Really great work generating two closest viruses to SARS-CoV-2 but which are unadulterated bat viruses (and not passaged through bridge hosts or humans). I suspect these are just the tip of the iceberg for sarbecoviruses related to SARS-CoV-2.

Nice paper on ancestral merbecovirus recombination that may have lead to MERS-CoV's acquisition of DPP4 binding. The Sato Lab (Kei Sato) Spyros Lytras virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A really great opportunity to study mucosal immunology to viruses. And, an all-around great person!

And also deer mice.
