This Scientist Brewed and Drank His Own 'Vaccine Beer' to Combat a Dangerous Virus. It Seems to Have Worked

Blood tests revealed that the beverage elicited an immune response, according to preliminary research. But far more safety and efficacy testing would be needed before this vaccine could become available

I was very fortunate to collaborate with Jonatas Abrahao on this study, in which his group discovered a novel giant virus with remarkable morphology!

Few giant viruses with a tail have been characterized so far, but recent findings suggest that these structures may be more common than previously thought.

Multiple panels of Naiavirus particles. They look a bit like lollipops, with gradual tapering down to the end of the tail.
