I conducted preliminary phylogenetic analyses using H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b genomes in North America with 2024 collection dates in GISAID. Here are some initial insights 1/7
Great to be in Hannover for #Keystone HIV & (Re)Emerging Viruses! Despite rain, it's been a great 1st day - esp. talks from Sarah Gilbert on how we can better develop test & distribute vaccines & @wendybarclay11 on how to reduce flu pandemic risk & better curb spread #KSHIVPATH24
Have thoroughly enjoyed everyone's wonderfully eclipse photos - the next best thing to seeing it myself! Vielen Dank!🙏🏻🌚🌝
With the #2024Eclipse today, those high above the clouds will have the best view. Multiple airlines have flights along the path of totality, but it looks like one will stay within the path the entire flight: @AirCanada’s #AC1070.
I have a preprint out! Evidence for extensive appearance of chatGPT/LLM derived text in scholarly papers, signalled by words that mysteriously became a lot more popular in 2023 - eg "commendable". I estimate upwards of 60,000 papers last year (& rising...) arxiv.org/abs/2403.16887
Unpopular opinion coming up. I screen a bunch of preprints for BioRxiv, have done for a decade. I think these are fairly representative of what is published generally - e.g. similar in quality, etc., even though only ~20% of papers are preprinted. /1

Brief academic story. July 2022: I am encouraged to apply for a job in Germany. I apply. February 2023: A semi-cryptic email invites me to send more documents to be considered as part of the short list. Documents are essentially the same as sent in 2022, but yeah ok fine.

Hey @SkyUK your customer service agent was super helpful this morning, but did just advise me to put my old *router* in the plastics recycle bin...! 😅😱🙅🏻♀️ Can you please give employees info on how to recycle electronics, so these things end up in the right place! Thanks! 😁

A very interesting comment by @thijskuiken in @ScienceMagazine on putative #H5N1 replication in the udder of cows, and transmission during milking via milking machines. Would be really a remarkable transmission way for a respiratory virus!
In @ScienceMagazine: Based on the initial reports of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in dairy cows, one can hyphothesize that the main presentation is mastitis, with virus excretion into milk and cow-to-cow spread via milking machines. #vogelgriep science.org/content/articl…

@Jean__Fisch Great thread! It made me think of one of the very first articles I wrote on Covid, it was based on a nice paper by @firefoxx66 published in smw.ch/index.php/smw/…
Hey #dengue researchers - we are building a community resource page for DENV surveillance. Please respond with links of protocols, pipelines, resources that we should include: - sequencing - PCR - bioinformatics - case data aggregation - sero assays - other useful tools
We were very lucky! It was heavily overcast but we could see glimpses of the shrinking sun every now and then. And during the 4 min totality we had two of those glimpses. We saw the black eye!
That was fun! See you next time
The PB2 gene tree is where things get interesting. There is a 10-fold change in the scale along the x-axis, demonstrating much more divergence in this gene compared to HA & NA. There are also very distinct clades on this tree 4/7
If there's any good news here, it's that most of the genomic diversity that differentiates recent mammalian samples in North America is occurring in a gene that's not one of the vaccine targets 5/7
