New paper alert 🚨
Check out our latest article about #social interactions in #herpesvirus populations via #glycoprotein variants, available now in @Virus_Evolution. Thanks to everyone involved, also to the very supportive reviewers who definitely improved the manuscript!

I know not everyone will have time to do a reread of book #1 before The Strength of the Few releases (3.5 weeks to go!!), so for those interested, here's the link to an ‘interlude’ I wrote - a bonus chapter that serves as a recap for The Will of the Many:

Gonna present some exciting work on mutation rates, population bottlenecks and defective genomes. Come and see me later today for my flash talk and poster presentation at #IHW25 in #Berlin.

[Thomas Höfler @Hoef_Th]

I‘ll present my poster on „Rapid glycoprotein evolution enables variant interactions in Herpes Simplex Virus type 1“ on Thursday 17th of July at #ASV2025 in #Montreal. If you are looking for me though, due to severe weather I‘ll only arrive tomorrow 😬. See you guys tomorrow!

[Thomas Höfler @Hoef_Th]

Been there, was amazing!

[Joe Abercrombie @LordGrimdark]

And with today’s final date in the spectacular Wentz Concert Hall Naperville my US tour for the Devils is done…

[Joe Abercrombie @LordGrimdark]

Turns out the Devils is a Sunday Times number 1 hardcover bestseller. Just saying.

The final version of our work is published!
We developped a viral gene drive against HSV-1 and showed that it spread efficiently during infection in mice

Very happy to have this one published in @Nature today!! 🤩🤩 Can we dig deeper into the intricate and ancient evolutionary history of the flaviviridae by comparing not only genetic sequence but also protein structure? answer is yes!!

My lab is hiring!
We're looking for a post-doc or lab tech to work on an NIH-funded project studying the basis of strain dependent reassortment potential in flu viruses. DM for more details or *any* questions.

*Postdoc alert*

What do internal conflicts in biology and economics have in common? 🧵

We are looking for someone with a background in philosophy/economics to explore this with us (@PattenLab, @ArminWSchulz, @MASchenkel).
