We need to reopen Alcatraz. There has to be another place in our country for dangerous repeat criminals. The White House only has so much room.

I don't care if "lazy" people get food. I think access to food is a human right... Hope this helps
I love Christmastime in the lab 🎄
Second paper from my thesis work in the @LazearLab, @nigelmgo and I serendipitously found fur plucking to induce HSV reactivation, providing a simple and tractable model to study HSV recurrent disease in the skin! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…
Asheville resident here to say that all the government agencies are here and hard at work. FEMA, state, counties, cities, all very visible and vigorous. Don’t listen to right wing bullshit.
Very excited about our review in Annual Review of Virology: Antiviral and Immunomodulatory Effects of Interferon Lambda at the Maternal-Fetal Interface annualreviews.org/content/journa…
Final presentation today from my time in the @LazearLab showing some of the future directions we are thinking about with IFN-λ and STAT2!!
@LazearLab toured the mammalogy research collection at the NC Museum of Natural History! No viruses but lions, tigers, bears, bats, rodents, and whales oh my!
First, first-author paper published today in mBio and had a chance to celebrate with everyone who made this work happen! @LazearLab @nigelmgo Here we show a protective role for IFN-λ signaling in the skin to restrict severe HSV disease 🦠 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
Excited to share our preprint on a new model to study HSV reactivation-fur plucking!! @nigelmgo @LazearLab

I need folks who are not LGBTQ to understand that today's ruling is not just about a website. It is a clear sign that Obergefell (same sex marriage) and Bostock (LGBTQ employment protections) are in danger of being overturned. This is a devastating ruling. Please understand that.
President Biden did not order the arrest of anyone. Stop lying to the American people.
My undergrad mentee presented his research on HSV-2 today and I could not be more proud of all the growth he has done throughout his time in the lab!
