Ah the hubris. I can't check the original paper because the DOI is missing (and I don't have time to go searching). But my takeaway is they are avoiding protein targeting altogether. Typical vaccines for something like SARS will t

I was at an R1, public land grant university. By the time I realized how insane it was, I was close enough to graduating that I just decided to stick it out. I wasn't a great undergraduate and didn't have the background I'd h

In state tuition where I was rang up at about $3000/semester. It was waived by the school if you were a TA. If you were doing just research, it was paid out of the grant funds. Then I had to pay about $600 out of pocket on student fees
