We need your help for some crucial #LongCOVID research! If you live in the New York area, have FULLY recovered from COVID-19 infection and it has been AT LEAST 12 weeks since you were first sick, please email us at prcovid@mountsinai.org @PutrinoLab
RT highly appreciated 🙏🏼

Two years into the pandemic, experts reflect on what the virus has done to science and society— what we’ve learned, what can’t be undone and how to move forward.

The @IPCC_CH report on climate vulnerabilities, impacts, and adaptation efforts makes one thing very clear...We Can and Must Adapt to Climate Impacts Now. My @NRDC colleague @JMConstible explains more.

My latest feature story is part of a huge special issue of @SciAm that delves into 21 ways COVID changed the world. I'm totally grateful to @JenLSchwartz for her brilliant edits. Check out all of the fantastic reporting here: scientificamerican.com/repor…
Have you ever waited for PCR test results?
My new feature for @SciAm is all about how PCR is speeding up and getting cheaper. Scientists are using everything from left-handed DNA to solar power to long stretches of tape to radically improve PCR testing:

COVID accelerated the development of cutting-edge PCR tests—and made the need for them urgent. scientificamerican.com/artic…

When COVID-19 hit, relying on our immediate networks was not sufficient. The fallout from the pandemic is an urgent call to strengthen our aid systems. scientificamerican.com/artic…

Must-read new @SciAm article by @past_is_future, @STWorg & @StuartjdNeil drilling down on conspiratorial ideation over supposed Chinese lab leak origin to COVID-19 and the parallels with climate denial conspiracy theories.
🧵
Really fantastic piece from @stuartjdneil, @past_is_future, and @STWorg.
Yes, all reasonable origins hypotheses should be investigated. But amplifying baseless speculation hurts our ability to do exactly that.

Great piece by @past_is_future, @stuartjdneil, and @STWorg. Shows how powerful interdisciplinary collaboration can be: bit.ly/3JsUgJg

The pandemic didn’t bring us together, but it did show us what we need to change the most.

Last May, I was criticized & harassed for writing a piece warning that the tone of the lab-leak debate would hinder Covid origin investigations & damage collaboration required to curb this & future pandemics. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I cannot understand why there has not been aggressive pursuit of nasal #SARSCoV2 inhibitors or vaccines, like this one, highly effective vs Omicron, to help block transmission
