Super excited to release this animation showing how SARS-CoV-2 gets into cells. The video below shows just a small segment of the full animation. To get to a link to see the entire thing and to read more about the project, go to animationlab.utah.edu/cova
Why yes I did spend time on Christmas day writing about virus mutations. Anything to make the season brighter, and not less so! 🤓
Are you worried about the new #CovidVariant? @ShaunaMBennett has written a straightforward post about the science of the new variant on our blog, featuring images by @jt_pea from our "Viruses Mutate" course (appropriate for adults & kids!)

Fellow virologists, do you know of a curious and motivated person looking for a postdoc position? Searching for a postdoc interested in molecular virology of noroviruses to study how virus capsid flexibility affects pathogenesis. DM me please.

How likely is it you’ll encounter at least one person who is infected with the coronavirus if you go to a bar in Denver? What about a 100-person wedding in Baltimore? Or a Thanksgiving dinner with 25 guests in Los Angeles?

We put together a list of the Top 25 Science YouTubers and noticed a few things:
-There's not a single person of colour
-There is only one female (solo) channel
It's a tough conversation, but we need to talk about diversity in science.

This episode of #TWiV is especially good and I highly recommend it. We talked to @michaelmina_lab about some of his recent papers about frequent rapid testing, a daily $1 test and pooled testing. I felt really optimistic about how this could address many issues with the pandemic!
A must listen! Michael Mina joins #TWiV to reveal why frequent and rapid #SARSCoV2 testing is more important than accuracy, how a daily $1 rapid test could control the pandemic, and why group testing works bit.ly/32nfrKp
A big thanks to @VirusProfSings and @LauringLab for being our scientific reviewers!
