Harnessing structural and functional techniques, researchers identify and optimize a pan #hantavirus antibody that can protect rodents against infections with the evolutionarily distinct Puumala virus & Andes virus. @MittlerEva @Guardado_Calvo @EinsteinMed scim.ag/32K

New paper from @taaron24 and co-authors which shows how TNFalpha inflammation reduces antibody duration by driving plasma cells out of the bone marrow. Thanks to our collaborators in @ChandranLab lab.

We have a post-doc position open in my new group at the Institut Pasteur. If you or someone you know is interested in structural virology, this is a great opportunity! We offer a great working environment and good resources to help you succeed in your research.

Dr. Pirofski is one of my top mentors who I’m grateful and privileged to also call a true friend. Congratulations Liise-anne 🥳 #WeAreID @EinsteinMed @MontefioreID
Congratulations to Dr. Liise-anne Pirofski who is the recipient of the 2022 IDSA mentoring award. She has mentored dozens of physicians and scientists and a made a huge positive difference in the careers of many. Very well deserved.

Last Monday my PhD advisor, Marc Caron, died suddenly. Everyone who knew him is grieving. He was a phenomenal family man, mentor, and scientist.
Hearing stories throughout the week has been helping me cope so I wanted to share some of my fav Marc memories

The Best Scientists 🧵
I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑🔬
Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆
And everybody respects them.

Macron just won the reelection in France against the far-right populist, anti-European, anti-Immigrant Marine Le Pen- But the score of the far-right (42%) is historically the highest in France.Populism & Xenophobia are dangerously spreading #FightAgainstPopulism #MacronPresident

Today health authorities in #DRC declared an outbreak of #Ebola after a case was confirmed in Mbandaka. This is the 3rd outbreak in the province since 2018. So far, just one case has been confirmed.

I don’t believe @elonmusk is a Russian asset but he is Putin’s “useful idiot.” No one would benefit more from Elon’s “free speech” approach to Twitter than Putin, who would be free to flood us with what Obama called the “raw sewage” of misinformation.
