Exciting news!! Our latest paper is out in Nat. Microbiol. @natmicrobiol.nature.com We show that a sub-lineage of 7th pandemic V. cholerae has acquired mobile genetic elements packed with phage defense systems—rendering it multi-phage resistant 😳 ..... 1/3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We often talk about IFNa and IFNb interchangeably as type I IFNs but it's becoming more and more clear that they're not at all interchangeable, and that they may even have opposing functions. IFNb seems to be surprisingly toleragenic in certain contexts. @lozanzi.bsky.social

Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere. It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @aspeninstitute.bsky.social

The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

1/n I don’t understand the new Dept HHS assertion that childhood vaccines weren’t tested in placebo-controlled trials. That’s simply not true. I did a quick (non-exhaustive) PubMed search and they came up pretty quickly. For example here’s MMR
