My 1st first-author manuscript is out in @eLife! This project started back in 2019 with the question “what makes a viral protein evolve a new function?” A thread:

. @ShanleyRoach is the winner of the @umncbs 3 minute thesis competition!!! Super proud. She is also on the postdoc market!

[Anice Lowen @anice_lowen]

The Lowen Lab is recruiting post-docs! Join us at Emory University, Atlanta, to do exciting fundamental virology on influenza A viruses. Major research areas include viral evolution, transmission and virus-virus interactions.

@TheMenacheryLab @timothysheahan @Baric_Lab That should have been the free space…

[The Menachery Lab @TheMenacheryLab]

It’s been 987 days since the last #bingo with @LangloisLab.

And while I usually don’t do bingo when I’m off campus, I made an exception for when the OG @Baric_Lab is in town.

[Andy Vaughan also on bluesky @vaughandy]

Excited to share that our paper on injury-induced lung tuft cells is out now in @eLife! This is the fruit of an awesome collaboration with @lab_xin. Congratulations to the all authors, especially co-first authors @barrjamie and Marilena Gentile! https://t.co/WOs4A8YE54 (1/2)

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

We also provide some suggestions for standardization/ways to cross compare these powerful new models. All of these models have huge strengths and I am excited to see where they go next! 3/3

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

Thrilled to share a new review article from our lab and @JessicaFiegePhD in @MicrobioSoc JGV on the impacts of eliminating natural mouse virus from traditional lab mouse experiments: https://t.co/qbiKp5XgMx

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

We discuss how viruses (and other microbes) from several exciting models (wild mice, dirty mice, rewilded mice, wildlings etc) impact homeostasis, disease, and subsequent infections. 2/3

@dsilvayala Wow thank you!! This meeting has been so scientifically reinvigorating!

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

@YountLabOSU Thanks for including us! Really excited to see the next phases of this project.

[Jacob Yount @YountLabOSU]

Our new paper in Science Advances led by Adam Kenney showing that direct infection of cardiomyocytes by influenza virus drives cardiac complications of the flu. Special thanks to @LangloisLab for engineering a cardiomyocyte-attenuated virus. ♥️🫁🦠🐁https://t.co/IPIDMffSqS

[Keir Balla @keirballa]

I'm looking for RAs & scientists to help launch my lab @czbiohub! We discover and deploy zebrafish viruses to capture infection dialogs with visual and molecular precision. Join us in illuminating virus infection biology in toto. https://t.co/LDzTzaI0BI or contact me directly

@NNJarjourPhD @jakob_moltke @ShanleyRoach @JVirology Thanks! @ShanleyRoach may reach out to discuss. I think she has a dirty mouse exp in the works...

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

Delighted to share a new story led by @ShanleyRoach out now in @JVirology https://t.co/cgDwna5887
We sought to evaluate the role of tuft cells during acute influenza infection. There were lots of fun surprises along the way... 1/5

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

@TheBcellArtist @ShanleyRoach @JVirology Thanks Ali! And congrats on your new Nature paper! reading it now.

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

@jakob_moltke @ShanleyRoach @JVirology We thought changes in bacterial metabolites during infection may have been responsible for the increased tuft cell numbers but 16S suggested this may not be the case...

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

@jakob_moltke @ShanleyRoach @JVirology We tried this in dirty mice but had difficulty getting good cell recovery because of the intestinal thickening in dirty animals. We need to optimize our digestion protocols for these animals. Would love to hear your thoughts/advice!

[Ryan Langlois @LangloisLab]

@ColinP3 Thanks Colin! Hopefully we can catch up in person at a meeting soon!
