Have spoken with several smart people recently who just joined twitter for the educational benefits -- substantial in med/science! -- but they wisely want to avoid the ugliness. Here's a great guide, I consult it frequently! (Replace "art/writing/culture" with "study")

Very interesting summary of the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in TB disease and future prospects for host-directed therapies presented by Dr. Kit Dkhar from the @RengarajanLab at the @Emory_TB_Center #WorldTBDay symposium.

If you see success as a zero-sum game, life becomes a series of cutthroat competitions. You reach the top by taking others down. If you see the possibility of mutual benefit, your goals shift from crushing the competition to making a contribution. You rise by lifting others up.

Not yet sure about importance of wastewater monitoring in this pandemic? This tweet was from Early days of Omicron. #COVID19 virus has given us a unique gift by shedding into wastewater - enabling monitoring with high efficiency approaches. We should use it - everywhere.

Monitoring wastewater for viral load estimates outbreak size In just a few weeks, in Pretoria S. Africa (north of Johannesburg) viral load detected in wastewater has reached similar levels as the peak of Delta This at least indicates that transmission may be remarkably swift

Thank you to @PaulSaxMD for being my pandemic sanity check! Just when the snark and vitriol consuming a difficult scientific debate with conflicting data have me feeling low, he delivers another thoughtful and nuanced piece on the issue. twitter.com/PaulSaxMD/stat…

Incomplete protection from prior infection isn’t what any of us want to hear. But as we’ve learned again and again, wanting something from this virus doesn’t make it happen. Latest: Prior Covid Is No Guarantee of Immunity blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa… @TheBlondeRN @ashishkjha
