New paper from @taaron24 and co-authors which shows how TNFalpha inflammation reduces antibody duration by driving plasma cells out of the bone marrow. Thanks to our collaborators in @ChandranLab lab.

Hope pan-Ebola cocktail MBP134, discovered by @ZABornholdt, @AnnaWec1, @LauraWa27423872, @RobertWCross, @bmgunn31++others, developed by Mapp+@BARDA, makes it into people. Single dose reverses severe Sudan virus disease in nonhuman primates. In Phase I rn. tinyurl.com/ynhdrjan
With 64 probable infections and 30 deaths across 5 districts, the Ebola outbreak in Uganda is already one of the largest on record.
See why @DanielBausch2, @BrakaFiona, @ChandranLab, and Gary Kobinger are worried in my latest for @Nature:

Last Monday my PhD advisor, Marc Caron, died suddenly. Everyone who knew him is grieving. He was a phenomenal family man, mentor, and scientist.
Hearing stories throughout the week has been helping me cope so I wanted to share some of my fav Marc memories

The Best Scientists 🧵
I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑🔬
Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆
And everybody respects them.
