This is a cautionary tale of how anti-Spike antibody may make COVID disease worse. In this study, the authors show that anti-Spike IgG made SARS-CoV disease worse by switching macrophage from wound-healing to proinflammatory phenotype. A thread (1/n)

See below for a registry of scientists to potentially be pulled upon to help run diagnostics. Please RT. This is put together my a scientist at the Broad Institute but just as a citizen, not in an official capacity. https://t.co/EJVnVfvtg2
An amazing story. If you take BCG, a 100 year old vaccine given intradermally with limited success, and give it intravenously, it induces robust T cell and antibody immunity that is highly protective (9/10 protected) against tuberculosis! #GameChanger

Excited to share our new paper on the role of nutrition on alphavirus disease severity, transmission, and evolution! A great collaboration with all of the great people @institutpasteur in the @VignuzziLab !
Want to quickly check what PRRs do in multiple sclerosis and EAE? It is actually pretty surprising that some of them are protective in CNS autoimmunity. https://t.co/3Gc391xc5h #MSResearch#InnateImmunity#MultipleSclerosis
Somehow managed to listen to 90 hours of audiobooks in the last three weeks and loved every minute of it! I would be a third of the grad student I am without podcasts and audiobooks, haha :D
Hey #ASV2019!
A job opportunity for an enthusiastic virologist interested in moving away from the bench but staying close to the science. You could be the next member of our team!

Is there life on the Moon? No, but 50 years ago we didn’t know the answer to that question. Take a look inside the lab where our researchers tested Apollo 11 Moon samples for signs of life in this historic, never-before-seen footage: https://t.co/BCRWreOAdp #Apollo50th
