Exposure to an E. coli mutagenic toxin colibactin increases risk of early onset colorectal cancer. Made me say ‘Wow!’ But isn’t surprising on reflection. #medsky #moleculargenetics #oncology

A new frontier for biochemists but 120 light years away. Now physicists and engineers need to get a move on to give us warp drive.

@nj.com Any deep thoughts on track & field following the alleged baton assault of a runner by another in a HS relay? Though not involved, T&F event javelin is a sport based on infantry combat leading to something in running events 🤔

Really??? The B1G and ACC had their tourneys this weekend with no issues, as usual. There are plenty of stories of US parents fighting at baseball and basketball games

Yes it is highly contagious AND it affects the immune system causing “immune amnesia”. The infected are susceptible to other diseases for years after, causing sickness and death #measles #infectiousdisease

Will They Come for PubMed Next? www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco... #medicine #medsky #molbiol🧪 You need to be old like me to remember doing your research and dissertation without NLM. We cannot go back

Pubmed is back up after a roughly 12 hour issue. A friend who's a coder tells me it was a DNS misconfiguration. Whether accidental or not is unknown. #Medsky #academicpublishing

I’m on the sidelines watching now but remember my arguments with my committee that junk RNA wasn’t junk. Nature is conservative. It won’t waste energy on ‘junk’ tiny RNA production #genetics

Even when children “recover”, there is still mortal risk. Subacute sclerosing panecephalitis from measles. SSPE case studies shook me when a virology grad student

Podcast on naming in science. A colleague who cloned mammalian ether-a-go-go (hERG) stated the problem. Though fun for C elegans and Drosophila folks back then, the names fail when communicating human disease to patients! No more merlot or zinfandel genes. #molecularbiology #scientificpublishing

A certain HG Wells quote on symbiosis keeps rattling in my head. From his biology text “The Science of Life”. Ain’t it the case #MedSky #science #AcademicPublishing

A new study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases found that COVID-19 hospital admissions & deaths remained higher than influenza in Denmark from 2022-2024. The risk was greatest for unvaccinated individuals, those with comorbidities, and men.🧪 #IDsky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Excellent discussion of pandemic cinema as a reflection of societal zeitgeist. Well worth a listen. Since I come from a molecular virology background I see these movies with a bias #Scuence #Medicine🔬#MolBiol🧪

What's your favorite movie about disease? On this week's book club episode, Erin chats with the authors of Diseased Cinema: Plagues, Pandemics and Zombies in American Movies all about the genre and how it's changed over time. And check out the Infectious Historians podcast if you haven't already!

Not an MD but was a PhD grad in microbiology and molecular genetics under infectious disease MD advisor. We had to read this every week and also be prepared to share and discuss with MD 1st year students at recitation grad students led. Not a trivial thing

#CDC has confirmed #H5N1 #birdflu in a child in San Fransisco whose source of infection hasn't been determined. The child had fever & conjunctivitis, but has since recovered. Info not yet available on the genotype of the virus, which should help point to a source (ie wild birds or cows).
