@jgschraiber I’m so sorry Josh. Caring for aging parents is never easy, and it sounds like you’re playing on hard mode. Sending good thoughts your way

[Rachel Gittelman @RachelGittelman]

@jgschraiber I think if you’re specifically looking to do something different in industry than you did for your thesis, it’s appropriate to do a postdoc. I know people who did short postdocs to build on secondary skills from their PhD. I’m guessing it’s easier to switch fields in academia.

@jgschraiber @pleunipennings This was totally me- I loved biology but it wasn’t until I took a class in human evolution and genomics as a senior in undergrad that I realized how much programming/statistics Id need to analyze biological data. Really wish I’d figured that out sooner.

@bryan_howie @AdaptiveBiotech Thanks Bryan! Your mentorship has meant a lot to me over the past 5+ years!

[Rachel Gittelman @RachelGittelman]

I’m so excited to share that I'm a @STATnews Wunderkind! I’m honored to be among such impressive company. Big thank you to my @AdaptiveBiotech colleagues for your support.

@jgschraiber I’m confused by the type of leak. Leak of an existing strain that was isolated from humans and then subsequently released is plausible. For novel covid19, it would have to have evolved in the lab, or been isolated from an animal that was already close to zoonosis. Is that likely?

My team at Adaptive is hiring! We're seeking a thoughtful computational biologist to build machine learning models that diagnose diseases from immune repertoire sequencing data.

We’ve received @US_FDA Emergency Use Authorization for T-Detect™ COVID, the first T cell-based test to confirm recent or prior #COVID19 infection, developed in collaboration with @Microsoft: https://t.co/54mBgUEH7h

[Adaptive Biotech @AdaptiveBiotech]

Today we launched T-Detect™ COVID, the first clinical T cell based test to confirm recent or prior #COVID19 infection. Read more: https://t.co/Ddq9lKyqGn
This use has not been cleared or approved by the FDA.

@dog_rates Ohhhhhh

[Rachel Gittelman @RachelGittelman]

Great to see our manuscript on T-cell testing vs. antibody testing at @medrxivpreprint. Proud of the team for bringing this real-world data to the forefront of the #COVID19 discussion around the role of T cells as a key indicator of past infection: https://t.co/lBuf43GkcL
