A new X-ray crystallography technique reveals why some silver-based metal-organic materials glow bright blue under UV light, a phenomenon that the scientists affectionately compare to Frodo’s orc-detecting sword ⚔️ from LOTR. @LBNLBiosci @UConn @SLAClab

Nice try #omicron, this treatment is still "inescapable"!
New data shows that sotrovimab, the #antibody treatment I wrote about earlier this year, is now the ONLY available antibody therapy effective against #OmicronVariant
