🚨🚨 Our latest paper shows that IFITM3 deficiency lowers the minimum virus dose threshold for influenza and also enhances adaptation of the virus to a new species.🦠🫁 Major implications for preventing new pandemics. 😷 First author @ParkerJDenz 👨‍🔬https://t.co/XSiH6EjQKC

Excited to share our new review article published today in @mbiojournal discussing the role of viral toxins in pathogenesis and dissemination. We summarize our recent work and current literature on flavivirus NS1, SARS-CoV-2 Spike, CCHFV GP38, and EBOV GP. https://t.co/Vub77jFWlX

Please sign science community letter to congressional appropriations leaders requesting 1) a funding boost for NIH; and 2) hindrance to changes to indirect cost reimbursement. deadline: noon ET tomorrow
Read the letter: https://t.co/37z3hLJvHW and sign: https://t.co/ZT9DkPklNA.

@ArrayManta I was agreeing with you. Was referring to huberman's thinking.

[Jacob Yount @YountLabOSU]

@ArrayManta @hubermanlab @NIH 💯 Costs for using core facilities will go up and other costs will be passed along. So I'm not sure you'd end up with more money for research in the way that you're thinking.

mGems are short, thought-provoking reviews on high-interest topics in microbiology. Read the first 3 papers in this series: on #H5N1, viral entry, and the damage-response framework. #mbio https://t.co/oDvO7DvmOK

A great new mBio mGem from @Lakdawala_Lab on transmission and exposure risks of dairy cow H5N1 influenza virus https://t.co/kbq6ZyoQua

@putnamhornstein @johnarnold I have no problem with some cuts but what has been done is catastrophic

[Jacob Yount @YountLabOSU]

@RBamh1 Complete nonsense. Contract Research Organizations charge 10x for what I can do in my lab. University research is the heart of innovation in the US.

[Jacob Yount @YountLabOSU]

@putnamhornstein @johnarnold Foundations benefit from systems NIH pays for. Grants require accountants, payroll, HR, biosafety officers, hazardous waste removal, compliance officers, animal facilities, veterinarians, animal care staff, and on and on… this is what indirect costs pay for.

[Jacob Yount @YountLabOSU]

@R_H_Ebright @ClausWilke Like what?

[Jacob Yount @YountLabOSU]

@JustinPerryPhD @jaypgreene @ATabarrok foundations get the benefit of the systems paid by nih dollars. Grants require accountants, payroll, HR, biosafety officers, biohazardous waste removal, compliance officers, animal facilities, veterinarians, animal care staff, and on and on… this is what indirect costs pay for.
