So...since they can be trusted with our Tiramisu, I am excited to try Udon Shin - the famous Japanese Carbonara Udon place that has just opened its doors overseas in Singapore, at Takashimaya Mall! Let's go! eatbook.sg/udon-shin-sing…

Two Italo-Japanese news items to report: First, it turns out that after me, the world's best tiramisu maker that did not enter the competition, Japan is number 2 and the rest of Italy is number 3??!!!

I am thrilled to share that I will be joining @Cornell as a T-T Assistant Professor to start my own lab this November! #NewPI. Our group will study virus-host interactions with the goal of promoting preparedness. We will soon be hiring at all levels. @CornellPathogen @cornellvet

Now officially published @Nature . Led by the one and only @FinkelYaara. By engineering HCMV to express sgRNA libraries directly from the viral genome, we developed VECOS (Virus Encoded CRISPR-based direct readOut System).

Wrapped up the European sabbatical month with an excellent @GordonConf on NPC and EBV in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. Outstanding science and great to meet many new colleagues including the excellent groups from @dukenus, NCC Singapore, and Sun Yat Sen Cancer Center among others!

Third leg of European sabbatical trip in the books! A week with the outstanding Christian Munz and colleagues @UZH_en Incredibly rich and vibrant environment for virology and immunology - particularly for studies of EBV and MS

@HarmitMalik Congrats to all. And come check out the wild world of highly co-evolved herpesviruses at Duke. Lots to learn... just sayin'

These 5 wonderful scientists (from left: Ashlyn Anderson, Sierra Simmerman, Andrea Carroll, Eva Alleman, Wendy Sun) are leaving us to go to their dream graduate schools (see sweatshirts) in a few weeks. Bittersweet news for us but we are so delighted for them. Watch out world!!!

Great catching up with Luftigre alumna @EmmaBonglack in London today for fish and chips and to hear the exciting work she's doing as a @SchmidtFellows on the human genetics of anemia in understudied populations.

Congrats to my colleague @TobinLab for the well deserved election to AAM! A true basic scientist discovering genetic regulators of mycobacterial infection in zebrafish as a lens into human infection biology.

I wish we could properly celebrate our new pre-print. A transformative, viral centric screening approach that facilitate high resolution dissection of human proteins' role along CMV infection cycle. Tour de force of excellence, creativity and persistence by @FinkelYaara
Yaara Finkel@FinkelYaara

Our @SGinossarLab virus encoded CRISPR screen is online on bioRxiv tinyurl.com/VECOSbioRxiv We established a new platform (VECOS) for screening infection factors, where an sgRNA library is encoded in the viral genome, uncovering hundreds of host factors, and more. >>>
