We are a long term coronavirus lab, looking for a postdoc to work on comparative human and murine CoV host-virus interactions- SARS-2, MERS, OC43,229E, NL63, MHV; interferon signaling responses, integrated stress resposne, primary nasal cell cultures. Univ Pennsylvania

Yo, ye who depend on NIH grants for your livelihood. Here's another reason to make your Spec Aims page crystal clear: some study sections give members 2 min to read Spec Aim page b4 proposal is discussed. I learned this at my @PennBPP workshop from @MajaBucan

After 3+ years of submissions, revisions, resubmissions, tears of despair, and tears of joy, my brain child "Zika virus employs the host antiviral RNase L protein to support replication factory assembly" is finally published - , https://t.co/qj6KFrhogl - check it out please!!

In celebration of table napkins in today's laundry! First time in a year that I got to have guests for a meal. Finally, in my Moderna-in-my-arm state, I can celebrate with similarly vaccinated folks.🥂

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! Thankful to be part of this incredible scientific community @pennbgs, full of inspiring female scientists, mentors, and peers!

Our next #MeetPennMicro feature is Erick R. Pérez-Jiménez, an NIH PREP Scholar in @weisssr's lab! Erick received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, Puerto Rico (1/3)

Shout out to the NIH program officers and CSR SROs that are handling an onslaught of COVID grant proposals with nearly impossible deadlines. Rolling review and deadline extensions are great for PIs, but can be crushing for POs, SROs, etc. I can't even imagine.

my life exactly these days

RT @PennMedEVDCSO: While the recent #COVID19 outbreak seems sudden to most of us, for @PennMicro's @weisssr who has been studying coronaviruses for decades, it an example of the gratification & impact of the slow & steady work of scientific discovery https://t.co/cvQ8NnunWq

Great program

Our newest paper on MERS and innate immunity is out this week in @mbiojournal. We looked at the role of two MERS-specific accessory genes, 4a and 4b in interfering with the innate immune response. A short thread on what I think are key points.
