Excited to share our investigation of a very unique Ebola patient in DRC/2019 just came out. The patient relapsed from this initial infection and unfortunately sparked a large transmission chain. Fantastic work with @inrb_kinshasa and Mike Wiley‘s lab

wish I was in town for this!

Please see below, VIR is looking for two SRAs in Virology – one position will be directly working with me on HIV broadly neutralizing antibody projects 🙂 If you’re interested please apply and reach out on LinkedIn/DM. https://t.co/tZAGQKG0eU https://t.co/2WXdlaOG9W

Another shout out to chemistry professors:

Today we're officially announcing and opening applications to Campus 🏛️ 1/ A “school” for the soul, intellect, and inner-child: 🔭community-created curriculum exploring our curiosities 🌱 50+ circles, salons, juntos and extracurriculars 🤓 "nerd prom" at end of the qtr

Today @ScienceTM how a 1st-in-class #antibody cocktail targets #LassaFever virus. #CryoEM & wetlab explain how the mAbs navigate a thick #glycan shield & use 3 complementary mech. of neut. The finisher: novel vaccine candidate to elicit more Ab like these. https://t.co/AJI10cOek7

The CDC, by @MatttDavies

New #Ebola case in Beni, DR Congo is not a new spillover. Great work by @PlacideMbala, @labgenpath, @Inrb_goma, and others showed the new case is linked to the 2018-2020 Nord Kivu outbreak. https://t.co/MoOnLDxdp9

#Ebola may be back in DRC's North Kivu. Testing is underway on samples from a 46 yo woman who died at Beni on Aug. 15 of Ebola-like symptoms.

I’m a partner at A16Z and we just had a very compelling healthcare pitch from a second-time founder. Blood tests, but it only requires one drop of blood. How cool! I invested $351 million on the spot, making this our largest deal ever. Will share more in a blog post soon!

Okay, this is the biggest bullshit I've read all day; maybe there is no hope for some SV VCs – no accountability, no ethics. Maybe Elizabeth Holmes will need a cool $100m in prison for the next big thing in diagnostics; I'm sure @a16z is on standby. https://t.co/C7ZvmERXi9

Weatherwax Bio is going strong 🙂

🚨 New #LoveVirology preprint: This paper has it all: single cells, COVID, CRISPR & Sunshine! We systematically characterize host factors of SARS-CoV-2 using Perturb-seq. Led by @sarasunshinebio, bringing together @JswLab, Joe DeRisi's lab & many others https://t.co/9AXfXKeEYc 1/

Sharing some more #labdaptations for #DisabilityPrideMonth. Traditional pipettes are not ergonomical & put unnecessary strain on the thumb joint. While this is a more costly investment, these pipettes allow me to keep my independence in the lab.

abolish the electoral college and the senate

Congratulations to @CorentineLaurin on graduating. It was nice to catch up today and hear about your exciting job @WeatherwaxBio

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies.

“it is easier to succeed with a hard startup than an easy one.” i have always believed this, but my confidence interval has really increased.

Reflecting back on this weeks episodes of The Daily, showcasing the corruption/COIs of Joe Manchin and Clarence/Ginni Thomas. Stark reminder of prevalence of political corruption in western democracies, something to keep in mind when we hold our heads high looking elsewhere.

Dispatch from the recruiting front lines: a cunning defense against unsolicited/prospecting emails – just manually reply with "You have reached an email address that does not exist." Only problem is that you email from the non-existing email address... oh well, almost got me!🙂
