Beyond excited to share that my project from @MackallLab and @StanfordMed , led by my incredible postdoc-turned-PI @EvanWeberPhD , in collaboration with his new(ish) lab at @ChildrensPhila , is now published in Nature! Check it out here:

FOXO1 is a master regulator of memory programming in CAR T cells

Nature - The transcription factor FOXO1 has a key role in human T cell memory, and manipulating FOXO1 expression could provide a way to enhance CAR T cell therapies by increasing CAR T cell...

The authors write, "More compelling is the possibility that wearing a mask may reduce the likelihood of transmission from asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic health care workers with Covid-19 to other providers and patients." (7/?)

3) The authors conclude, "This change in SpO2 may be either due to the facial mask or the operational stress, since similar changes were observed in the group performing surgery without a mask." That's right, even a *no-mask* control group had SpO2 drop. (5/?)

@ASlavitt A wonderful article from @TheEconomist this week about this very topic. Geometric progression is the name of the game when it comes to infectious disease - unfortunately, we are poor statistical/exponential thinkers.

@aliciaberri @nomadf4i @HttpFairies @KState @KStateDiversity I cannot believe people are actually railing against the idea of taking courses that broaden their worldview. Good lord, it's not like biologists run away arms flailing from physics. Different perspectives...help you in life.

@HODL9ers @NinerNick_22 @AdamSchefter Getting a 5th for a player who is only signed through the end of this year when we have McCaffrey and Mitchell coming back is worth IMO. Why do you think it's a bad trade?

@monica_dantonio @SenTomCotton But Monica you don't understand. STATUES are how you learn history, not scholarly work based on history and first-person narratives. That's why I spent all my history courses staring at a statue of George Washington until I understood America.

@inkyd62 @112MPH_EF1 @stillgray Give me a break. You're saying this 16-year-old doesn't know American History or Government yet you're justifying lethal force for...resisting arrest? You think police should be judge, jury, and executioner? Because THAT shows a total disregard for US justice.

@darakass Also: mortality =/= morbidity. We still don't know much about the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2. What are the medium-long-term effects? How does it affect lung development? How are children affected vs. adults? We're really taking this chance with a whole generation?

@PeterHotez The plural of anecdote is not data. I wish people would understand that their experiences may be real but don't equate to scientific study. It's just a completely different realm of validity.

@obamasghost7 @JuiceCheck44 Stanford and Harvard have very strict academic requirements for student athletes. Beyond working insanely hard in the gym and on the field they're excellent scholars too.

@empiremaker77 @glenninla @MikeDelMoro @JesseRodriguez @JulieNBCNews Best estimates (currently) are 12-18 months. It is an evolving situation, and we haven't run the trials yet. The difficulty with a virus is that it also rapidly mutates, and some can't have vaccines. But fingers crossed you are correct!

Starting with the first study: (PMID 18500410). 1) The *lowest* recorded pulse oximeter reading was ~96% SpO2, which is in the normal range (95%+) (3/?)
