The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

Jail sentences for scientists who made #CRISPR gene-edited babies - "Three accused did not have the proper certification to practise medicine & in seeking fame & wealth, deliberately violated national regulations in scientific research & medical treatment"

@simren_gill Some handy tips for heading back into academia...

[Alex Carisey @alexcarisey]

I always forget to ask that first

@stroud_lab Congrats Matt!

@FromPhDtoLife Do not underestimate your soft transferrable skills when selling yourself. You may nail that PCR every time but can you communicate effectively with your peers, can you manage multiple projects at once and do you have positive impact on those around you?

Moving to an #OpenAccess world where no research is behind a pay-wall is the most effective way of ensuring that the research we fund can be accessed, read & built upon. We’re making changes to our policy to achieve this 📖https://t.co/GO0HCLZMFA

@yamashitaflylab @VirusesImmunity Having said all that I feel like #scitwitter has come a long way! I’m no longer in academia but I follow many academic friends and ex-colleagues who openly discuss methodologies and results on this platform. Kinda makes me proud but wish it was more like this back in my day!

This is EXTREMELY important on the ongoing fiasco of the #CRISPRbabies

If this is correct, it indicates that the procedure is even more morally poisonous than we had already established.
