In a follow-up to our recent short report proposing saliva as a gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection: https://t.co/SX9EjNE3dw

[Derrick Scott @scottdc31]

A sincere thank you to @saliva_direct and @awyllie13 for adding the @AppliedBio QuantStudio 12K Flex to the existing SalivaDirect EUA. It allowed us to double our COVID-19 testing capacity without having to spend time and resources developing our own LDT to use the 12Ks. Kudos!

[Derrick Scott @scottdc31]

Crazy to see how far we've come in a couple of months!

New COVID-19 testing site to open at Delaware State University in New Castle County https://t.co/S57SXWgJ4K via @6abc

[Governor Matt Meyer @MattMeyerDE]

We've spent over $50 million on out-of-state labs to provide fast, efficient COVID-19 to Delawareans. Now, in collaboration with @DelStateUniv, @NCCDE can start spending some of that here in Delaware. -this morning on @WDEL @TheJensenShow #netDE

[Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor]

$75k/year during postdoc and $100k/year after transitioning to faculty.

[Derrick Scott @scottdc31]

@MattMeyerDE none of this would have been possible without your leadership and ability to creatively solve problems. Thank you for your trust and support!

[Governor Matt Meyer @MattMeyerDE]

None of these efforts would be possible without the collaboration & support of @JohnCarneyDE, @SenatorCarper, @ChrisCoons & @RepLBR, as well as @Delaware_DHSS & @DelawareEMA, and the occasionally past midnight hard work of @scottdc31 & @MaxXWilliamson.

[Derrick Scott @scottdc31]

@MaxXWilliamson was instrumental in getting this project completed and making sure that it will run successfully. It couldn't have been done without him!

[Governor Matt Meyer @MattMeyerDE]

Addressing a pandemic. Turning a horrific pandemic into extraordinary opportunity for one of our nation's leading HBCUs. @DelStateUniv @MaxXWilliamson

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Proud to join @NCCDE’s Matt Meyer, @DelStateUniv President Tony Allen, and the Delaware delegation to cut the ribbon on the new #COVID19 testing lab at DSU.
With this lab, the county will be able to increase testing capacity at a lower cost while also providing good-paying jobs.

[Derrick Scott @scottdc31]

Blessed to have been appointed the Executive Director of the @DelStateUniv Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory! Yesterday was the ribbon cutting ceremony and I gave Senator @ChrisCoons , @SenatorCarper , Co. Ex @MattMeyerDE a tour of the facility that they paved the way to be built!

[Derrick Scott @scottdc31]

Even though I feel like others are more worthy, I'm proud to have my name attached to a spectacular group of scientists such as this!

With this final list, @CommofScholars and @phdgprotein86 hope to dismantle the myth that outstanding Black scientists make up a small percentage of the scientific community.
