HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers have developed a DENTAL FLOSS that can DELIVER vaccines THROUGH the gums, a method that could one day offer a NEEDLE-FREE alternative for vaccination. This approach effectively stimulated immunity AND provided FULL protection against a lethal strain of influenza. 🧪🧵⬇️

And in an unlikely turn of events, jellyfish are just floating underwater bird feeders

In the Arctic, baby fish seek cover inside the stinging tentacles of jellyfish, but birds, having figured out the bit, now swim underwater, through the tentacles, & eat them 🧪

Got to hang out with legendary herp and primate researcher Russ Mittermeier. Showed him around one of my mud turtle sites and got the target species plus a couple more. He gifted me a few books and even signed his Lemurs of Madagascar book for me!

www.iucnredlist.org/species/1634... might seem a little trivial with all the crazy happenings, but I was able to help assess and write an IUCN redlist assessment up for Striped Mud turtles two years ago, and it just came out. Fortunately/Unfortunately we elevated their status to near threatened.

Some of my students presented their work on Amphiuma as posters at SEPARC2025. And Another former student presented a talk on her finished work on Cane Toad Immune response! Very proud of this group!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
