Monkeypox virus research from our group is now online in @ScienceTM! We wanted to know whether TPOXX treatment was effective against the current outbreak virus, critical info for curbing the ongoing outbreak. #ScienceTranslationalMedicineResearch Short 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

Between pregnant women, immigrants, and now this RFK nonsense, probably not hyperbolic to say a Trump win would needlessly kill an extraordinary number of people.
A vote for Trump is now quite literally a vote for dead or disabled children. 👇🏻

Congrats again! This paper was all your initiative and hard work! Glad to see it out.
Our new paper on #longcovid in a preclinical animal model, changed proteins 31 days after infection in the young. Sex based differences and surprising as disease is mild with quick resolution in this model. Teamwork with @BryceWarner1 and @RVendramelli nature.com/articles/s44298-0…

having had lots of discussions about what viruses should or shouldn't be priority pathogens, it's great to see a much more comprehensive list published!

Thanks, but no thanks, Kim. Even if I were still in Winnipeg, I think I’d pass.

Some Filovirus therapeutic work from my previous lab now out in J Virol. This study showing delayed treatment of Sudan virus infected NHPs with a monoclonal cocktail is highly effective. More countermeasures for non-EBOV species are critically needed! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Very happy to see this one come online! A great collaboration b/w folks at NML and U of Guelph. NDV vaccination protects against Delta and BA.2 SARS-CoV-2 variants in both mouse and hamster models and provides longer term protection in hamsters.👇🏻🐁 🐹 nature.com/articles/s41541-0…

I’ve scrolled though a ton of these and still haven’t seen Whitey Ford getting pelted with pretzels..

I mean, he deserves it, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone have their own “corner” to use as a forum in a scientific or medical journal.. 🤔😂. A lofty goal for us all.
Stanley Plotkin argues that we need a new mumps vaccine, citing concern about waning immunity among college-age students precipitating outbreaks among the vaccinated that is exacerbated by a mismatch between the vaccine strain’s HN protein and that of circulating mumps viruses, and pointing out that a third dose of MMR as a requirement before people go to college may exclude many: journals.lww.com/pidj/fullte…
