137 years ago today 🎂 Institut Pasteur opened in Paris (Nov 14, 1888 🏛️)

Funded by 100K+ donors after the rabies vaccine success, it launched a scientific legacy:
🔬 10 Nobel Prizes
🌍 32 Pasteur Network Institutes
💉 Countless lives saved

From rabies to COVID-19, the mission continues.

In flies and worms, more pathogenic viruses caused greater aging acceleration, and the effect lingered even after clearance, new study reveals.

🔥 At conferences, who asks the questions shapes who gets seen. Across 24 ID&CM meetings, women were 55% of delegates but asked 36% of questions.
💬 When women moderate or speak first, others follow.

🦟 Can we "pasteurize" mosquitoes to stop dengue & Zika?

Sarah Merkling @merklinglab.bsky.social uses AI + CRISPR to analyze stomach cells and understand why some mosquitoes spread viruses while others don't.

Goal: Make disease-carrying mosquitoes harmless.
