“I don’t think people get that once you become sick enough to be hospitalized with COVID, the medications and treatments that we have are, quite frankly, not very good.”

Reassuring info if you're still waiting for any vaccine or are in-between doses. Watch the video for great analogies and expand the thread for info sources. "...an immune cell doesn't read brand names." 👍👩🔬 #scicomm #GetVaxxed

Here’s why many vaccine experts, including the folks at NACI, say the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines can be used interchangeably if needed to accelerate second doses ⤵️ #VHCdose2 #ThisIsOurShotCA

It took me 20min to find, so for anyone else who struggles with knowing what Japanese keywords to use in Google, here's a list of #COVID19 mass vaccination centers around #Japan, the Corona Vaccine Navi コロナワクチンナビ

This brought to you by the simultaneous tears-of-joy excitement & blind-with-rage frustration induced by news that the empty mass vax centers will start giving shots to non-elderly, non-essential people somehow in possession of a Golden Ticket (接種券番号)

Science confirms personal life experience - charades, patience, and a friendly attitude can communicate almost as well as actual multilingualism.

Presentation design tip: 🎨
An oldie but a goodie.. choose 'sans serif' (non-decorative) fonts for slides. Serif (decorative) fonts are best used for larger bodies of text in print form (that's why a lot of novels are still printed in Times New Roman-like fonts) 📚

My favorite part is the melodramatic death of the mRNA character when enzymes come to degrade it. #CovidVaccine #SciComm

Red-tailed Phascogales are not the easiest to monitor, but our Mt Gibson scientists recently caught 10!
Genetic samples confirm breeding, while our camera traps shows an expanding range.
165 have been reintroduced to the sanctuary since 2017.

I'll be saving this in my folder labeled "Citations that prove #SciComm is science too and I know what I'm doing" and hopefully anthropomorphizing responsibly for effective communication in the near future. #ScienceOfSciComm

I was curious about the recombinant nanoparticle technology of the Novavax #COVID19 vaccine & this mini animation was a great (though not very colorful) introduction. #SciArt #SciComm
4 Feb 2021
Novavax recently reported efficacy numbers for its vaccine, which uses a distinct technology from other already-authorized #COVID19 vaccines.
This animation shows the workings of the vaccine. Learn more: fcld.ly/dbecyh6 @ScienceVisuals

"Other work with the flies has... helped researchers using them to win six Nobel Prizes."
As a former member of a fly lab, I was super excited to see @flystocks covered by @nytimes!

Another way to think about these lags is that some of the people who are infected on Thanksgiving will enter the hospital in the middle of December, and the morgue around Christmas.

This PopSci article has clear explanations of why temp checks are just "health theater" performances & protect nobody from #COVID19. “The temperature check is of no value. It should be abandoned,” says Eric Topol, executive VP of Scripps Research.

Public health guidelines change as scientific understanding of the virus/disease changes. Glad to see the irrelevance of body temp also being discussed in Japan!
