@mbeisen It’s easy to administer, you just place small audio speakers next the mother’s stomach. It’s detecting the embryo’s responses that is more challenging to capture.

BA.3.2 is such a creeper. Here are the wastewater detections from roughly the last month. It's still mostly in the Northeast.

I hope this data source doesn't go away, but I'm afraid it probably will.

@ChristosArgyrop Why, do you have an infection of helminths you wish to treat?

[Marc Perry @mdperry.bsky.social @mdperry]

@CaraLisette 2/2, BUT: cranky discomfort and rigid abdomen + gas/cramps, would appear postprandial (him). So NOT what you’re describing (I think). I know it sounds flaky—I am a trained biochemist. But 1/3 of ours had this so Mum reducing dairy and switching to soy formula helped. Cray-cray

@CaraLisette IF: you are breast-feeding, AND your own diet includes dairy products from cows, THEN: there is a small, but real, probability that his GI tract is irritated by the digested peptides from the food you ingested, that got processed, and show up in your milk (circa 2000). 1/2

@CaraLisette So much “Adulting” in that tweet

[Marc Johnson @SolidEvidence]

Here are the BA.3.2 wastewater detections (just the ones submitted in the last week).

@CaraLisette So, everything is “good?” Mom is doing well post-op and junior has 10 fingers and 10 toes?

[Marc Perry @mdperry.bsky.social @mdperry]

@CaraLisette Sounds good. Ours are currently 27 (RN in Toronto), 25, and 20 yrs old, so most of my knowledge is possibly outdated. A good friend/colleague’s daughter in Virginia just tuned 1. I’ve provided tips on roadside diapering protocols thus far.

@SolidEvidence My anecdotal evidence (USA) in the past 6-month window is that not all states are devoting proportional resources for sequencing SC2. e.g. Lots of cases (not this lineage) in NE. Does that mean people there need to be more cautious or does it mean NE is sequencing more?

I am excited to share that, as of April, I have joined the Graduate School of Life Sciences at Tohoku University as a Professor and have started a new lab. I would like to sincerely thank everyone at Hiroshima University for their support over the past nine years.

@ChristosArgyrop For SARS-CoV-2, we have a nightly job that pulls in any new sequences from GISAID and NCBI, so if you want that metadata I can set you up. I haven’t used BioPerl for much of anything since ~ 2013 (but used it all the time 2008-2013).

[Marc Perry @mdperry.bsky.social @mdperry]

@CaraLisette So much “adulting” in that one sentence! No judging, you do you. Babe and Mum doing well? Ten fingers, ten toes? Good APGAR?

@CaraLisette I’m not on here much these days and missed the news you’re expecting. Like literally any day now(!). Very exciting. Is this No. 1? Based on the glimpses I’ve seen here, I suspect you’ll be a great parent.

[Marc Johnson @SolidEvidence]

BA.3.2 is starting to show real traction.
