Does anyone have experience with benchtop systems that manufacture LNPs for mRNA vaccines?

Another fantastic ASV! So much fun to hang out with brilliant people and talk science.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

“In 1900, 30 percent of all deaths in the United States occurred among children younger than 5, mostly because of preventable infectious diseases. By the end of the century, that number was just 1.4 percent.” #VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives #ACIP

I particularly love the beautiful pathology, produced by Dr. Kerry Goldin, and the contrast in cytokines and chemokines, work that was led by Dr. Sarah van Tol.

Enhanced neurotropism of bovine H5N1 compared to the Vietnam H5N1 isolate in C57BL/6J mice npj Viruses - Enhanced neurotropism of bovine H5N1 compared to the Vietnam H5N1 isolate in C57BL/6J mice

The first manuscript by my lab has been published🥳🎉

We investigated disease progression in B6 mice inoculated with bovine H5N1 or VN1203 via aerosols. Interestingly, although virus replication in the lung was similar, we observed drastic differences in neuroinvasion and pathology.

Time to catch up on the past week’s news about science and medicine in the US. Whew. 1/10

🚨Job alert 🚨

I am looking for an enthusiastic & talented postdoctoral researcher to join our research team in Hamilton, MT, USA.

If you are interested in
🦠 emerging respiratory viruses (BSL2-4),
🔬mucosal immunology, and
🐁 in vivo studies,

I really relate to this 😂😁😳☹️

Maybe people are using more complex stats, or alternatives like the Mann Whitney?

As usual, Edward does an excellent job summarizing complex and persistent inaccuracies.

Project focuses on intranasal vs. intramuscular vaccination, utilizing flow cytometry, multiplex imaging, & possibly single-cell RNA-seq. Start date: late summer 2025.

I am hiring a talented, motivated postbac to join our lab studying mucosal immunology & respiratory viruses. Learn more about the NIH Postbac Program here: www.training.nih.gov/research-tra... Reach out if interested or know someone who might be!

74 other poultry farms?? 😳

In reality, the risks of side effects from a measles-mumps-rubella vaccination are vanishingly small, especially compared to the devastating effects of measles. 2 dosages provide 99% protection to disease.

Hearing from a source:

"A friend at NCI lost 3 outstanding staff (their words) and tweeted about it. She was suspended for 2 days. No idea how her tweet was flagged."

This is for all the people asking us why it's hard to tell what's happening at NIH. Retaliation is real.

The good thing about Science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe in it.

This is sick

You should try worLdle as well.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

The Trump NIH is banning hires of new students and postdocs. This is devastating for NIH research and will result in a lost generation of researchers at the institution.

Heard from a applicant today: "A lot of people are banking their entire careers on the [NIH student programs]..."

Trump tried to lower NIH indirect rates in his 2017 budget and that failed to pass. This is a reminder that everything he tried to do through legal means in the first term will be attempted again through illegal means. He will only succeed if we let him.

What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

Shoutout to all of the exceptional Black scientists who have contributed to and are currently contributing to virology research! Your work is vitally important to understanding basic virology controlling viral diseases worldwide! #BlackHistoryMonth

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.
