@CD57227@MarionKoopmans@BioSRP@Florin_Uncovers And if you want to make other conclusions…just write an e-mail to the author in the article and ask them, they know best about the subject.
@CD57227@MarionKoopmans@BioSRP@Florin_Uncovers …that was not the answer I gave you…I just dumbed down the article for you as you called it “ambiguous”. Do you know how to read or you just like to put your conclusions wherever you like?
It does not matter, it does not answer that question, it is irrelevant.
@CD57227@MarionKoopmans@BioSRP@Florin_Uncovers (2/🧵) Question of bigger problematic: Could raccoon dogs be potential reservoirs and risk infecting humans?
Aim of the study: Infect raccoons with a strain and see if they get sick, shed virus and can transmit the virus between them.
Results: yes.
@CD57227@MarionKoopmans@BioSRP@Florin_Uncovers Also looking at the timeline of the publications, how would they have access to this method the other team was developing (and thus was unavailable) at the same time?
@CD57227@MarionKoopmans@BioSRP@Florin_Uncovers When you rescue a virus that way you still need to have the original strain as a control to ensure the virus kinetics and pathogenicity is the same on your cells. Partially might be (take w/ grain of 🧂this reason) because you don’t have the viral subpopulations this way.
@BioSRP@MarionKoopmans@CD57227@Florin_Uncovers Getting a lab that wants to share the virus is not easy. A lot of times people just use what is close enough to the strain and is already readily available. It’s a valid answer, even if you don’t like it.
@conny_kaufmann@PhDVoice My sister has had for her PhD absolute dreams of supervisors. I hope that I can be like them in the future. They aren’t my supervisors and are from an unrelated field to mine but I treasure them 😆
If this gets to 10k supporters it has the possibility of becoming a real Lego set. Tell me you don't want a Lego microscope on your desk! https://t.co/KjaGmS3CJ9
