I have been loving my new research position at Ceragen over the past two months. Our current product is for commercial greenhouses, but I am excited to share the news that we will be expanding our product line into the consumer market.

Health Canada has released a projection based on expected vaccine supply for next year. No public health measure ever has complete uptake in a population, so vaccinations for those who want one will probably be finished in the fall, with the bulk occuring in the spring.
This is a great chart comparing the effects of the disease vs the effects of its vaccine for a range of diseases including influenza, measles, and polio. Approved vaccines are safe and save lives.

In the end, the scientists working on this worldwide effort have the same goals as you. We want schools to be safe for children. We want businesses to open and thrive. We are your neighbours and your family. Just give us a bit more time. /5
I've being seeing more misinformation than usual in the past month about SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development. I am a scientist working as a part of a Canadian team testing vaccines and treatments. Thread /1
Yet at the same time it understandably feels to the public like the vaccine is taking forever. Experiments take time. Immunity takes time to build. Cells to make vaccines take time to grow. These aspects can't be sped up. There have even been shipping delays for materials /4
I was thrilled to contribute to this gene therapy project @OVCPathobiology with Laura van Lieshout. We explored the impact that expanding the AAV8 binding capacity has on in vivo transduction efficiency. #science#research#genetherapy

@DrSimoneDouglas @AcademicChatter I changed my last name this year. Stegelmeier is more unique than Ross, so it is much easier to search for me now. I have orc ID and am not concerned with old pubs having a different name.
