infectious disease researcher on twitter, does this make me an influenzer? owner of many colored pens. (opinions are my own, rt=\endorsement)

while we are seeing antibody levels decline over time, seems like memory b cells specific to SARS COV2 are stable, which is indicative of long-lived immune memory. could be a better bio marker for future maintenance of immunity after exposure/vaccination! there is hope!

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Memory B cells (mostly IgM+IgD+ and IgG1+) for #SARSCoV2 S and N proteins are more stable in blood than #antibody levels for up to 8 months after #COVID19.

This is a brilliant illustration by @mugecevik This shows that if you mixed on Christmas Day and have been exposed to Covid, you may not know you have it, but will be most infectious NY eve/day. Limiting human contact will stop the spread. Protect each other #nopartiesthisyear

a great review of vaccine technology development and the biological mechanisms that make vaccines work! such important knowledge to share these days. (tag urself, i’m the soluble vaccine antigen finding my way to a cute lil b cell)

amazing thread about the implications of the mutations found in the new variant in UK! so cool how to see how far we have come in understanding specific functionality of the RBD in such rapid time

[Ceron Lab @CeronLab]

I've been reading a bit about the new #SARSCoV2 in #UK. I made a figure and this thread to better understand this #UKvariant with 9 mutations in the Spike Protein. There is a concern for 3 of these mutations that could enhance the transmission.
Be aware but don't panic.

Hey... that’s me!! such an honor to be interviewed for my favorite podcast for such a monumental episode! thank you so much to @noormal_person for bringing such a great perspective to my story, for editing my science rambling to make sense, and for her patience with my bad jokes

[This American Life @ThisAmerLife]

For our show about 25 year olds, we sent @noormal_person to report on a 25-year-old scientist who has spent this year racing to find a treatment for COVID. https://t.co/EfszyfVbbF
