BREAKING - 10,890 SRs voted in our Strike Authorization Vote, and 97.5% of them voted yes. @UCPrezDrake and @UofCalifornia, are you paying attention?

But what the business class travellers fail to realize is that the plane will only take off after ALL passengers board and have their seat belts on. As long as there is vaccine INequity, this pandemic will not end, neither for the rich, nor for the poor.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The covid catastrophe that's engulfing India and other global South countries could have been significantly mitigated had the US, UK and Europe not repeatedly refused to suspend vaccine-related patents. People are being sacrificed on the altar of "intellectual property".

[Dr. Michael D. L. Johnson @blacksciblog]

To be clear, if Black people did this, they'd have been shot dead.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Hold up.

The accidental low dose in the AstraZeneca trial was because Oxford insisted that NANODROP was more accurate than qPCR?!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wow, goosebumps!

The first person vaccinated in NYC is a Black woman receiving the vaccine from another Black woman against a virus that has disproportionately killed Black Americans due to systemic racism.

Thank you nurse Sandra Lindsay and the clinician vaccinating her!

[Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. @KatherineJWu]

Hundreds of millions of coronavirus tests have been run in labs across the country since the pandemic first hit.

Behind every single one of those tests is a team of people. I wrote about a few of them, and the herculean efforts they've put in. 1/

You there in a mask, on a train...
You look hella good 👍

Thanks to my network, I hired an amazing RA for the molecular biology position in my group.
I continue to search for an experienced scientist or senior RA (REQ-453) to contribute to SARS-CoV-2 animal studies in the BSL3. Please RT. 🙏

[Renu Kumar, PhD @renu_scientist]

Just don't gather. Wear a mask. That's it.

If 25 people gather in SF, odds are 34% that at least one has coronavirus: New tool shows risk https://t.co/vQM9znqgfh

Our updated preprint on mobile RT-LAMP testing is now available - nearly 500 tested (spoiler: we’re now over 600 after M-W of this week). https://t.co/9Vpm1LzQhL

NEW: @UofCalifornia plans to sue the Trump admin over new @ICEgov visa guidelines that would force international college students to leave the country if they’re enrolled in online-only courses

(1/n) Excited to share Handyfuge-LAMP; a low-cost & electricity-free centrifugation for isothermal SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva. With COVID19 cases increasing globally, diagnostics needs to be accessible to everyone - including resource limited regions https://t.co/3T5qaEWFp9
