Our @CCTSI director of Resources and Services, @kmess44 of @COpedsID, led a newly published study with @VogtVirusLab showing how children's #immune responses to viruses like EVD68, flu, and RSV changed during and after #COVID-19 safety measures. ▶️ buff.ly/Otjt34U

A Commentary by @SCauchemez highlights the importance of population level serologic surveillance, demonstrated by the PREMISE approach, to a paradigm shift in global infectious disease surveillance sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Couldn’t agree more with @kmess44 here. This work is cool in like four different ways. Learning about EV-D68, yes, but also so many more viruses. Strengthening prediction abilities for viruses. And feeding into mAb and vaccine prep. I love it all ❤️
Leading this PREMISE project w @Peds_Hai_D & @VogtVirusLab has been one of the highlights of my career. So many amazing ppl worked together to generate this novel data from a unique immunoepidemiologic approach to infectious disease surveillance. Excited to share our 1st paper!👇

I’m pumped to see this work in print! Congrats to the @hdtbio crew on a very cool EV-D68 vaccine. This was a fantastic way to debut our #AFM mouse model. Glad you brought us on and congrats on getting the cover, to boot!
🧵 New in @ScienceTM and on the cover! science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… After developing RNA vaccines for several different enveloped viruses, we realized that no one had done so for nonenveloped viruses. In this paper, we sought to do just that, with a focus on a prototype picornavirus.

Check out this column piece by PMN Co-founder, Taylor Tibbs. She discusses how having a peer network can be a powerful force in relieving some of the difficulties associated with grad school and beyond.
In 2020, I created the Peer Mentor Network (PMN) beside other driven grad students/postdocs. @_peermentor @JennyLoome @Jilarie4 @MadeOfMicrobes @Lacey_R_Lopez I had the privilege to author a column piece about PMN published in @NatureCareers. Many thanks to @KendallSciWrite!

💯 But also get the Global Entry ($100). Well worth it. Your time, not to mention sanity, has value. I don’t know how to properly assign that value, but it’s definitely worth this
Just a friendly reminder to all my postdoc friends "on the market" get your TSA Pre-check now. its good for 5 years and only 80$ (so like its basically free right?)

Quick reminder to be kind to your ID pharmacists as these exciting, groundbreaking new therapies come online and we figure out how to best get them implemented. Also, Bill, my daughter is due in November, so I have a quick question about nirsevimab…

Since not everyone can be interested in viruses (crazy, I know), I also fully endorse the @IPishchany lab! We are thrilled she joined the team at @UNC_SOM Peds ID. Cool science, and a great person to work with, to boot. Do yourself a favor and see what she’s up to
With the anaerobic chamber installed and my name on the door, it’s officially time to announce the launch of the Hood-Pishchany Lab at UNC Chapel Hill! Follow along if you’re into microbial ecology, vaginal microbiome, sexual and reproductive health! #CarolinaVaginaLab #ShEcology
