We get data *from* the WHO. Without this, we're flying blind with data regarding evolution of infectious agents globally, putting us behind if we need to develop vaccines & treatments, just for one aspect. This puts the whole country at risk.

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from gene expression and real-time fluorescence to modulation..

My turn to create a starter pack for scientists using live imaging in their research! Of course, I’ve likely missed many—please let me know who else I should include. Thanks! go.bsky.app/KYYr7xc #liveimaging #livevellimaging #microscopy

Here's a starter pack that focuses on engineers/builders/makers/enablers of optical tools for (cell) biology. I'm pretty sure that the pack is incomplete - if you want to join the list, please reply with your favorite probe (that you made or used) and I'll add you 🤓 go.bsky.app/2YVvYER

Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman (UCLA) talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes this [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda."
