We are witnessing the destruction of science in America | Paul Darren Bieniasz
If we stay on this administration’s course, future life-saving medicines may never be invented
I could literally quote every single sentence of this commentary, so I'm not going to - just read the whole thing.
And thanks, Dr. Bieniasz, for saying it as it is and showing true leadership. We need that from more scientists and scientific leaders.

If someone—or something—is infected with both #birdflu (H5N1) and seasonal flu (H1N1), the viruses can swap genes through reassortment. Scientists are watching closely, as this genetic shuffle could create a new strain with unpredictable traits—like easier human transmission. More: ow.ly/aoeA50VxSwG

Can we use social evolution to fight pathogens? @asgriffin.bsky.social and I review the evidence for 'cheat therapy' in bacteria and viruses...

How does enterovirus protease specifically recognize its viral RNA genome?
Hint: It takes two!

Viruses, metabolism, lipids, mass spec, herpes (both 🦠 and 🦎, but not reptile viruses).
Plant roots are the best! We study diverse and crazy cell type developmental programs at cellular resolution in plant roots. We have a special focus on those that make the plant more resilient in extreme stresses.
