    Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

    This question is a little complicated because mutation rate and variant rise is dependent on circulation/infection rates. Thus, those numbers are higher in a zero vaccinated population so it may be more likely that mutations which would confer resistance would arise in such a population...

    Pictures from 2021 ACC Championship Weekend

    Whoever that is in the white shirt right in the middle was in peak form for the game. Sat right by him and he was entertaining.

    Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

    It’s about the nature of the immune response induced. Natural infection (at least to other coronaviruses) does not induce an immune response that drives long lasting memory responses. Hence “short term” immunity. Vaccines, on the other hand, are designed to induce long term memory responses. So...

    Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

    That’s not exactly how it works. For starters, we don’t know what a protective T cell response is for COVID-19. Just because there is cross-reactivity doesn’t mean those memory cells would be effective at fighting the virus. It is the nature of the memory response that matters, not just the...

    Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

    This really isn’t the case for COVID. You have Nature level papers on N’s of 3-5. Put that in perspective and trust me (as an infectious disease researcher) that it is a HUGE red flag for a paper with these supposed findings to be published in that journal. ETA: I have a paper that is going to...

    Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

    The number of additional people who will die or have serious long term complications as a result of a bunch of people refusing to wear a mask in public and stay a little farther from people is just disgusting to think about.

    Thanks. It is in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine so around the hospital. Seems like we started looking in the right places. Thanks all for the suggestions.

    We have been looking mainly in Dekalb so far just based initially on where Emory is and looking for places with decent schools. Have seen some stuff around Tucker and Dunwoody. What would that type of a commute look like? We are looking for houses in the $350k-450k range ideally but can go a...

    It is on the Faculty and would plan this stop to be 10+ years, if not my final institution. Things can change quickly in biomedical research. But definitely looking more long term

    This thread seems as good a place as any to ask this. I think I will be accepting a position at Emory. Am looking for recommendations on local realtors and/or areas of the city to look for properties in. Two kids, 6 and 8 months. School quality is important but they don’t have to have the...

    Covid-19 - Treatments & Vaccines

    Tocilizumab does seem to help, at least anecdotally. I am involved in setting up a couple of trials to investigate this further. I am an Immunologist who studies acute viral infections, specifically infections which drive potent inflammation and tissue damage/dysfunction as is seen in COVID19...

    2018 Pit Fantasy Football League Two - Draft 9/5 8:30 PM; draft order in last post

    I have edited the schedule. Each team will play division members twice and all other teams from 2 divisions once. Season begins with alternating division, non-division and ends with 2 weeks with division matchups to add a little excitement to the playoff push

    2018 Pit Fantasy Football League Two - Draft 9/5 8:30 PM; draft order in last post

    Potentially. We are at 16 so I can't add any more teams without finding 3 more. There may be one team from last year that is not active (well maybe more than one but one I can ID). It is possible she can have that slot but I won't know until closer to the date. Need to send an email to see if...

    2018 Pit Fantasy Football League Two - Draft 9/5 8:30 PM; draft order in last post

    I cannot edit the poll, as far as I can tell. Vote for the days, not the dates. That is just a place holder so I could finalize some things with the league it won't let me do until I set that date. I will change it if other days end up with more votes.
