This tweet is a great example of Good Scicomm because it is well sourced and describes science and the topic in a way people without scientific background can understand! This is a great small study about Psilocybin and its ability to decrease depression symptoms. #BMS525

Existing antidepressant drugs don’t work well for an estimated 30 to 50 percent of the people who try them; when they do work, the effects can take weeks to kick in. Psilocybin might be a powerful alternative. https://t.co/X5dlpyhmGe

Could we have another gene editor in our midst? New evidence shows that retrons, like #CRISPR, are part of the bacterial immune arsenal that protects against viruses called phages. https://t.co/I6J8wOuFRl

This is an interesting article about the potential side-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines.

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

Though neither of the two #COVID19 vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer showed safety concerns in trials, some experts say the public must be made aware of the potential for “unpleasant but not dangerous" side effects, including fever and aches. https://t.co/9xHlkDPjdJ

Didier Raoult,a French -professor, is accused of spreading false information about the benefits of reading COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine. This professor has influenced opinions based upon incorrect information. #BMS525 #badCOVIDnews

An interesting, small study! Psilocybin, found in psychedelic mushrooms, has decreased depression symptoms in patients. #BMS525

Dr. Drew Weissman, a professor and scientist working at Perelman School of Medicine, states the two possible vaccines for COVID-19 are about 90% effective with mRNA-based vaccine technology. Super interesting read!

Drew Weissman of @PennMedicine, whose work is a key factor helping to enable two vaccines in late stages of testing, sheds light on the biology behind them and on his predictions about next steps in vaccine development and approval. https://t.co/TtzaLm9QSg

Check out the latest @dkbmed episode of #Covid19 where Dr. Auwaerter interviews @MichaelGIsonMD about #influenza in the Southern Hemisphere, distinguishing #influenza from Covid-19, changes to the #testing procedures for flu season, and more. https://t.co/grSV6DRXhl
