Hi all,
I'm a scientist in Queensland, Australia. I spent 20-years in virus research/diagnostic development following MedLabSci degree. PhD in virology next. Research grants in discovery, detection & characterisation of respiratory viruses. Published (see ORCID in bio). Started blogging/tweeting hobby. Then spent 5 years in public health virology diagnostics. Fun work. 2021 to now, ran testing lab (ends soon). What's next for Ian🤷?

New year, new job?

We're hiring for a research associate position that combines lab manager duties and assistance with research related to tuft cells and type 2 immunity. We've got a really great group of scientists right now, so come join us!

No experience necessary, but would also consider adapting the position for the right candidate. DM me or apply here: https://uwhires.admin.washington.edu/ENG/Candidates/default.cfm?szCategory=jobprofile&szOrderID=216277

Plum Blossom and Bush Warbler, 1838 #utagawahiroshige #hiroshige https://www.wikiart.org/en/hiroshige/plum-blossom-and-bush-warbler-1838

@cyrilpedia I know someone with a 2 month interval. Second infection from an event with known index case and the two other individuals closest to index case also infected. We can presume XBF variant given local prevalence in Victoria, AU, points to immune escape from previous likely BA.5 acquired infection in different part of world 2 months earlier. Sequencing not always required for inference! Individual was boosted but not bivalent-boosted.

More generally, it can be hard to find info on CNRS position applications, in particular for international candidates with few connections to the French system. Potential hosting labs should help in this regard! Beyond the general and formal candidate guide, informal guidance provided by each section (criteria, format) can be found here on the CoNRS website: https://cnrs.fr/comitenational/english/evaluation/CritEvalEng.htm

To degrade or not to degrade? That is the question answered by @haselbachlab in 2023's first video. Enjoy a mini lecture on #proteindegradation, #cryoEM, & #structuralbiology: 📺https://youtu.be/bU0UOJJBqH4

I lived in an almost entirely white world of science, never hearing voices like hers. @UNC colleagues and especially the folks who helped us start @CSS_Science began to open my eyes to the challenges my privilege shielded me from. Read this piece, and start listening. 2/2
