Exciting job opportunities!
Two postdoc positions are available in the Fodor Lab at
@dunnschool.bsky.social to study influenza virus transcription, genome replication, nuclear export and assembly.

Everything in this article rings true. The vagueness of this EO and the proposed ramifications are unsettling. Any GoF regulations must be clear and explicit, otherwise all infectious disease research could be in limbo. The consequence? Public health. This is disappointing and, sadly, unsurprising.

This bill could dismantle virology research. Please follow this informative thread to see why this is concerning for the field as a whole. It also makes me worried about what jobs I’ll be able to find post-graduation.
Also, hate seeing influenza listed first this document…

I admit I’m very biased towards the new acting director of NIAID. Jeff is a phenomenal mentor and researcher, and an overall stellar human. I look forward to see how he will advocate for NIAID researchers in the interim 🦠

Very happy to have been able to contribute to this study that was published today in Science, which was truly a great collaborative effort. Avian PB1 provides a fitness advantage to IAV at febrile-range temperatures both in vitro and a hyperthermic nouse model 🦠 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Influenza Update Meetings
In 2019, NIAID proposed an ambitious scientific network focused on pandemic preparedness, research, and response - the "CREID Network".
Ten centers kicked off just as the pandemic was taking off, playing critical roles throughout.
We were just notified the whole network is terminated.
Reason? 👇
