El International Oncolytic Virus Conference se reunirá en septiembre de 2027 en el Palacio Fonseca, de la Universidad de Salamanca.
Detrás de la candidatura hay una salmantina que ha vuelto para traer a casa este campo: Sara Cuadrado Castaño. Un punto y aparte para la ciencia española.

'STORM' is a short documentary about Scott Hugo. A story of Long COVID's impact on his life and family - a reminder of what is at stake in research on Long COVID.
His resilience humbles me.
Please watch and share 🙏🏼

Is there an association between human herpesviruses (HHVs) reactivation and Long COVID? We analyzed HHV DNA shedding in saliva and found that HHV-6 correlates with Long COVID severity. Claire Laxton, @S_Tabachnikova, Lily Cooke, Kexin Wang et al.

Dear journalists,
neither Andes virus nor Bundibugyo virus are Hanta- or Ebola-VARIANTS, respectively.
They are virus SPECIES.
Species differ much more from each other than variants do.
Thank you for your attention to this matter

My postdoc told me tonight that he received the best advice ever from one of the world's most prominent scientists: "Work with people who think they are lucky." This is so true. This trait is inherently optimistic, opportunity‑seeking, resilient, high‑agency behavior.

Excited to see the launch of this collaboration with @USUHS. By leveraging longitudinal blood samples years before diseases occur, we want to identify biomarkers of disease years before symptoms moving medicine from reactive treatment to true prevention.

Rogan was born 3 years after the measles vaccine was approved. He didn’t see kids with measles growing up.
He’s confusing measles and chickenpox.
Joe Rogan: "Measles was what everyone got when I was a kid, and what happened was you'd get sick for a few days, and then you'd be immune for life. They're making it look like everyone's dying from measles."
Community note
Joe Rogan was born August 1967.
Due to Vaccines Measles rates dropped significantly - so when he was a kid "everyone didn't get Measles".
He might be confusing Measles with Chicken Pox, which was prevalent at that time
