I’m excited to share a new paper about HIV escape from broadly neutralizing antibody monotherapies! In it, we describe the most highly recurrent adaptation I have ever seen. A close collaboration with Lillian Cohn (FHCC) led jointly by Elena Romero and Abby Clyde. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.
Congratulations to Prof. Eva Stukenbrock on her appointment to the Leopoldina.
Her research on fungal pathogens helps us better understand evolution and protect crops.

I have taken
the space
that was in
the -80
and which
you were probably
saving
for an emergency
Forgive me
it was convenient
so open
and so cold
