We are ONLINE! 🤗 This is our Bluesky channel for the project SHIELD.

SHIELD is a health research project funded by the European Union and co-funded by SERI. The SHIELD consortium involving partners from all over Europe will develop molecular tools to prepare the EU for future pandemic events. 💪

Ich habe mit Florian Schumann über die Kontroverse zur Herkunft von SARS-CoV-2 gesprochen - ohne Daten wird es weiterhin schwierig bleiben, sich festzulegen oder auch nur die Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu Wichten. Danke für diesen ausgewogenen Artikel!

Dear US scientists and academics, please join us in Europe for some academic freedom and a glass or two of delicious Chablis.

We are excited to be part of the SHIELD consortium working on Henipa, Flavi and Lassa viruses!
