Increíble que estando tan lejos de Colombia y tratando de celebrar a la distancia el cumpleaños de mi Madre, @RappiColombia se aproveche de la situación y me haya cargado el total de la compra del regalo, sin entregarlo y sin poder pedir el reembolso. Me roban $190mil. Descaro..

RT if you know someone who might be interested!

It’s an awesome place to get a PhD and do some really cool science. I couldn’t recommend it more!

I got the same fellowship, so feel free to DM me if you’ve got questions or want to hear more!

Making recombinant VSV? Our codon-optimized helper plasmids are now available at @Addgene: https://t.co/7jFvCaVxFu. Method details here: https://t.co/4WBwyo3Jcj

[Sebastian Velandia-Álvarez @sebasveal]

There’s no doubt I would do it all again. Thailand is such a magical land… and I got to see the floating lanterns!

@S_Lequime @slequime You’re leaving here then? :/

[The Journal of Immaterial Science @JImmatSci]

The 2024 Noble Prize in physics has been awarded to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie for the Barbenheimer effect. This phenomenon, involving the superposition of two very attractive people, allows physics to become interesting, a state which is otherwise spin-forbidden.

@sebasveal giving the Viral Biology J-Club on how flu disperses across the respiratory tract. There is still lots to discover about viral population dynamics in vivo

[Precipitated_protein @KasShankar]

I'm happy to share our work on enteroviral protein 2C. This publication highlights how indispensable 2C is in the viral replication cycle. Do read! Cheers!🍺

I couldn’t recommend a better place to learn some cool science! 🧬

[RonGeller @RonGellerLab]

Still looking for a lab for your @JAEIntro_CSIC? We have a project investigating the molecular determinants underlying the increased pathogenesis of a common virus in newborns. You will get training in molecular biology and virology. Check out project #JAEINT24_EX_0193

[Sebastian Velandia-Álvarez @sebasveal]

This is a very nice work!! Here we provide some insights into the tolerance of viral proteins to mutations. Check it out!

[Bea @bealro_]

Ever wondered how mutations 🧬 in your favourite #picornavirus protein affect viral fitness? 🦠 Find out the answer in our full-proteome DMS analysis, now out in @PlosBiology!

Now that I have a bit of time, a short 🧵 about the results in this paper

[Sebastian Velandia-Álvarez @sebasveal]

Happy to have presented part of my PhD project at #Europic2024 in Finland 🇫🇮. It was an amazing meeting with tons of new insights! @RonGellerLab.
