@florian_krammer @DrNeilStone Um.... Lentiviruses? They belong in the nucleus.... But Ivermectin doesn't do anything to them either :-)

@DrNeilStone LOL, of all RNA viruses I can think of only influenza has any business in the nucleus. Most of the other ones - including hantaviruses - replicate in the cytoplasm. I recommend Fields Virology to Mary. It is helpful to understand the basics.

RIGHT ON CUE 😫

@NEJM Cat scratch fever!

A 72-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 2-day history of an itchy rash on his back. On physical examination, edematous, flagellate plaques and linear patches were present across the patient’s entire back and upper buttocks. 1/2

@phylogenomics Between 5 and 10

@Smedley4 Do you know what it costs?

@phylogenomics 27F/1492R.

@phylogenomics For isolated bacteria we use Eurofins. Overnight turnaround... not sure how price compares to what you've been using.

@RVirologist Seems like we need an atlas paper studying virus-infected IFNAR mice!

Three more atlas papers. Is Nature sponsored by 10x Genomics now?

@HiddenTrueCrime @NateNewsNow Any thoughts on potential charges for MP and ZP?

Dr john and I make an appearance with our podcast @HiddenTrueCrime & @NateNewsNow does his incredible journalist thing!

@318Glenn @mbeisen @harrison_ritz @NeuroPolarbear @Adrian_Jacobo @dakotahawkins20 @theodora_nyc @eLife I think a common takeaway.. "@eLife is doing something weird regarding the review process. We'll let it play out and not submit there, and not agree to review for them, until the consensus has been achieved".

@mbeisen @harrison_ritz @NeuroPolarbear @Adrian_Jacobo @dakotahawkins20 @theodora_nyc @eLife Guys, I don’t understand all these concerns so early on! it is a great idea that could potentially solve a major issue in the publishing process! Give this model a chance (and I mean more than 8 weeks!!) and stop complaining before you even see the outcome.

So is this what the revolution that @mbeisen promised for @eLife comes down to? Instead of more papers being sent to a larger number of reviewers for evaluation a smaller group of editors will get to reject most of them prior to review?

#Lableak proponents taking a victory lap based on a low confidence opinion from the DoE, do so prematurely

@RVirologist I'm not even sure you're a virologist... Pop quiz... which is the best interferon?

Many of you have tried to guess my identity. Today, I drop a major hint: I may or may not be an author on this article... journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

@RVirologist Aren't letters of support basically name dropping?

So many people have been name-dropping me in their grants that NIH/NIAID had to put out a warning.

@EricTopol @RutgersCABM Ugh… cross sectional samples….

Disruption of the gut microbiome by Covid infections link.springer.com/article/10.118… by Martin Blaser and colleagues @RutgersCABM

@RVirologist Hrm..... IFNa??

In addition to single cell proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, my lab is now using machine learning to identify factors important for SARS-CoV-2 infection. You'll never guess what we found.

@BrodskyIgor Karaoke COVID?

😢 mild symptoms so far. Incredibly grateful for #vaccines.

@RVirologist I'm not sure the retraction is super helpful.

Just prepping slides for my next HHMI talk... 36260608 35862681 32416070 35030645 34544114 35762884 35114688 35857620 35780162 33147444 32353252 32514174

@ThatEricAlper Fade to black… Metallica

@ATinyGreenCell @HarmitMalik Mountain Dew Code Red.

What's in @HarmitMalik's flask? Wrong answers only.

@RVirologist Hrm... I'm not sure how well known Mauritius is... Most people who know it use their Cynos.... Maybe giving a hint to your identity?

As a trained PhD virologist, I have several top-notch recommendations for how the government of Mauritius should be run and how Islamic Studies should be conducted.

@AshleyGWinter Um…. Viruses!

Why are so many people trying so hard to tell me urine is sterile? Do so many people feel like their life & self worth is dependent on urine being sterile? Be open to new information, folks. Your world will not crumble if urine is not sterile.
