I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

This is an amazing resource: the receipts on how academia is responding, case by case, to the pause in funding.
Academic Skyers: I am compiling a list of policies and statements from various universities about how they are handling the "pause" in terms of stopping expenditures (or not).
Please respond to this post with your institution and materials.
THANK YOU!

Excellent study by my Penn-CEIRR colleagues showing that a single HA substitution in H5 (at same exact residue that changed in the British Columbia case!) enables efficient H5N1 binding to receptors in the human upper airway.

🌍🦠 H5N1 avian influenza is resurging with alarming traits. Once confined to poultry in Asia, it’s now global, causing wild bird die-offs & spilling into mammals. What’s next for this highly pathogenic virus? #H5N1 #Influenza
