De acordo!
Ao contrário do que tem sido noticiado, não há evidências de que os anticorpos contra a linhagem que já circulou no Brasil não sejam protetores contra a linhagem africana do Zika vírus. Portanto, este vírus não traz um risco maior de epidemia. https://t.co/qUXSGxETqR

We are really excited to create a simpler protocol on Illumina that saves 9h on hands-on time to sequence SARS-CoV-2. We are now training many African labs on this protocol... Well done Jennifer and Sureshnee for developing this in South Africa and making it public...

We challenge this paradigm, so far, we got 3 COVID-19 papers, 2/3 the 1st author were females (Sarah Cleemput and Carla Mavian), the other 1st sharing author (Marta Giovanetti). All of our GISAID seqs had Jennifer Giandhari as 1st author https://t.co/w89XlxNmmS

El tema del día. La semiótica visual. El texto y el subtexto. La imagen y la imaginería. El mensaje a su electorado presentándose como víctima y las críticas por intentar hacerlo "libre de pecado". El juego de las verdades y mentiras, el populismo y la propaganda #comunicación
