@BeFreeEF @ScienceMagazine There is data. Probability of contracting long COVID decreases with vaccine and also with later versions of the virus. However, it is not zero, even with omicron and vaccine. You can simply look it up.

@ScienceMagazine Is ther a difference between unvaxxed and vaxxed? An why there is no data for. It?

Long Covid affects people of all ages and includes a myriad of post-acute and long-term adverse health effects caused by the infection. ⁠ ⁠ A 2024 #SciencePerspective highlighted the efforts made to understand this public health concern, what is known about the condition, and its wide-reaching effects on the risk of developing other chronic diseases. ⁠ Despite increasing knowledge of the mechanisms, epidemiology, and prevention, several challenges remain. First, the care needs of people experiencing Long Covid are consistently not met, and patients are often met with skepticism and dismissal of symptoms. Second, the lack of consensus on terms, definitions, and clinical trial endpoints for Long Covid, as well as the lack of animal models that can capture the breadth of Long Covid phenotype, are slowing progress and hampering the discovery of drugs that could improve patient health.⁠ ⁠ Addressing these challenges would not only provide insights into Long Covid but also other infection-associated chronic illnesses that have underappreciated long-term health impacts like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).⁠ ⁠ Learn more on #LongCovidAwarenessDay: scim.ag/3DCyV2Q

@therealaskilroy @ScienceMagazine Prevalence of long COVID decreased both with the vaccine and also as the disease progressed. So, the largest group was before the vaccine was available. Also, getting vaccinated does not drop the rate to zero, only reduces the probability of getting long COVID by one-half.

@ScienceMagazine I’d like to know the percentage breakdown of “Long Covid” patients who received ANY covid vaccine (1-?) vs. those who did none. I bet that’s an interesting statistic.

Protocol Spotlight interview with Brittany Walters regarding her @PLOSONE Lab Protocol paper: "Longitudinal imaging of the taste bud in vivo with two-photon laser scanning microscopy"

@Davide8Arvedi @Liz_Cheney No it is exactly what everyone was expecting and what 47% wanted - an end to democracy world wide.

@Liz_Cheney This is not what people were expecting, it's a shame 🤦

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

NIH-funded research has proven track record of fueling economic growth & discovery. Joined RI health care leaders to push back against Trump Admin’s proposed NIH cuts that would put jobs at risk, harm the economy, and needlessly delay breakthroughs & new life-saving treatments.

We examined a taste neuron type that responds to stimuli of similar hedonic value rather than a single stimulus.

I am so proud of Alvine, an undergrad in my lab, presenting her work at ABRCMS.

I ❤️ 🧠!!

Congratulations to my former graduate student, Zach Whiddon, on the official publication of his Plos Biology paper.

Important program for highschool students. Thank you Dana

After many wonderful years leading psychobiology and neuroscience at UVA. I wish Dave and Peter a wonderful retirement. Cheers!

Thank you, Yanina for a wonderful AChemS.#AChemS2023

Thank you Yanina. Nirupa did all the work on the symposium. I am proud of the talk given by my graduate student, Zach Whiddon.
