- Do you want to recap the highlights of the last @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social meeting? Have a read of the AVS12 Meeting Report 👇
- Exciting news! The AVS12 Meeting Report is now published in the @asm.org Journal of Virology! 🎉 AVS prides itself on supporting diverse voices in virology through career development, Indigenous engagement, collaboration, and recognition of excellence. Read it here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
- Did you know the more SARS-COV-2 vaccines you get, the more IgG4 you will have? But what does this mean? Read all about it in @ruthamypurcell.bsky.social PhD paper! @amywchung.bsky.social @kev-in-science.bsky.social @viralvaxlab.bsky.social

- Are giant viruses one "acident" away from becoming a single cell organism? Maybe!? This is a question that will be occupying space in my brain for the foreseeable future 🤣 www.frontiersin.org/journals/mic...

- Breaking news 🗞 A photo of me in my natural habitat has been captured today 📸 🤣 Thanks to the organisers of #AVS12 for the chance to present our work & the audience for sticking around for the last session of the conference 🙏
- Next up is Samantha Davis @iamdrsam.bsky.social (ACDP, CSIRO) who is discussing New Insights Into Immune Dysregulation at the cellular and transcriptional level Following Infection of Domestic Pigs With Virulent African Swine Fever Virus. ASFV is fatal in pigs in almost 100% of cases #AVS12
- Today is the day! I will be speaking in the last session of the last day at #AVS12 sharing a snippet of a very cool story involving pigs & a nasty virus called African swine fever virus 🐷 Hope I will see you there (promise I will be more engaging than Ross) 😊 @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social
- How do we help support & increase Indigenous researchers in virology? Well, it starts with education (get kids interested in cool science!), is supported by policy & strengthend through respect & science communication 🗣 #AVS12 #STEM #firstscientists @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social
- Reposted by I Am Dr.SamFascinating talk from @marypetrone.bsky.social examining virosphere in aquatic animals like corals, sea sponges, and tunicates, the latter which have flu like viruses! @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social #AVS12 #viralsky #socool #scienceyeah
- Reposted by I Am Dr.SamNext up is Marios Koutsakos @marioskoutsakos.bsky.social who is presenting Antigenic evolution of the influenza B virus HA over 80 years of circulation in humans. Marios has apologised for only including one phylogenetic tree in his talk in this evolutionary virology session. #AVS12
- Reposted by I Am Dr.SamAmazing work from @nataleenewton.bsky.social showing the utility of the Binjari platform for TBF structures!
- Bringing the Structural Virology section home strong is Natalee Newton @nataleenewton.bsky.social who is sharing her Chimeric viral platform that enables high-resolution cryoEM analysis and antigenic characterization of diverse pathogenic tick-borne #flaviviruses. #AVS12 almost every TBF visualised!
- Reposted by I Am Dr.SamI've made a starter pack for Aussie virologists joining Bluesky at #AVS12. Let me know if you would like to be added- please share 🤗 @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social go.bsky.app/FgBEzfcat://did:plc:q5x5wlbe4gr6pg47d5cnq7aj/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lch3zsj52u2q
- Amazing work @royalfizzbin.bsky.social 👏 the self proclaimed dirt queen 👸 Such a feat. getting that much RNA from soil! #AVS12
- A fantastic talk on RNA virus diversity in Australian soil from our dirt queen and master of giant trees @royalfizzbin.bsky.social #AVS
- Great to see some multivalent DNA vaccine development against such a nasty virus 💉 Can't wait to see where this goes in the future 🚀 #AVS12

- Did you know there are viruses big enough to have their own viruses? Chantel Abergel went back to the land of dinosaurs in the permafrost to discover many weird and wonderful giant viruses 🤯 #AVS12 #virology @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social
- So cool! It's amazing how chimeric viruses can be used a vaccines 💉 #AVS12
- Brilliant talk! I love hearing about how traditional knowledge/ medicine and modern medicine can be used together to enhance the health of communities in the Pacific 🤗 #AVS12 @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social

- Did you know you can induce gene transcription using CRISPR? It's not just a pair of scissors used to knock out genes ✂️ Micheal Beard and Co. Used CRSPR activation to investigate the role of ISGs in antiviral immunity #AVS12 #CRISPR #virology #@ausvirologysoc.bsky.social
- Can you speak the language of proteins? Well using AI, Joe Grove can to predict viral glycoprotein structures to help understand how viruses can infect cells 💻 #AVS12 @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social
- Excited to be here and learning so much from the wisdom of our seniors & peers 🦉 #AVS12
- AVS is now on bluesky - just in time for our biennial meeting starting today #AVS12
- Hello beautiful people! I am a post-doctoral researcher based down under 🇦🇺 where I love study the host response to viruses in all creatures great and small 🐷🧑🦲 Happy to be here 😊 #virology #academicchatter #immunology #research #science
