If you were fired from twitter today (or if you weren’t and you’re just cool) you are hereby invited to help build a better, stronger, more open, more decentralized, future of pandemic prevention & response.
We need more smart people working on this; you can be one.

That's pretty rad.

GM to everyone, but especially to the RADVACkers out there expanding, accelerating, & diversifying vaccine R&D. Unprecedentedly good morning to you all. 👋

We're sending tremendous #gratitude for community of brilliant, bold, generous, and creative researchers around the world contributing ideas & work to building a faster, smarter, more open & resilient future of vaccinology. We can't do it without you. 🌐

We can move faster.
In a world where viruses evolve constantly, so too must our defenses against them. RaDVaC’s open-source, modular approach to vaccinology connects researchers everywhere with tools to rapidly design, test, & deploy vaccines before outbreaks become pandemics.🌐

New Researchers Map just dropped! 🔥🔥
radvac.org/researchers-map
While we love everyone in our Twitter community (especially you), the Researchers Map is a great tool in decentralizing, democratizing, & radically empowering vaccine science & action around the world. Join us!

We aren’t superstitious, but we think it’d be great to have a few more followers/fellow RaDVaCkers moving vaccinology forward with public, open-source resources.
Tell a friend about RaDVaC and our #OpenSourceVaccines today? 👋

Mucosal immunity is🔑
Loads of research on this (see our white paper for references - radvac.org/white-paper, and Dr. Travis' presentation from Unlocking Vaccines this year: piped.video/watch?v=UD_YPWbf…)

Unpopular opinion: vaccine access can be faster, and it should be faster.
4.5M lives lost to COVID-19 so far.
Together we can build vaccinology infrastructure that delivers safe, effective, and cheap vaccines faster than any virus can travel.

Do you mean efficacy data? Several groups around the world are doing that work. (See below.) You might be interested in supporting those groups, or RaDVaC as we support them. The invitation to participate in vaccine development has never been more open.

Great question! Complicated answer: we aren’t running trials ourselves, but are providing necessary info for others to run trials. Some groups have shown that different versions of our open-source vaccine candidates do induce a significant immune response.

We know of a few who are working on doing immunogenicity testing of various kinds. Some of the most public (that we're aware of) is the work of Dr Mostofi, who discussed it with us here: piped.video/eH7i0aPTFEU
