This is very very cool! #SARSCoV2 #animation
Incredibly excited to finally share this.. We’ve charted the full life cycle of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus with @MaastrichtU. Follow us inside the cell and see exactly what happens during an infection youtu.be/k2GlafQ9YhY

Over the years, the lab and I have come up with various materials for science process (writing, presenting, reviewing, etc.). Here they are, loosely organized in a Google Doc. Hope it is useful! docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I can't comment on the percentages but I'm happy with the gradient. I'll be continuing to wear a mask and I'd urge you to wear one too.

🧵: That second dose and one reason why it really matters for full protection. I still always amazed by the evolutionary masterpiece that is ‘affinity maturation’. TL:DR > None provided. Read it and be enthused about your vaccine.

Great thread, as always from @florian_krammer
1) So, this morning I promised a little tweetorial about variants and here we go. This will be from a vaccine/antibody point of view only, I won't comment on how infectious they are or if they are more pathogenic (I'll leave that to Boris Johnson 😉).

The Imperial report on the new UK B117 strain is out. Very concerning findings, that highlight why we need to act on this *now*. These findings suggest that the situation within the UK is likely to get much worse than it is now. Here's why- Thread.

Have a watch of Reporting Scotland (start 06:31mins) to hear Professor Emma Thomson (@emcat1) discuss the new #COVID19 variant, and where we’ll be looking to study these mutations 👉🏻 bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
After 1 week of #COVID19 #vaccination, the #UK is closing in on 500,000 doses given. You might not think this is much given a total population of 67 million, but it is potentially a very important milestone with major positive consequences. Why? 1/n
