Insight into why bat influenza A viruses can't reassort with conventional influenza A viruses.

science and fun 🧵: Our study of 🦇🦠🇻🇳 has been published. Many new genomes: 32 SARSCoVr, 4 SARSCoV2r, and 2 recombinants of SARSCoVr and SARSCoV2r (RecSar), a spike protein closely related to that of SARS-CoV-2, evidence of co-inf with 4 different CoVs doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…

Nice paper on the modular nature of bat sarbecoviruses in horseshoe bat species - many more viruses discovered in Vietnam (and elsewhere in SE Asia). One bat was infected by 4 distinct CoVs. Gabor Kemenesi onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

The scale and intensity of Israel's four-day incursion in Jenin is very alarming. Israeli forces keep obstructing access to health facilities blocking and even targeting ambulances, delaying people’s access to care.

Wow. Aerial video of massive protest in Tel Aviv, Israel tonight of nearly 300,000 people, demanding a ceasefire hours after bodies of 6 hostages were retrieved from Gaza tunnel. Largest rally since war:

Our lab at Cornell is hiring a postdoc to lead investigations of viral #zoonoses in #Bats and develop strategies for pandemic prevention. Background in #DiseaseEcology, #OneHealth, #EEID, or epidemiology. More details here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28001

Great opportunity to join a really supportive and collaborative team!

Congratulations to Professor Euan Ritchie 🌏 🌳 🐾 🔥 🎶 , passionate scientist, conservationist and science communicator. Well deserved. Thanks for all your advocacy!

Amazing paper! Seems there is something with farmed carnivores and potentially zoonotic viruses…

Looks like a great PhD opportunity - “Mechanical transmission of pathogens by mosquitoes” 🦟

Human and bat lives are inextricably connected, and this unusual study teases out exactly how. I really enjoyed reporting on this earlier this week, w thanks to Tess McClure theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Bats are amazing and important for human health! Study finds increase in infant mortality in areas where #bats have been wiped out by white nose syndrome due to increased pesticide use. 🦇❤️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
