The @options2024 party was a blast! #influenza #vaccines #scientistshavingfun

@SRileyIDD of @imperialcollege on learning lessons from prior outbreaks and pandemics to plan and respond for a future unknown respiratory disease agent (URDA) In our final session for @options2024!

Excited to welcome the world’s influenza researchers to Washington advice for the next Options with strong leadership from JustIn Ortiz and @andrewpekosz

See you all in 2026 for OptionsXIII in Washington DC! Safe travels home

Congratulations to our award winners for fantastic oral presentations and posters

Thank you to @K_RenfreeShort for hosting @options2024 - Brisbane was certainly a highlight in the series

“The influenza community is collegial. It’s smart, modest and just great people to work with. I thank you for allowing me to be in some senses a part of it for a time” Thank you @ProfPCDoherty day 1 (📸 always engaging w researchers to inspire us) An immense thank you to Lance

Thank you, @options2024! "What we do when we leave is what really matters"

Chung lab presentation duo 🧑🏽‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬with our PhD candidate Carissa on our research (and memes 🙊) on IgG4 responses following mRNA vaccination/boosters @options2024 Sparked insightful discussions that will hopefully get us closer to better understanding this phenomenon 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Maria Zambon bids us all farewell after 4 great days @Options2024 with reminder of inequalities that exist before, during, and after, pandemics. Congratulations @IsirvEpi @isirvAVG @K_RenfreeShort 💐 Bye-bye colleagues, and see you in Valencia 🇪🇸 for #ESWI2025. Keep in touch!

I would be very happy to see some more discussion on innate immunity on future panels. How do we get to these B cell and T cell responses after exposure? Presumably through efficient innate immune responses 😎

The newly minted Dr Motsoeneng gave a fantastic talk yesterday! @options2024

Not a versus on cell type- but an orchestra of immune response @GrasLab

Day4 @options2024! Great talks on zoonotic spillovers and risks @MalikP46697504 on 🐪MERS. @MarianaLeguia on H5N1 in seabirds+ mammals 🦭 in Peru, & Andrew Bowman on 🐄outbreak. Common conclusion: huge underestimation of risk, increased surveillance, & one health approach.

This Week in Virology (TWIV) podcast LIVE @options2024 #microbeTV

Watch out for bird flu: equivalent advice for NZ here 👇

Andrew Bowman @OSUVetCollege updating us on bovine influenza and the farm situation - from nomenclature on milk isolation and quarantine procedures to mitigate the outbreak further - raw milk as a pet food to cats ⏳🦠

@MarianaLeguia from @pucp HPAI H5N1 devastated South America animal populations in 2023 and into Antarctica with the need for public education on risk from infected animals And needing researchers and systems in place to pivot at outbreak onset rather than starting once

Our final morning plenary session @options2024 on zoonotic viruses From @MalikP46697504 from @hku for the risk of MERSCoV across Africa persisting in camels as the virus causes cluster outbreaks since 2012, low seroprevalence and mutational instability leading to a persistent

Reminder that we are entering a high risk period for the introduction of avian influenza into Australia. Important that if you see a sick or dead bird (or marine mammal) to report it! Great video by NAQS can be found here: https://t.co/J7qcuhwqQM
