Enormous Congrats to the Good Dr. Messing! Shortest PhD deliberation in history. I couldn't be prouder of you and wish I could take credit, but can't...it was all you.
Well....okay....maybe I'm at least a good judge of talent...

Today is #WomeninScienceDay, which recognizes the enormous contributions that women make in #STEM, & celebrates their excellence as trailblazers & researchers.
We spoke with 3 CBR women scientists, who shared their stories & love for #science with us.
🧵A thread #WomenInScience
Omicron is not a Pokemon-style "final evolution" of SARS-CoV-2. It's still mutating rapidly, including in the spike protein, and with the amount of replication it is doing out there right now, we can expect new variants. Hoping is not a strategy. Giving up is not a plan.
To all the exasperated doctors and epidemiologists who saw this winter's COVID wave coming and wish that more had been done to prepare,
We understand how you feel.
Signed,
All the climate scientists
Thank you so much for the incredible mentorship @KMcNagnylab! You helped me discover a new passion and a bigger world. Super excited for what’s to come!
Some great words of wisdom for grad students in this interview with Sam Shin. Love his take and enthusiasm on curiosity, discovery and after hours discussions on science....
It was a ‘heartbreaking’ scene as some cancer patients were forced to get out of cars & walk through a majority of unmasked, angry crowds in order to make their appointments.

Now that my family and I have been vaccinated, I’m turning my attention to the global majority who aren’t so fortunate. Govt of Canada will match donations. #GiveaVax https://t.co/AWddDmabzq
Breakthrough infections are uncommon. However, you can get #longcovid from breakthrough infection. We don’t know how frequently long covid develops in fully vax people because CDC is not collecting such data. It is dangerous to get breakthrough infections. Please #vaxandmask

Thank you for the great conference @CdnImmunol and the organizing committee!! I’m super grateful that I was able to express my research interest with so many phenomenal immunologists. See you next year in Halifax!
Sincere congrats to Sam Shin on the poster award and to the entire lab for their presentations at @CdnImmunol ....you folks always showcase our science beautifully and I am eternally grateful!
