@Lilykate_mc This is the least surprising news I have heard this week.

[Sam Palace @samanthapalace]

New from me & @DrKoupenova: we know that #platelets in the blood can sense pathogens, trap them in clots, and activate innate immune responses. So how do bacteremic pathogens get around them? Pathogens like, for example, #plague (#BlackDeath)? A thread:

Inequality and shortcomings in public health (pre and during COVID) are central to ongoing protests against systemic racism. An open letter from CCDD led by Tigist Menkir outlines how precautions and police responses can improve to accommodate protests: https://t.co/iCU8S4ildg

@Lilykate_mc @juniorroome Clue is a foundational movie and not to be overlooked, I applaud its placement as an honorable mention

@samanthapalace continuing the lab's most important work.

I spent years developing my wet lab skills. I'm not about to let them atrophy during this period of lab closure #COVID19 #SocialDistancing #MondayMotivaton

@EricMcAdamsUgh u trying turning it off, then back on again?

I'm an infectious disease scientist who isn't working on #COVID19 research. This is an important reminder that people like me can support our communities in other useful ways. Boston folks may want to check out @Gr8BosFoodBank

As news reports begin to express concern about mutations in #nCoV_2019 I wrote a piece with the great @XuetingQ to help the public make sense of mutations and evolution - including what sequence can tell us, and what it can't https://t.co/CgSqnPBChF
