Ever wonder why drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is less fit than drug-susceptible Mtb? And how the bacterium can evolve to compensate for that cost?

What a time we had. First in-person gathering for most of them, and me. I love my job @ HHMI, but miss regular facetime with students. The #GilliamFellows meeting filled my tank and will keep me going for quite a while! 💙💚💚💛 (⬅️ these hearts are sort of hhmi colors)

2 days, 32 talks heard, 1 digital (!) poster presented, many friends made. So happy to attend my first @HHMINEWS science meeting, finally meet some of the other Gilliam fellows in person, and be in the company of so many inspirational scientists ✨

Something else we don't know @EricTopol:
How long will #Paxlovid remain a viable #SARSCoV2 therapy?
Our new @biorxivpreprint w/ @HarrisLabUMN @fiona_chembot shows transmissible variants already w/ resistance to multiple clinical protease inhibitors
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Quick summary on BA.4/5 variants @bmj_latest bmj.com/content/378/bmj.o196… by @emahase_ w/ @chrischirp @SGriffin_Lab @PeacockFlu
<-Key point on identical spike for these 2 variants but marked growth advantage for BA.5, shows how little we know about non-spike effects

A bit sad that #ASV2022 ends today but excited and re-energized to return to lab! It was delightful to make new friends and to see previous ones! Until next year. 👋 #LoveVirology #VirologyCommunityIsTheBest
