So, ViroTweeps, my 7th Edition revision of @AJCann's very fine textbook Principles of Molecular Virology has just been published. As a Virology course instructor you can get inspection copies here - please spread the word! protect-za.mimecast.com/s/qU2qCNxKq0i0β¦

Yes, @Prof_GD_Foster, we checked to see if there were more than one. Found none, fortunately! π But a lot of flowers.

In one week, Israel killed 430 Iranians & injured 3,500β¦ It also damaged 5 hospitals, directly bombed 3 & target 6 ambulances. Universities, media buildings & police stations were all attacked. It even used collaborators to set off car bombs. Yet another war on civilians.

I remain profoundly alarmed by the ongoing military escalation between Israel & Iran. I reiterate my call for immediate de-escalation leading to a ceasefire. I strongly appeal to all to avoid any further internationalization of the conflict.
I actually can't believe a group of people who are currently executing starving men, women & children as they queue for flour is demanding our sympathy on the internet.

The escalation of hostilities between #Israel and #Iran is putting health facilities and access to health care at risk. The reports on the attacks on health so far are appalling. This morning's attack on Soroka Medical Center in Israel -- the only major hospital in the south --β¦
Here's a tutorial I wrote on how I design detection and cloning primers using Primer3. Hopefully it's helpful for students. π binomicalabs.notion.site/PCR-Primer-Desβ¦

Isn't American science incredible? 2 doses/year. No detectable viral load. No disease progression. No transmission. Lencapivir can prevent millions of infections & save millions of lives. A real shame nobody will be able to afford it & the government has destroyed HIV research.
The U.S. has approved the worldβs only twice-a-year shot to prevent HIV, maker Gilead Sciences announced Wednesday. abcnews.link/cp30r4W
