Preparing future STEM faculty nationwide through flexible teaching professional development

This paper describes a five-year initiative that trained thousands of future STEM faculty through MOOCs and in-person learning communities, improving access to teaching professional development.

Phylogenetic network analysis revealed the recombinant origin of the SARS-CoV-2 VOC202012/01 (B.1.1.7) variant first discovered in U.K.

The paper uses phylogenetic network analysis to show that the SARS-CoV-2 VOC202012/01 variant originated through recombination, not step-wise mutations.

Effective in-vitro inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by commercially available mouthwashes

This study evaluates the in vitro efficacy of seven commercial mouthwashes against SARS-CoV-2, finding significant viral inactivation with certain formulations.

Species-level microbiome composition of activated sludge - introducing the MiDAS 3 ecosystem-specific reference database and taxonomy

The paper introduces MiDAS 3, a 16S rRNA gene reference database for activated sludge and anaerobic digesters, and updates the MiDAS Field Guide with species-level taxonomy and functional information.

A simian-adenovirus-vectored rabies vaccine suitable for thermostabilisation and clinical development for low-cost single-dose pre-exposure prophylaxis

This paper develops a simian-adenovirus-vectored rabies vaccine that can be thermostabilized and administered as a single dose, showing potent immunogenicity and potential for low-cost pre-exposure prophylaxis.
