This points to a direct, regulated interaction between viral proteins and the host lipidation machinery. Thank you to co-authors @ayakimovich, @MercerLab and Ingo Drexler

Really happy to see this work out and peer reviewed. Thanks a lot to everyone involved.
Here is a happy bleb to entice you into reading our deep dive into vaccinia virus binding!
Congratulations to @laurapokorny who shows that virus binding proteins aren’t just for binding!
Just out in @emboreports

Today we opened the wonderful play ship for the @HanburySchool children in Leo’s memory. 💚 All made possible by resources, work and enthusiasm of our friends, community and the school. 😍 We are grateful Leo’s ship will bring years of fun to the kids. 🙏
Children at Hanbury C of E First School celebrated the launch of a spectacular new play area, built to celebrate the life of one of their beloved classmates.
HFS Leo was “launched” today by Leo Mercer’s family.

The @WorcCathedral Christmas Tree Festival features trees decorated by local schools & other organisations.
Ours celebrates the life of Leo and aims to reflect things he loved; nature, the colour green and the great outdoors.
Admission is free until 8 Jan: tinyurl.com/TreeFest22

As expected, the quality of science presented remained high also on the 2nd day. Many thanks to @MercerLab (@IMIBirmingham, @UoBbiosciences), @YamauchiLab (@ETH_en), Serge Mostowy & Ana Lopez Jimenez (both @MostowyLab, @LSHTM) for being with us this morning. #MLIDS @CASUSscience

Less than 24 hours to go until #molmicro2022... 4 years worth of organising, unorganising, and reorganising through the pandemic to get to this point. It'll be great to finally see everyone in the morning. Big thanks to our almost 200 delegates for making this happen.

The longer monkeypox circulates, the higher the likelihood of a school contact like this initiating an outbreak in another highly connected group.
