We’re still buzzing from Commencement!

We asked our new PhDs: How does it feel crossing the stage and what’s next after @ScrippsGradPrgm? 🎓✨

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

I'm shocked a lot of doctors don't know about this newer flu antiviral drug called Baloxavir (XOFLUZA)... that shortens your flu illness by 33%, and reduces your viral load by day 2, versus what a placebo takes 5-6 days to achieve. Baloxavir also seems superior to TAMIFLU (oseltamivir) for smashing your viral load on 2 day, achieving what takes Tamiflu 3-4 days. CDC even lists Baloxavir on their website as one of the top 4 drugs that it tracks whether it works against new flu strains (it works)

Oregon has just delivered a new chapter in our ongoing saga of negligence.

Raw feline pet food contaminated with the B3.13 genotype of H5N1.

We are one mutation away from human-to-human transmission of H5N1 (bird flu).

New @ScienceMagazine from my @scrippsresearch colleagues on H5N1
A single mutation can increase the virus's binding to human receptors, highlighting the need for rigorous surveillance

[Simeon Babarinde @Babsimeon]

Thrilled to be part of this highly significant research revealing how a single mutation in bovine H5N1 influenza can switch its specificity to human receptors. This highlights a potential pandemic risk that demands vigilance.

[Scripps Research @scrippsresearch]

Published in @ScienceMagazine, scientists at Scripps Research have uncovered a mutation in the H5N1 “bird flu” virus that enhances its ability to bind to human cells—emphasizing the need to monitor H5N1 to prepare for potential pandemic threats. More: https://t.co/qZDPG0XB7z

Paper just out in Science. We are one mutation away from Human-to-Human transmission of #H5N1 #BirdFlu
We are so screwed...

[Rick Bright @RickABright]

Together, these data show recent H5N1 viruses are evolving increased receptor binding breadth which could impact the host range and cell types infected with H5N1.

This is exactly why it’s critical for @USDA @USDA_APHIS to release all virus data for review, including metadata.

[Scripps Research @scrippsresearch]

Scientists @ScrippsResearch & @EinsteinMed have developed molecules to stop the #fluvirus before it infects you. 🦠 Published in @PNASNews, these inhibitors target the virus at its earliest stage, showing promise as a new #vaccine alternative.
