💡 Not only are viruses truly everywhere,
they are also incredible tools!!

--> for example as stimulants for our immune system to help fight recurrent cancer

Thanks to Nicole F Steinmetz PhD and Eric Chung for fascinating insights into their research!

TWiV 1099: Volker Lohmann, as persistent as his viruses 🦠 Vincent travels to the University of Heidelberg to speak with Volker Lohmann about his career and the research of his laboratory on hepatitis C virus, hepatitis A virus, and norovirus. 📺 bit.ly/3IRE4mD

💡Sunlight and chemistry are a powerful duo!

☝ Using catalysts fuelled by sunlight to break down pollutants has come one step closer to widespread application.

Why use complex media and substrates if plastic cups and water do the trick?

Such an elegant method that just needed someone to show it – in the field, tested by propagating hundreds of cassava genotypes. Nice work Samar Sheat, Ph.D.🌿 and Dr. Stephan Winter !

💡Nanoengineering meets biomedicine:

Many thanks to Samuel Sánchez, Noelia Ruiz González and David Esporrín-Ubieto for sharing their research and vision with me! And to Victoria Corless for her great edits and infinite attention to detail.

Arthropod-borne bunyaviruses and lipids - what a journey! I am so excited to share our new paper on the role of glucosylceramide for Uukuniemi virus infectivity, which was just published in CMLS Springer Nature link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/7

The book 'Virus Infected Cells' edited by Swetha Vijayakrishnan, Yaming Jiu and Robin Harris is out! Thank you for letting us (@SophieLiWi) contribute . There are many nice chapters including cryo-ET and soft-X-ray! Happy to share it privately upon request.

I'm so happy our study is out now! It was exciting to uncover Ebola virus membrane fusion literally layer by layer ;-)! Thanks so much to everyone involved, it was truly inspiring to work with you and combine insights from so many different fields!

Scharfe Kritik von Marina Weisband beim #NATOTalk2022 : #Russland führe seit Jahren hybriden Krieg gegen den Westen „bis auf Talkshowebene“, doch die Politik weigere sich, das anzuerkennen. Ihr Vorschlag: #Zivilgesellschaft und lokale Initiativen stärken.

2 years ago, everything was going great in my mid-career lab.

Making a choice to reduce stress and prioritize my health turned out to have ripple effects - my colleagues, family, and friends are reaping the benefits, as am I.

So excited about our preprint on the role of matrix proteins during Ebola virus entry!

Thanks a lot for this amazing collaborative work! :)

Two distinct species #CBSV and #UCBSV causing #CBSD with the same impact on #cassava
Difficult to distinguish! but we can and I share with you: The viruses have different invasion strategies
#CBSV causes beautiful vein clearing #symotoms as it unloads from the lateral leaf veins
