Sobering to think of the possibility that we might one day be grateful that these early waves were scrimmage matches that gave us time to tool-up, should a future variant have mortality rates on par with say SARS1 (10%).

So when I tell you we are lucky that Mother Nature gave us a practice virus to learn on with all of the #CovidVariants to date, listen to me. We have to stay humble & recognize that if we abandon masks now, we are giving this virus a mindboggling # of chances to mutate. /18

It’s the end of the beginning for #SyntheticBiology. This pic of a grey-haired 🤭 @DrewEndy wearing an @iGEM 2006 shirt looking at $DNA banner did it for me. Proud @Ginkgo sent up a flare, but we are a big community in #synbio and the world is about to take notice. We’re ready.🧵

The multiyear, multiphase competition will incentivize the development of next-generation diagnostics, with the ultimate goal of an FDA-approved, direct diagnostic test.

(1/n) Excited to share Handyfuge-LAMP; a low-cost & electricity-free centrifugation for isothermal SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva. With COVID19 cases increasing globally, diagnostics needs to be accessible to everyone - including resource limited regions medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It's long past time to get rid of policies that block researchers' efforts to engage, respect, & honor the civil rights of research volunteers. A rather egregious example is a PDF that appeared on @CMSgov website in '14 @geochurch & I explain @statnews 1/n statnews.com/2020/06/29/unsi…

So, back to this PDF. We are fortunate that legal scholars, Barbara Evans and Susan Wolf, devoted an entire legal review to assess its legal standing. TLDR; questionable, at best. floridalawreview.com/2020/a-… But, that hasn't stopped the chilling effect it has had on researchers. 6/n

w/ @MichelleNMeyer, we wrote a forum commentary unpacking key take-home messages for researchers that seek to both advance scientific discovery & explore alternative models of governance that engage, respect, & honor the civil rights of volunteers. floridalawreview.com/2020/pr… /end

The Lyme rash (erythema migrans) on skin of color is difficult to find in dermatological references and I'm asked often to provide some, so I was delighted to receive this (I'm assured the young man pictured made a full recovery).

How to use #CRISPR gene editing to fight heart disease, the #1 killer worldwide:
A thread 10 years in the making.
This one starts in 2009 when I was a postdoc in @skathire lab @MassGeneralNews/@broadinstitute studying ❤ risk factors like cholesterol & triglycerides.

🚨I wrote about COVID-19 long-haulers—the thousands of people who’ve been struggling with *months* of debilitating symptoms. Many have faced disbelief from friends and medical professionals because they don’t fit the typical profile of the disease. 1/

Lyme advocacy has the unique and incredible history of being driven forward by mothers who KNEW that something was happening to their children. Keep fighting for good science and for progress mamas!

RT-LAMP test for #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 from Brian Rabe and Connie Cepko: 30 min, requires a 65 °C bath (does not require a PCR machine or other specialized equipment), can detect 1 viral RNA copy per µL, works on saliva, readout is color change.
