Shout-out to the newly minted Dr. @brent_allman and Dr. @m_a_martin from the @KoelleLab. Congratulations 🎉!! It was great to see the amazing work you guys have done and will continue doing.

@OscarSMata Felicidades Dr. Mata!! Abrazotes

We’ve created calculator that aggregates deep mutational scanning data to estimate how mutations to #SARSCoV2 RBD affect recognition by human polyclonal antibodies. The calculator emphasizes extensive antigenic change in #Omicron variant. https://t.co/hFhwcKED0o (1/n)

Katia’s lab members here who have temporarily* taken over control of the lab twitter, we’d like to congratulate our relentlessly hard working, exceptionally intelligent, and remarkably supportive leader Dr. Katia Koelle who was just promoted to Full Professor @EmoryPBEE! 🎉

Almost done with the altar to receive all my loved ones that have passed away. You are and will be missed every day.

I admire the courage of the four women scientists that denounce how one PI at a major research institution in Mexico, @Langebio, sexually harassed them. (1/2)

I'm honored and completely overwhelmed by the recognition from @macfound and @HHMINEWS. Flexible funding with a multi-year commitment is the professional scientist's dream and I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity. 1/4

@HarmitMalik @HutchBasicSci @DukeU @arvind_rasi @memerman @UWM3D Congrats Maria! Best of luck :)

I even struggle changing my mindset to write scicomm. In English shorter sentences are preferred. In Spanish that is considered bad writing, in many cases commas are preferred.

Why does a particular pathogen infect some age groups more often than others? And why do different pathogens, some even closely related, have different age distributions of cases? A thread about our new paper published today in @NatureComms 🧵(1/14) https://t.co/c660n7y6Ip

[Rachel Oidtman @RJOidtman]

Working with @KatieMG, @PhilAArevalo, @QifangB, @LaurenRMcGough, @CJRussoJr, @Diana_DVC1 + @Marcos___Vieira we review how differences in early influenza infection histories lead to birth-year associated differences in susceptibility (cohort + imprinting effects)

1) Finally this it out. It took a few years of my life to get this into clinical trials (with the help of many others). A first step towards the clinical development of universal influenza virus vaccines. With Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, Peter Palese.

Great piece on vaccine allocation with some insight from our postdoc Molly Gallagher, who is working working in collaboration with @B_Lopman and @andreashandel’s research groups on quantitative models to answer these questions

Third year matching with a pre-scientist penpal through @LettersPreSci. To add to the excitement, we share an interest in viruses!

Our study of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence of pregnant women in Philadelphia was published today.

9.7% Black and 10.4% Latina women seropositive
2.0% White and 0.9% Asian women seropositive

It is time to take actions to address these inequities!

@Blankette Si me pasa! El laboratorio donde trabajo esta trabajando en covid. Yo no lo estoy haciendo directamente pero mi familia me pregunta acerca del tema. He tenido que practicar como explicar los avances de forma honesta, sin elevar expectativas y que sea entendible el riesgo.

Do US citizens understand how stressful it is to be an immigrant scientist in the US?

Far from family/friends, never ending visa bureaucracy & payments, constant fear of not being allowed back in the US, or being forced to leave your home/job/PhD due to some ban
