This piece on infection history as a driver of individual heterogeneity in infection outcomes was fun to think about and to write with @chadisaadroy.bsky.social and Mike Boots. Also suggest that systems like #Drosophila can offer useful tools to tackle the epidemiological consequences.
Forecasting the effects of #epidemics is complicated by a population’s pathogen exposure history. @pfvale.bsky.social @chadisaadroy.bsky.social & Mike Boots argue for the use of experimental #DiseaseEcology to better understand the consequences of variations in #infection history 🧪

Good for Harvard for standing up to these hooligans. Their strategy is to hope that the rest of the country will be as cowardly as the DC GOP. We preserve our democracy by showing them - en masse - that Americans are more patriotic and courageous than that. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
Harvard hit with $2.2 billion funding freeze after rejecting Trump’s demands
The administration demanded changes to policies and governance due to allegations of antisemitism, illegal DEI. Harvard called the directives unconstitutional.

Maybe it's a good time to remind everyone that 40% of US Nobel Prize winners are immigrants.

I know both professional and personal life are important. But when people only like my personal life and cute photos but no my professional posts, I would think either those people don’t agree with my career or thinking being “girl” is more important than pursuing professional.

I.. saw someone posting, "LeetCode is for people who don't have GitHub." in a Silicon Valley job interview discussion.
Afterward, I created a GitHub repository to prove this person was wrong.
