Really neat collaboration between our lab and @ROMtoronto to try and get ahead of the next coronavirus pandemic.

[Schulich WesternU @SchulichMedDent]

.@WesternU researchers are hunting for coronaviruses in bats with potential for human transmission. Teaming up with biologists from @ROMtoronto, they are examining bat samples from around the world - the first step toward establishing a vaccine bank to tackle future pandemics.

Last day in the Kerfoot Lab yesterday! I've had a great time doing some awesome science and forming friendships with some excellent people. Thanks Kerfoot Lab!
I'm not going too far, however. Next week I start an exciting COVID-19 project nextdoor in the Troyer Lab!

The origin of this story is one of my colleagues asked for an immunity explainer, and I said, "GOD NO, have you any idea how complicated immunology is, that would kill me," but then I realized that I am already dead inside, and wrote the piece.

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

How does the immune system work? Will there be #COVID19 vaccines? @BioRender & I put together ‘immunology 101 tweetorial for non-immunologists’. @jerryguartist, @shizaoki, @JungHeeSciViz also made this accompanying video. Please share widely! (1/n)
