@RobertPdeVries1 @UUBeta @UUUIPS @UU_Glycoscience @WardLab1 Hi Rob, disappointed to see that the colorfulness is not reflected in the (mostly black and white) figures. 😇 See e.g. the colorful paper of “the other” R de Vries in 2017. 🌈
https://t.co/X2iWdZwWk1. But congratz on the work anyway!

Reminder that it is still possible to register your spot on the course in virology at @ErasmusMC!

The FDA has approved the first vaccine to prevent RSV in babies via maternal immunization https://t.co/LBKfo5w9ZL
For more on RSV vaccines, this news article covers the basis for this advance and the other landmark approvals for adults earlier this year https://t.co/izGMX1bNNR

Fantastic news about RSV vaccines but over here in UK in 2023 we can’t even maintain adequate levels of MMR vaccination… Rise in UK measles cases causing concern https://t.co/vftq9O4Bvm

Our study on the pathogenesis of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus (PPRV, a close relative of measles virus) in goats is now out in the Journal of General Virology. Great collaboration between @WURbvr and @ErasmusMC!

Celebrating the life and mourning the passing of Dr. Sam Katz. Although he was as big as giants get in science & medicine, he made me feel seen, known, and appreciated as a trainee and young faculty member. The impacts his life had on our world are mind boggling. @Duke_Childrens
