Let me strongly recommend that if you are indoors and not eating that you put on your mask. The positivity rate in the city has increased. st

according to cnn, you're the bad guy @elonmusk , but somehow Senator Warren's comments were ok. Looks like double standard to me

[Masked Scientist @ScientistMasked]

@elonmusk , what do you think about this cnn article? https://t.co/iS4DREl9zw

AI algorithms can now churn out predictions for the 3D shapes of proteins with a precision matching that of painstaking laboratory techniques. The programs, and the blizzard of protein structures they have revealed, are Science’s 2021 #BOTY. https://t.co/zBZlWr0fis

We’re trained to think that the cellular changes caused by aging are irreversible. I’ve seen no evidence for that

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

Using nanopore technology you can analyse any length of native DNA or RNA. It's the only sequencing tech to enable real-time analysis, in fully scalable formats — from pocket to population scale. But how does it actually work? Watch on to find out.

Looking at @IHME_UW numbers: Since June 1, 2021: 20,000 unvaccinated Texans perished from COVID19. Almost all of these deaths preventable because vaccines were widely available. A combination self-immolation + antiscience aggression from the monstrous health freedom movement

Amazed at throughput of @nanopore #PromethION, sequencing @10xGenomics Multiome single nuclei cDNA. Over 130M reads!

[Dr. Ron DePinho @RonDePinho]

Please get vaccinated because children under 12 cannot at this time. Protect the vulnerable. 🙏❤️

Luminostics, which was founded out of a lab at UH, received NIH grant to produce its COVID-19 rapid antigen test. https://t.co/nu1qKdzZAm

Interesting commentary on how our thinking about COVID-19 will need to change. After messaging how different COVID and flu are in terms of impact, the long term endemic impact will be more similar. We need to learn how to discuss risks and risk tolerance. https://t.co/rYbldyrs1U

[Leonidas Platanias, MD @LeonidasPlatan1]

There is an absolute need for universal indoor mask mandates everywhere in the country.

It is essential in order to stop the delta wave.

@EricTopol @michaelzlin @BarakRaveh @dvir_a Should have started in the US a month ago.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Over 1 million people in Israel have now received 3rd shot boosters.
So far, all indicators support they are working to restore vaccine effectiveness vs infections to high levels, suppression of new cases
Thanks @BarakRaveh and @dvir_a for posting the graphics

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Boosters to roll out to all Americans beginning next month, indexed by time from vaccination and level of risk, breaking @washingtonpost

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

The CDC needs to immediately clarify the strategy for boosting the people who got J&J. Likely a dose of mRNA. @PeterHotez

[Leonidas Platanias, MD @LeonidasPlatan1]

As the @NIHDirector pointed today, there is overwhelming evidence that masks should be used in schools.

There is no scientific controversy. It is absolutely the right thing to do to protect kids and teachers.

Cryptocurrency is one path to universal basic income.
