TWITTER FOR SCIENCE-ROUNDUP#2

Here is my compilation of useful/interesting twitter threads that I collected during the week

Why don’t we have vaccines for Coronaviruses? Dr.Natalie, Assistant Professor at University of Florida explains,

Why don't we have a vaccine for SARS? MERS? HIV? These viruses have been around longer than SARS-CoV-2. A mini-thread to provide some perspective and even a little dose of optimism. We are not in the same situation here. 1/7

The feelings of PhDs

Doing a PhD is like having lots of jigsaw pieces and you don’t understand how they fit together, but every now and then you find two pieces that connect and have that lightbulb “aha” moment. Just had one today and it feels great ☺️👌🏻 #AcademicChatter #phdchat #phdlife

I sometimes wonder if I’ve done my PhD wrong. I’ve NEVER worked a weekend (excluding fieldwork), I rarely work past 5 and I often treat myself to a week off. I think my thesis is good, but this sort of tweet makes me wonder if I’ve seriously underestimated it. #AcademicChatter https://t.co/KwE6PDzugz

Into the microscopic world!

LET ME AT IT!
-An immune-system macrophage (large) senses an intruder (zymosan)
...the chase ends in the macrophage enveloping and devouring it in the process of "phagocytosis"

Journey deep into a root. In this laser scan, #plant is shown in blue and symbiotic mycorrhizal #fungus in red. What we call plants are really algae that have evolved to farm #fungi, and fungi that have evolved to farm #algae. Intimacies within intimacies.
