diversification

@jacksonlab @RuthMontgomery1 @AgingCell @duyguucar Very nice study! Serendipitously we identified AP-1 genes including Fos/Jun uniquely upregulated in the lymph node stromal cells of aged mice. Out in the same issue @AgingCell. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…

New in @AgingCell, JAX's @duyguucar lab & colleagues profile cell & immune tissue types in long- and short-living mouse strains, finding transcriptional activation of AP-1 Fos/Jun/Junb gene families as the most significant & conserved signature of aging: jax.org/news-and-insig…

@stef_witha_f It's a upstate NY think too a town called Cairo is pronocue Kay-ro
English
Talking to a colleague about East Palestine, they asked why the town was pronounced that way and I got to explain the great Midwest tradition of naming a town after another, more well-known place in the world but giving it a different, confounding pronunciation

Congratulations to Ally Bennett on her first author publication! In this paper, we probe the cause of age-dependent susceptibility to viral infections. Stromal cells in the lymphatic tissue are critical to coordinate an antiviral response. doi.org/10.1111/acel.1…

If anyone is curious about what drives vaccine public health policy, this thread is a good window.

Live tweeting the VRBPAC meeting in this thread. See here for materials and meeting live: fda.gov/advisory-commi… Also I have an errand to run during the break/public comment period so I can't cover that.

Great advice to those prepping for grad school interviews.

PhD interview season is ramping up. Interviews will be new to most applicants, so here's my attempt to de-mystify the PhD student interview (my opinions only): 1) Be yourself. Don't be afraid to show your personality. (But do remain professional.) 1/9

Just updated and expanded: our massive database of postdoctoral fellowships. These are all fellowships NOT attached to any specific university.
We include description, $ amount, deadline, field, and eligibility criteria.

Props to @LabRichner for critical contributions… and a lot of days together in the BSL3 😅

📣Could vascular aging make the brain more vulnerable to COVID-19 and LongCOVID? Age❌infection = more BBB leakage, T cell infiltration, and neuropsychiatric impairment. 3x⬆️BBB Caveolin-1 and ⬇️ protective Wnts appear to contribute. Preprint! Mice! #NeuroTwitter👇

Life's eternal dilemma: do I work on this thing now that's due tomorrow (it will take me 2 hours), or do I wake up 2 hours early to do it?
I know I know.
It's a trick question.
Because I'm going to sleep early AND wake up late.

Like basically everything I’ve seen Malone claim about vaccination, this is false, but this claim is actually very common even among those with expertise in public health and I’ve even seen it in epidemiology textbooks, so I think it’s worth examining for a moment.

Wow! New paper for discussion in RNA viruses lectures.

New in Science: An extensive evaluation of ocean #RNA sequences from waters worldwide has identified thousands of previously unknown RNA viruses—doubling known RNA virus phyla—including some representing a “missing link” in RNA virus evolution. fcld.ly/zxrztk9
