Virologist. PI working at but not speaking for USask. Co-EiC of Vaccine. 🇺🇸 in 🇨🇦. Emerging viruses, pathogenesis, zoonosis, host responses, dogs, football, off-color language, transcriptomic chaos. Opinions my own.
Secondary outcome is this takes slack-jawed fascist yokel Markwayne Mullins off the HELP Committee, where he will no longer be able to fawn over quacks like Casey Means, who take advantage of his marked & long-established stupidity.

Yup, especially when it comes to RFK Jr’s most important ally, Jay Bhattacharya—the parallels with Lysenko are uncanny

Busy day...after I talk about sex and viruses in Vienna, I'll be talking about bird flu and pandemic preparedness with @andrewpekosz.bsky.social and Erin Sorrell in DC. If you are in the nation's Capitol, you should join us!

Get a titillating start to the week with my talk about sex & an even HOTTER topic: the 🥰host response to infection🥰 in pathogenesis!
Brace for sexy data about how female hosts defensemaxx against emerging viruses like Ebola & MERS-CoV with woke estrogen. Sorry, fellas…no similar results with T!
You are and if I had more characters I would have been even more effusive
“In summary, excising RNA vaccine research from the NIH research portfolio is antithetical to current goals of making America healthy.”
Grateful to join the great @akelvinlab.bsky.social on why we need to document the impact of MAHA funding cuts to understand the grave consequences that will follow
It wasn’t a surprise to me because Columbia protected my classmate who sexually assaulted me, even after he was kicked out of 2 labs for screaming at the PIs. But it still hit me hard. All these years and I’m so angry. Justice has never been done for any of us.
I have a male friend who spent some time in Axel's lab. About the 3rd conversation he had with Axel, Axel broke the ice with "So, have you fucked [a female postdoc in the lab] yet?"
My friend was horrified...

Here to lend support. Like I said, I wondered how many other women noticed and resented this. I know Nancy and I weren’t the only ones who did.
I like to expand my vocabulary, so thanks to Great Valu Ali Velshi for teaching me that “more natural minded doctors” is the preferred ambulance chaser terminology for “quack.”
Exactly what happened in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe

Take a listen to the latest episode of HOP to learn about the mess that is ACIP and FDA’s blocking of vaccines.

What a great episode to watch and share. Canada is so fortunate to have Dr Rasmussen here working and sharing her knowledge with us. All while enduring Canadian winters. Thank you Dr 🌷
Husband and I went to the new butcher shop in our local strip mall to buy our Valentine steaks. He knows that I love Gold Standard Science so he pointed out we could buy a brick of real food to reaffirm our romance. Our hearts will explode with health!!! ❤️🫀❤️🔥
9/11 trutherism here. Wayfair and Pizzagate resurgences. Stolen elections. Vaccines causing autism…people who believe those theories instrumentalizing them in policy.
The mainstreaming and normalization of conspiracy theories has absolutely happened.
This is really complicated. The situation in the US drives the global vaccine market and the fact that currently HHS is run by anti-vaxxers means everything is very uncertain.
But I agree, Moderna Canada may have an opportunity to step up. We need to figure out how to make it happen.
There is a world class vaccine lab at the University of Saskatchewan. With world class researchers @angierasmussen.bsky.social
Check out our latest episode!

As always, I’m grateful to @microbetv.bsky.social for the opportunity to blow off some steam. It is both a relief and a light in the darkness that has descended upon us. It will get much darker if people stop vaccinating against polio
FDA is refusing to consider Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine. Yet, as @angierasmussen.bsky.social explains, if we had mRNA vax technology for flu, we might have been able to quickly update this season's shots to cover subclade K before it hit the US. @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social reports @sciam.bsky.social
“Ah, a proud assitarian,” the chatbot responds, before listing “Top Assitarian Staples”: “Bananas (firm, not overripe; peeled)” as “the gold standard … choose slightly green ones so they hold shape.” The chatbot also suggests cucumbers & provides a “step-by-step diagram for carving a flared base.”
Can’t market a new product the FDA refuses to review
“This refusal to start a review is confusing…It is surprising & we’re trying to understand what has changed.”-Moderna pres
I understand. Vinay Prasad was going to complain about controls & justify denying review no matter what. It’s his job. Gold Standard Vinay Prasad.
