just for perspective: Covid in the US has a death rate of ~2.35% (2.3E5/10.1E6; source JHU).
So (this is not exactly higher math) accepting >100000 new infections per day means being OK with well over 2000 deaths per day in about 2-3 weeks (more if hospitals can't cope anymore).

People from the lab are also joining the 16th Berlin Summer Meeting these days. Summer is back temperature-wise in Berlin and likewise we're listening to hot topic talks 🔥 @MDC_Berlin @BIMSB_MDC
Day 2 of the Berlin Summer Meeting is brilliantly opened by @mpgpresident Patrick Cramer, followed by fascinating talks by @TMPentimalli, PhD student @N_Rajewsky lab, Mikaela Behm, postdoc @MFryeLab @odom_lab, & @preibischs

Want to sequence RNA from cells without killing them or deliver RNA programs from cell to cell? Today in Cell, we present RNA exporters, which package and secrete cellular RNA, for non-destructively monitoring cell dynamics by sequencing and delivering RNA authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

We’ve taken light data detected by four of our telescopes—@ChandraXray, @NASAWebb, @NASAHubble, and Spitzer Space Telescope—and turned them into sound. Hear what some galaxies and stars sound like: go.nasa.gov/3PjoNzt

on behalf of all in fundamental research and of @ERC_research, I quote Bertozzi: the freedom to pursue an unlikely observation made [this] discovery possible...if I stumbled into this and put out an NIH grant, we’d get laughed out of the study section. Congrats, @CarolynBertozzi!

Thrilled to share my ultimate PhD project at @steinaerts' lab on designing cell-type specific synthetic enhancers! We implemented three different design strategies guided by our previously trained deep learning models on fly brain enhancers. Link: bit.ly/3oAILXS (1/n)

In this preprint, we see how the #UltimaGenomics single-end reads technology works with traditional $TXG @10xGenomics single-cell libraries. Essentially, the 'Ultima-compatible library' reads the same information as one of the two reads of a paired-end library, but...
