Our new paper is now out @ScienceAdvances!
We found a surprising natural realization of a mathematical peculiarity - known as Chimera State - within swarms of synchronous fireflies ✨

Isn't #GenomeSegmentation costly for viruses, as many particles will have an incomplete genome? Study shows that co-infecting incomplete #bunyavirus particles can reconstitute a complete genome, supporting infection & potentially transmission #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3hL0MCK
Recently wrote for #NatureMedicine this postmortem of the Oxford/AZ mucosal Covid vaccine trial. The intranasal spray version of ChAdOx1 failed to induce strong antibody responses.
But the column also includes a bit on the positive outcome of CanSino's trial using an inhaler (approved as a booster for 2x Coronavac).
@Caroline_Bartma I'm sure somewhere out there is a Myspace page with all possible eosinophil puns
I have to say that this is such an elegant study from first principles in @PNASNews
“The abundance, biomass, and distribution of ants on Earth”. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2201550119
@Caroline_Bartma ... and glad you are entering in style.
@Caroline_Bartma Welcome aboard!
Do you analyze #microbial growth data from a plate reader in #RStats?
Do you wish it was easier to import, organize, and merge your data?
Do you want to do model-free analyses of growth curves?
Now available: gcplyr, an R pkg in Open Beta https://github.com/mikeblazanin/gcplyr/

"Day six
There’s something missing. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Oh yes: where are all the arseholes? Where are the people who want dinghies full of migrants to sink into a freezing sea? Where are the people who call us libtards? Where, now I come to think of it, are all the Tory MPs?"
The latest episode of the #EMBOPodcast is out today.
I spoke with Roberto di Lauro who's had a fascinating career at the NCI during the golden age of molecular biology there, in Naples - both at Federico II & running one of biology's mythical places, the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, and even served some time in the diplomatic core.
This was a fun talk about science, #SciencePolicy, #HistoryOfScience, #MolecularBiology, science in Italy and much more.

Aedes aegypti Dicer2 mutants
"Our Dicer2 null mutant line is viable and fertile, and only displays minor fitness defects despite being unable to produce siRNAs. The loss of Dicer2 affects early viral replication and systemic viral dissemination of four medically significant arboviruses (chikungunya, Mayaro, dengue, and #zika viruses) representing two viral families. However, measures of virus transmission potential indicate that Dicer2 null mutants and wild-type mosquitoes display an overall similar level of vector competence. Additionally, Dicer2 null mutants undergo significant virus-induced mortality during infection with #chikungunya virus, but not #dengue virus."
