Do sheep, or other domesticated mammal species, outweigh all wild land mammals combined? Which fraction of the global weight of mammals is wild? Our journey into the global biomass of wild mammals is out @PNASNews
Biomass of Livestock Dwarfs That of Wild Mammals: A team headed by Prof. @RonMilo3 found that the biomass of livestock has reached about 630 million tones โ 30 times the weight of all wild terrestrial mammals and 15 times that of wild marine mammals>> https://t.co/3NrRxQhZLB
1/ Our preprint, โProtection Across Age Groups of BNT162b2 Vaccine Booster against Covid-19โ is out https://t.co/i3QhqLHWqA. A collaboration with @IsraelMOH, @TechnionLive, @HebrewU and the Gertner Institute.
The booster efficacy paper from Israel is now out in NEJM. TL;DR: the booster reduced rate of confirmed infection by a factor of 11.3, and rate of severe illness by a factor of 19.5 (both are compared to being vaccinated with 2-doses) (thread)

1/ Our preprint, in collaboration with @IsraelMOH, @TechnionLive, @HebrewU, @KalksteinNir and the Gertner Institute โBNT162b2 vaccine booster dose protection: A nationwide study from Israelโ is out https://t.co/yx7OpKgaSu
1/ Despite over a billion viral particles in the lungs of an infected person, all SARS-CoV-2 viruses in the world have a total mass of ~1 kg. โThe total number and mass of SARS-CoV-2 virionsโ presents a quantitative perspective @PNASNews
https://t.co/FYhKBVCt57
During peak infection with SARS-CoV-2, a person carries between 1 billion and 100 billion virions with a total mass of no more than 0.1 mg, suggesting that the sum of all virions currently in human hosts could have a total mass up to 10 kg. In PNAS: https://t.co/nHkwe7goK5
Iโm excited to share our new paper with @segal_eran, Anat Achiron, Gal Perlman and colleagues from the @segal_lab, published in @CellRepMed, in which we provide a comprehensive list of microbial and metabolic therapy candidates for Multiple Sclerosis. https://t.co/jx9lYH0vts
A retrospective analysis of data from the Israeli Ministry of Health collected between 28 August 2020 and 24 February 2021 documents the real-life effect of a national #vaccination campaign on the #pandemic dynamics. @segal_eran@ShalitUri@GorfineMalka
