"Rice’s research directly contributed to a cure for hepatitis C, an aggressive disease that affects 170 million people worldwide. His lab worked on the virus for three decades and became the first to produce a version of it that could be cultured and studied in the laboratory."

@pollyp1 @RockefellerUniv "Rice generated an RNA variant of Hepatitis C…pathological changes resembling those seen in humans with the chronic disease were observed…the final proof that Hepatitis C virus alone could cause the unexplained cases of transfusion-mediated hepatitis."

>@realDonaldTrump gave what is on the surface an anti-China speech at the UN--but listening to his Chinese counterpart speak, Trump's speech did China & Xi a favor by allowing China to present itself as the more responsible country, one that believes in international cooperation.

@CellCellPress Further evidence of the impact bacteria have on the human gastrointestinal system.

“A subset of identified changes in microbial metabolites correspond to host physiological mechanisms that are relevant to IBS.”

ICYMI: At core of #drugresistant bacteria issue - antibiotic system isn't broken, we must rethink R&D & shift industry focus to new modalities that are innately different. #Exebacase #DLA leads w/ new candidates & Ph3 DISRUPT. Transformation = innovation

@DanRather Totally agree. @NaomiOreskes covers this topic on pg 144 of chapter 2 in her latest book, stating: “...demographic diversity is a proxy for perspectival diversity...”, which improves the process and pace of scientific discovery. https://t.co/Da74qKYcSS
