sciencedirect.com/science/ar… New work in @JMolBiol from the lab concerning the importance of producer-cell IP6 for HIV-1 Gag six-helix bundle (6HB) stability, viral assembly, and maturation. A great collaboration between the Freed lab, @GroupZhang, @JamesLab9, and @SaiardiLab.

Yakei, a female macaque in a nature reserve in Japan, violently overthrew the alpha male of her troop to become its first female leader in the reserve’s 70-year history. She presides over 677 monkeys, but a messy love triangle could endanger her status. nyti.ms/3KyneIS

I guess Trump & Robert E. Lee both know how it feels to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of pro-democracy forces in Pennsylvania.

Trump, in a lengthy statement, decries the removal of Richmond's Robert E. Lee statue, calling it "magnificent." "If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan... What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don’t have the genius of a Robert E. Lee!"

Today our review of the evidence for the origins of SARS-CoV-2 graduated from a pre-print to peer-reviewed pre-proof in @CellCellPress. Can we rule out a "lab leak"? No, but if we objectively follow the evidence, it leads us away from that hypothesis. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
