3. In 2011, a worker at a Canadian mine discovered an almost perfectly preserved 110-million-year-old nodosaur. Scientists consider this the best-preserved dinosaur ever found, with its skin, armor, and internal organs remarkably intact.
I’m excited to announce that we were awarded an #MRFF EMCR grant! An incredible team of EMCRs @UQ_SCMB developing broad spectrum vaccines for emerging RNA viruses. @Ari1saacs @ChrisLDMcMillan @RhysHParry @cusycon @gabefoley Jessica Harrison & Yu Shang Low.
I like sciencing! I wear the same PPE mom wears. Sometimes we don’t have to wear goggles. Those are days we are writing reports. I still help her everyday though. #servicedog in #science #neuroscience #research #laboratory #molecular #cellular #biology
A couple of weeks ago BA.2.75.2 was shown to be the most immune evasive variant seen to date and replicated. That's now been surpassed by XBB, which is predicted here may challenge BA.5 bivalent vaccine protection biorxiv.org/content/10.110… by @yunlong_cao and colleagues

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!
World Mosquito Day. The Watterson lab focuses on understanding the 3D structure of viruses to help guide new vaccines and therapies for important human pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes, such as dengue, Zika and West Nile virus.tinyurl.com/2p8dbtep

They found the cause of SIDS THEY FOUND THE CAUSE OF SIDS Excuse me while I cry for all the parents, including lead researcher Dr Carmel Harrington, who lived with guilt. And cry happy tears for parents in the future who will have access to screening and prevention. 😭
More evidence BA.4 and BA.5 and now BA.2.12.1, (which is highly prevalent in NY) escape antibodies generated by infection with BA.1, increasing likelihood of reinfection, and may also have more immune evasion to current vaccines than BA.2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… h/t @EricTopol
📍SWITCH UP BOOSTER—New study shows the Moderna vaccine (aka mRNA-1273) elicits very different antibody-response & different natural killer T cell response than Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine. Hence, perhaps best to switch & cross-boost with other than original. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
New preprint alert! Interested in how inflammation is triggered in COVID-19? Us too… so we asked why macrophages aren’t infected with SARS-CoV-2 and why they don’t trigger an anti-viral and pro-inflammatory response. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread… 🧵
New and illuminating on Omicron's BA.1 and BA.2 sister variants from a Denmark household transmission study medrxiv.org/content/10.110… More than doubling of susceptibility of infection for BA.2 (vs BA.1), but increased transmissibility not seen for 2-dose, 3-dose households
