ASV stands in support of Dr. Tony Fauci and his long career advancing the health of Americans and protecting them from the worst infectious diseases.

Fred A Murphy left a strong legacy, studying viral encephalitis, rabies, arena & filoviruses. His electron micrographs of #Ebola & coronaviruses are widely used. He was a founder of @AmerSocVirol & worked for ASV into his 80s. I was fortunate to work with him. He will be missed.

The effort to contain this outbreak starts with four strikes against it:
Momentum
Location
(Lack of) Medical Countermeasures
Weakened Global Response Capacity
Let's look at each.

I joined NPR Morning Edition to talk about the Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo
We learned too much, too quickly, for this outbreak to be anything but a big problem
We talked about the challenges of the response and where this likely headed

Very sad to hear about the passing of Bernard Roizman. A real powerhouse in virology whose trainees are numerous and many have also had a profound impact on virology: annualreviews.org/content/jo…

As a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist who spent more than 65 years studying wild chimpanzees, Dr. Jane Goodall fundamentally changed the way we understand the world—and our place in it. She was also an extraordinarily powerful advocate, inspiring young people all over the world to stay curious, compassionate, and committed to building a brighter future for people, animals, and the environment. What a force she was.

Ann Palmenberg was a giant in some many ways, as a friend, as an advocate of women, and as a scientist. We all stood on her shoulders. She will be missed.
Virology lost a giant last week. I and so many others have lost an advocate, mentor and friend. RIP, Ann. 💔 cressfuneralservice.com/obit…

Feeling the loss of Diane E. Griffin - brilliant physician-scientist who changed our thinking about host responses to viruses. Her calm leadership moved mountains seemingly effortlessly at home and around the world, all with poise, civility, humility and much joy.

A heartfelt thank you!
