Did not expect to see this on display at @YNHH but it’s a great reminder of how vaccines have transformed healthcare immensely for the better.

It was at my first @sacnas as an undergrad that solidified my decision to pursue science as a career. To come back as an independent scientist w/ that seemingly impossible goal realized is astounding & feel so honored to be back encouraging others to go forward w/their dreams!

Another great publication in #SpecialIssue "Usutu, West Nile and Tickborne Encephalitis Viruses"🤗

ALT Models of the flavivirus structural proteins corresponding to various stages in the virus life cycle. (A–C): Immature DENV1 trimer, mature USUV dimer and the fusogenic DENV hairpin Viruses 2022, 14, 2213 8 of 29 conformation, respectively. Corresponding top views are depicted in (D–F), respectively. For the immature E trimer and the E dimer, the E-stem region is also shown. The models are color coded as follows: DI (red), DII (yellow), DIII (blue), fusion loop (green), glycosylation sites (orange) and prM (cyan); for (B,E), the E-stem is in light blue and M protein is in teal.

This is just nuts. I was not aware that the rate of kids not protected against polio in NYC is that high. Vaccination rates should be close to 100%.
Our new map shows polio vaccination rates for NYC children 6 months to 5 years old. According to our data, 13.8% have not been vaccinated against polio. Polio is highly contagious. The most important way to prevent polio is by getting vaccinated: on.nyc.gov/polio
ALT Map showing polio vaccination coverage for New York City children 6 months to 5 years old. N Y C's overall rate is 86.2%. ZIP codes with the highest rates include Astoria, Lincoln Square and Greenpoint, which all have rates greater than 99%. ZIP codes with the lowest rates include Battery Park City, Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant, with rates as low as 56.3%.

BREAKING: The first US polio case in over 9 years happened because they were not vaccinated. They now have paralysis.
I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but vaccines work.

Super proud of my group for their great showing at @AsiaDengue. Putting this out in the Twittersphere to broadcast their awesomeness. 1/n #LoveVirology

A brilliant & timely review by Prof. #DianeEGriffin on the persistence of viral RNA following RNA virus infection - which can be associated with late progressive disease or nonspecific lingering symptoms of post-acute infection syndromes (#PAIS). (1/)

Good start of the day. @theNASciences fir the 2019, 2020 & 2021 new members’ induction ceremony, surrounded by Rock Stars like Karla Kirkegaard, Peter Sarnow, @HarmitMalik and Adolfo Garcia-Sastre🤩🤩🤩🤩. Not too shabby

Hard to believe our lab reached this point already and super stoked to have hit this milestone. We have our first R01!

Thank you to @cellhostmicrobe for featuring our work on the vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody response against yellow fever virus and to @croweje and @RHCarnahan for their thoughtful perspective (below).
Even old foes can learn sweet new tricks: @RHCarnahan @croweje discuss @HaslwanterD @ChandranLab work investigating 17D #YellowFever virus vaccine neutralization of 17D & African strains vs. contemporary Central/South American strains, including YFV ES-504 cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

Happy to share our first foundational manuscript on extracellular vesicles and their ability to alter the permeability of an epithelial bilayer and induce invasion, with RNA as a major contributing biomolecule. disq.us/t/44hyi7k @HasanHumna @SotoZulaida @ikjot_sohal

Nice story in the NYT on the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and some of the scientists that contributed to them.

Jim Strauss was a great scientist, an engaging mentor, and a dear friend. We will deeply miss his wit and insight.
We are saddened to share news of the passing of James H. Strauss Jr. (PhD '67), the Ethel Wilson Bowles and Robert Bowles Professor of Biology, Emeritus.
