How we’ve missed political leaders with a genuine sense of humor

I heard about this cool story while visiting Madison recently... Congrats to the authors on their PrePrint! 🎉 Influenza continues to be such a pesky pathogen, brandishing so many unique Swiss-Army knives 🔪

10/10 Recommend visiting a city while their team is in playoffs - the energy during every play, the high fives, the cheers, even the "boooo"... Can't say that I'm always a hardcore football fan, but it's been fun to celebrate the highs and lows with the True Fans! Maybe they'll convert me! :P

It's a special kind of cruel that the science gods will grace your side experiments, while at the same time lighting your main-project work on fire 🔥🙃 Maybe if I "swap" then I can trick them into making my main stuff start working again?? 🤔

Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻 Hope everyone's family had plenty of candy and fun tonight! 🕷️🕸️ Science to continue on Monday, enjoy the holi-daze ☺️

$1,005.00 and ~5 miles later - the @GammonLab crew crushed it at the Making Stride Against Breast Cancer ACS event this weekend!
My experience from handing out free goodies at the UTSW table is that top items people go for are 1) Hand Sanitizer and 2) Sunscreen 🌞 and 3) Carabiners

Sorry for spam follows, I'm making a bit of a transition from "the other" app.. If you're interested in Microbiology - such as Bacterial Effector proteins or Arboviral infections - you may have come across some of my stuff already!
