Sobering to think of the possibility that we might one day be grateful that these early waves were scrimmage matches that gave us time to tool-up, should a future variant have mortality rates on par with say SARS1 (10%).

So when I tell you we are lucky that Mother Nature gave us a practice virus to learn on with all of the #CovidVariants to date, listen to me. We have to stay humble & recognize that if we abandon masks now, we are giving this virus a mindboggling # of chances to mutate. /18

It’s the end of the beginning for #SyntheticBiology. This pic of a grey-haired 🤭 @DrewEndy wearing an @iGEM 2006 shirt looking at $DNA banner did it for me. Proud @Ginkgo sent up a flare, but we are a big community in #synbio and the world is about to take notice. We’re ready.🧵

(1/n) Excited to share Handyfuge-LAMP; a low-cost & electricity-free centrifugation for isothermal SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva. With COVID19 cases increasing globally, diagnostics needs to be accessible to everyone - including resource limited regions medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It's long past time to get rid of policies that block researchers' efforts to engage, respect, & honor the civil rights of research volunteers. A rather egregious example is a PDF that appeared on @CMSgov website in '14 @geochurch & I explain @statnews 1/n statnews.com/2020/06/29/unsi…

PDF that blocks study participants from getting their own data needs to go

There are many good reasons why study participants might want their data, and many good reasons why they should have it. We need to remove roadblocks that make that data difficult, if not impossible,...

So, back to this PDF. We are fortunate that legal scholars, Barbara Evans and Susan Wolf, devoted an entire legal review to assess its legal standing. TLDR; questionable, at best. floridalawreview.com/2020/a-… But, that hasn't stopped the chilling effect it has had on researchers. 6/n

w/ @MichelleNMeyer, we wrote a forum commentary unpacking key take-home messages for researchers that seek to both advance scientific discovery & explore alternative models of governance that engage, respect, & honor the civil rights of volunteers. floridalawreview.com/2020/pr… /end
The Lyme rash (erythema migrans) on skin of color is difficult to find in dermatological references and I'm asked often to provide some, so I was delighted to receive this (I'm assured the young man pictured made a full recovery). #MedTwitter #dermtwitter #LymeDisease #BLM

🚨I wrote about COVID-19 long-haulers—the thousands of people who’ve been struggling with *months* of debilitating symptoms. Many have faced disbelief from friends and medical professionals because they don’t fit the typical profile of the disease. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…

COVID-19 Can Last for Several Months

The disease’s “long-haulers” have endured relentless waves of debilitating symptoms—and disbelief from doctors and friends.

Animal model data from a new prototype vaccine for Lyme Disease. A ferritin nanoparticle fused with OspA molecules from seven strains of Borrelia including B burgdorferi, B afzelii, B bavariensis and several B garinii. nature.com/articles/s41541-0…
Lyme advocacy has the unique and incredible history of being driven forward by mothers who KNEW that something was happening to their children. Keep fighting for good science and for progress mamas!

RT-LAMP test for #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 from Brian Rabe and Connie Cepko: 30 min, requires a 65 °C bath (does not require a PCR machine or other specialized equipment), can detect 1 viral RNA copy per µL, works on saliva, readout is color change. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
