Excited to share our @biorxivpreprint led by @xiaoyi_fann and @wanyuviridae exploring how binding of western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) to its cellular receptors evolved over the past century 🤩 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @HarvardMicro

Perhaps one of the coolest experiences I've had as a scientist to hear @abrahamlabhms @wanyuviridae paper on western equine encephalitis virus featured on TWiV! "Heartbeats and hoofbeats" Thank you at @profvrr! (starts at about 51 min) ❤️🐎@HarvardMicro youtube.com/watch?v=j5fKOiLX…

Sharing a piece on Triple E🦟. I am fascinated by this deadly virus so we do a lot of work on it in the lab. It's quite a nasty bug - for those who live in regions with activity, need to take appropriate precautions re: mosquitoes. @HarvardMicro hms.harvard.edu/news/deadly-…

Excited to share @biorxivpreprint in collaboration with Rachel Fearns at BU in which we determined the cryo-EM structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex! The complex assembles with a tobacco pipe-like shape with a flexible stem (do you see it?)😃😅biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
