Turns out @MicrobiomDigest is going to visit us at Microbiology to give a seminar on her image forensics. Hope there will be some interactive 'find the fraud' session as well.
Looking forward!

@BenHalePhD Does this come with an extra Postdoc position for 2024?

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

@MicrobiomDigest This can't be real. It's shamelessly obvious. Who on earth waved this through?

Chinese Censorship Is Quietly Rewriting the Covid-19 Story
Under government pressure, Chinese scientists have retracted studies and withheld or deleted data.

@MicrobiomDigest @microRNApro That moment when the letter "i" alone discredits one's entire ability to think and read. Well done @MicrobiomDigest ! Splendid response.

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

@allostericstate Sterilise the plasmids or is it before baculo infection?

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

@SesmaLab @CMarizzi @florian_krammer Oh my. That's great. I am curious what is next!

While the response was fast in Tanzania, it wasn't fast enough in EG

⚠️ BREAKING:

The Marburg virus outbreak in Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶 becomes the third largest Marburg outbreak in history.

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

@MikeCapone15 @KrutikaKuppalli Doesn't seem to be under control yet and tracing isn't going so well either

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

Just when the Ebola situation was a little under control we now have Marburg in Tanzania

[Krutika Kuppalli, MD FIDSA @KrutikaKuppalli]

Last week #Tanzania reported 7 cases of people with fever, vomiting, bleeding and renal failure, 5 died.

Today the MOH announced the cases are due to #MarburgVirus

This is the 1st #Marburg outbreak in #Tanzania

@HmpxvT I would love to hear the thoughts of @EOSaphire about this.

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

@florian_krammer Marburg and Ebola have been ruled out apparently. Marburg would make sense due to proximity but maybe it's a Lassa or Congo etc?

[Michael Scherm @MJScherm]

Marburg and Ebola ruled out. Maybe it's Lassa?
Or something new and horrifying.....

We went on a short lab excursion today to see Flaco in Central Park. And got lucky.

@KrutikaKuppalli Oh, yes. I forgot about that!
Do we have a comprehensive (public) list of disastrous viral outbreaks such as Marburg for the entire world? (Mostly asking on behalf of everyone interested)
