Our new preprint is out! We analyse flaws in the #COVID19 research pipeline (e.g. 43% of fast-tracked articles had conflicts of interest!), argue that #openscience can help solve these problems,

A year ago in Nature Biotechnology, Becht et al. argued that UMAP preserved global structure better than t-SNE. Now @GCLinderman and me wrote a comment saying that their results were

Literally nothing I love more than examining neuronal circuits as signal integrators. The @mnitabach lab shows feeding-state-dependent taste-experience alteration of FSB activity. Signal integration ahoy! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.

If you want to come up with a prior* for the possible long-term dynamics of SARS-CoV-2, there are two recent papers that I think are useful... (*Prior: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_probability) 1/ First,

The AstraZeneca/Oxford (AZ) COVID vaccine (ChAdOx) results in South Africa are concerning. * The AZ vaccine had 75% efficacy against mild COVID through October 2020.* But only 22% efficacy more

My 2nd PhD preprint is now out: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.04.425303v1. We found that different GABAergic neuron classes in CA3 & DG bidirectionally modulate internal and external drive measured in CA1. #tweeprint b

Yesterday, I pretended to be a normal infectious disease reporter for a day and wrote about an interesting new preprint: the first report of leprosy in wild chimpanzees. Quick thread

How did a group of Neotropical Grass Frogs adapt to prey on chemically-defended toads? If you can believe it, the protein function and molecular evolution sides of the story are

COVID causes blood vessel injuries and blood clots, which in turn may lead to brain strokes and ischemic organ failures. This can happen while battling COVID, or weeks/months/years after recovery.@RileyBehrens

Important new study by Wibmer et al (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.18.427166v1) of neutralization by convalescent sera on wildtype vs 501Y.V2 variant viruses circulating in South Africa. It shows that mutations present in

In new work, we show a human coronavirus evolves to escape neutralization by antibody immunity (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.17.423313v1). Specifically, we studied the historical evolution of the common-cold CoV-229E to l
