@TheFunVampire_L @kedgie @MitchWheeler19 @JBreezyBurner @SethMacFarlane No, you don't know how to take a scientific approach. There has already been an enormous amount of data showing these vaccines are safe and effective. That you can't understand that is a reflection on you, not on the enormous effort the scientific community has taken on.

@_oppenheimer007 @JRubinBlogger No, she said that 40% of all republicans are saying they will refuse the vaccine, making up almost the entire 20% of the entire population who say the same.

@weinberz I remember putt-putt and Carmen SanDiego🙂

@FenGar @brettcpollak @UCSanDiego This is why testing frequency and turnaround time is so important. As you point out, a single test is only a snapshot. This paper shows with modelling how varying the frequency and turnaround time affects the % of infectious people that are identified https://t.co/5XfjE7w6NF

@hollybell54 @kentuckyjazz @IlhanMN The relief bill was tacked onto the omnibus spending bill. None of this other funding is part of the relief bill.

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

@ColonelUSAR @RepSusieLee @Blynn1Lynn What you're calling pork wasn't in the relief bill, it was in the spending bill that funds the government for close to a year.

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

@banjerpicker @allenequincy @santiagomayer_ You're confusing the stimulus with the omnibus spending bill it was tacked onto. This bill will also fund the government for close to a year, and such foreign aid is found in the white house's proposed budget.

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

@bighuppdaddy73 @santiagomayer_ That's the spending bill the stimulus was tacked onto, not the stimulus itself.

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

@RyanWhitacre5 @santiagomayer_ The stimulus was tacked onto the spending bill. Foreign aid was not part of the stimulus. This is a very important distinction.

@erik_graul @_JeNene @Garrett_Lee1994 @MeSoDeplorable @santiagomayer_ Except in this case, unfortunately. If Congress adjourns before that 10 day period, the bill dies in what is known as a pocket veto. https://t.co/g4Apm6Db3i

@LynnJoh71918052 @ZarinIRahman My partner is a PsyD, good luck and congrats on all your hard work!

It’s truly hard to imagine that we would be in this moment right now - hundreds of thousands of people are dead and we still don’t have any sense of remorse in this current administration. We have lost so much in the last four years. VOTE! VOTE! Plea from a fellow scientist!

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

@_emmarosewest The feeling is definitely mutual!

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

I successfully defended my PhD thesis today, focused on retinal development 🙂

@SusannaLHarris I was a soccer referee, but I'm pretty sure waitstaff receive much more abuse...

One of her last wishes was for her position to be filled by the next President. I'm not sure we ever deserved such a selfless person.

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

RGB has passed away. I feel I can't even fully process the tragedy of her passing, and celebrate her amazing life and her contributions to our society, due to the threat of the hypocritical GOP, with McConnell in the lead, now in a position to ram through a nominee

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

Keep in mind, they refused to allow Obama to appoint anyone for almost a year before the election. This is rank hypocrisy, support #AmyMcGrath2020

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

@_emmarosewest Haha, I'm actually doing the final read-through now, but I hear there'll be this ridiculously cute puppy in the lab, so I'll be around 😉

[Brian Rabe @BrianRabe6]

So this was pretty cool! You can hear my PI, Connie Cepko, and I, as well as the amazing Manu Prakash, discussing our rapid SARS-CoV-2 test, and what we need to do to get rapid tests like this deployed, on BBC! https://t.co/nN4DwknTBV
