Summarization
This tweets summarizes various papers published in @PLOSBiology about art, science and viral strain-related topics. Papers cover topics such as a new receptor for #SARSCoV2 (LRRC15) that binds to the virus, the drama of flu infections, circadian & circannual genetic variation charted across the human body, and new consensus principles to classify the virosphere. Additionally, the tweets talks about female scientists like María Vallet and scientists @npariente and @annasimsbiol, and the advice and work of @anice_lowen and @LucasFerreri1. There is also criticism of a paper written by @WashburneAlex, @mattwridley, @HansMahncke, and @lab_neil.
Topic Modeling
