Realization from a group discussion of data/methods today - many people are uncomfortable with gray areas in data interpretations. Not every data set has binary/definitive conclusions - that’s perfectly fine. Just show ALL the data and tell me how you got there. #ScienceTwitter

#prouddad moment: 4 swims 4 wins in the AR 6A #highschoolswim state championship! So much fun to watch - esp coming from way back to win the 400 FR! Both women’s and men’s teams are state runners up. #littlerockcentralhighschool @lrsd #swimdad #statechamp

I literally feel sick to my stomach with every clip I see from the RNC. I vote split ticket. I pick the candidate I think is best for the job. I can’t handle selling fear and lies. The pandemic response is horrible. Scaring people doesn’t fix systemic racism. #BLM #COVID19

Did I miss something @CDCgov? As we open up schools and need to identify asymptomatic #Covid_19 spreaders to keep people safe, why we would stop recommending testing of people who are exposed? Looking for a logical explanation.

Back to school during a pandemic - this is essentially a large scale viral transmission experiment using humans. The #scientist in me is curious what will happen. The #parent in me is honestly terrified. Please #WearAMask Stay safe, friends!

Gammaherpesviruses set up shop in B cells- but do they actively shape the antibody profile of the host cells they hold hostage? 🦠 Check out our review! Thanks to @Monika26676667 of McBrideLab ⁦@MDAndersonNews⁩! #herpesforlife mdpi.com/1999-4915/12/8…

Friends, this is NOT a parking lot. That is the line for #COVID drive-thru testing on campus - 6 cars wide right now!!! Before today, I’ve only seen 3 wide. Scary! Here’s the PSA: #WearAMask #WashYourHands #StayAtHome if you can. Stay safe!
