Why do adults carrying excess weight seem so vulnerable to Covid? The coronavirus can invade body fat, researchers have found.  nyti.ms/31INX3F

Top 5 cases/capita in the world in any country or state with population >1 million 1. Louisiana 121/100,000 2. Georgia (country) 100/100,000 3. Florida 99/100,000 4. Mississippi 96/100,000 5. Botswana 96/100,000 Fully vaccinated in Georgia and Botswana 6%

Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had 580 people in hospital, 12 deaths In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)? 6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths Per capita , least vaccinated states have 10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths So yeah, vaccines are working

QUICK THREAD ON VACCINES & DELTA: Friday's @PHE_uk report said that viral load in infected vaccinated people was similar to that of uninfected people. As has been pointed out by others, this does *not* mean all is lost and vaccines don't work. 10 tweet thread explaining why!

We focused this study on MDR Staph and E coli vaccines. The technology could be applied to bacterial, viral, fungal infections in human & veterinary medicine

Proud to contribute to this work led by Dave Mooney @wyssinstitute and his team that resulted in the development of a powerful new broad spectrum infection vaccine. Useful for antibiotic resistant organisms and for ring vaccination protection even with pathogen ID unknown
Researchers at #hseas and @wyssinstitute have developed a biomaterial-based infection vaccine that could prevent a range of bacterial infections and septic shock: buff.ly/3AJp1G7 @natBME

fascinating to see these multiple low affinity, high avidity interactions !
This rotating #SARSCoV2 glycosylated Spike protein bound to glycosylated receptor ACE2 suggests glycans can influence recognition and virus binding. And it is just fun to watch. #COVID19

Took a while - those Mcr teams kept getting in the way ! Great photos
Brilliant 😎
We are so excited that we were able to raise over $600 for the Boston Resiliency Fund with our Bridge Over Troubled Water video last month! Thank you to all who donated and shared!
