Thanks @SaraSuliman13 and team for a wonderful, virtual lab tour today as part of this year’s @CambSciFest !

“In the analogy of the campfire, our current pandemic is a big, raging one. We might not have enough water to douse it completely...but the water we do have will still help,” writes @sarahzhang in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/nJ4GDqYjjs

"...no one is chasing a zero-risk life. In fact, that is a mirage," writes @VPrasadMDMPH in @medpagetoday. Lots of interesting points in his blog post, but this one sticks out to me as a major challenge of 2021: how much risk can we tolerate? https://t.co/7c43EhMXa7

[Haley Bridger @haleybridger]

Love seeing encouraging signs from recent wastewater analysis work from @BiobotAnalytics https://t.co/1IS1Fg621j

[Haley Bridger @haleybridger]

Yes. Most recently, I was dreaming about being in a spin class, and suddenly panicked when I realized I wasn't wearing a mask...and had never taken a spin class before.

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

Anybody else having mask dreams?
You're in a place with a lot of people and you realize no one is wearing a mask. And you aren't either....

I'm personally ready to move on to vaccine dreams.

“Don’t ignore these standard risk factors when you’re young, because they’re very important," says @SamiaMoraMD about diabetes among young women and risk of heart disease. Read more in a story by @Ashley_LizWelch in @EverydayHealth https://t.co/zwpv03SjL9

In @statnews: "scientists generally don’t get trained in public communication...this calls for a new area of focus for us, for med schools, for Ph.D. programs — that we need to teach people how to do this well and in a trustworthy way." -@meganranney https://t.co/MEnBXSgx3V

[Haley Bridger @haleybridger]

Some great points from @JuliaLMarcus
in @TheAtlantic . Vaccines provide protection, but they also provide hope. Stripping that hope away could cause harm too. https://t.co/MtKbidPUxG
