This is a memo to white folks who have gotten activated to fight for social justice over the last four years, as part of resisting the agenda of the current administration:
The work isn't over. We're glad you're here, and we need you to keep showing up.
1/x Thread.
That "none of us are free until all of us are free" is still true, even if you, personally, might feel safer now.
And the people we hope to be allies to definitely can't afford for us to.
The injustices that long predate 2016 are definitely still in place.
And there's a long road of repair from this era ahead of us yet.
Those horrific immigration laws? Not magically fixed.
The remaking of the Judicial Branch? Will be with us for a long, long time.
We have so much work to do.
The responsibility is for the long haul.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
