@DaniBeckman I spent more than a month to renew my visa for a conference that I really want to go. And my visa will expired in a year
English
Many people have no idea how these things work.
For example, right now, as a Brazilian, I can't accept invitations to speak at conferences in Europe because my visa to work in the U.S. has expired.
I am not illegal; I have a work contract with the University of California until 2027. Still, I must travel outside the U.S. and get a visa stamp on my passport to allow me to move freely to talk about science.
I have to do this every single year I stay in the U.S. The costs of the visa, traveling, time lost, etc, are all on me. Not every international scientist can handle this.

This is a reminder that international scientists face various hurdles and citizenship in some countries is worse than others. I had 2 students miss 4-6 weeks this year JUST to renew their visas (India and China). (have to admit that global south was confusing, coming from NZ)

Using pre-build pipeline is advantageous, but getting error message without knowing what’s going on behind the scenes freaks me out!

Sharing some new experimental data on BA.2.86:
1) BA.2.86 is antigenically distinct compared to XBB.1.5.
2) BA.2.86 can significantly escape XBB-infection/vaccination induced antibodies.
3) However, the infectivity of BA.2.86 may be much lower than XBB.1.5 and EG.5. (1/n)
