Tweaked COVID boosters close but how much will they help? Penn In the News Associated Press Tweaked COVID boosters close but how much will they help? E. John Wherry of the Perelman School of Medicine compares vaccine tweaks to periodic software updates and advises waiting four to six months between boosters. Variant-targeted COVID-19 boosters test the promise of mRNA technology Penn In the News The Wall Street Journal Variant-targeted COVID-19 boosters test the promise of mRNA technology Drew Weissman of the Perelman School of Medicine, whose key discoveries about mRNA contributed to Moderna and BioNTech, says that mRNA is designed to rapidly adapt to new strains and variants of virus. What's behind the FDA’s controversial strategy for evaluating new COVID boosters Penn In the News NPR What's behind the FDA’s controversial strategy for evaluating new COVID boosters Paul Offit of the Perelman School of Medicine says that the FDA needs solid data to ensure that the new BA.4/5 boosters have a dramatically greater neutralizing antibody response. Severe COVID-19 increases risk of life-threatening blood clots Severe COVID-19 increases risk of life-threatening blood clots A new Penn study finds the clotting condition, venous thromboembolism, was more common in those hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to those hospitalized with influenza. Despite awareness of COVID-19 risks, many Americans say they’re back to ‘normal’ Despite awareness of COVID-19 risks, many Americans say they’re back to ‘normal’ According to a national survey data from the Annenberg Public Policy Center, many in the U.S. are living “pre-pandemic” lifestyles, despite the continuing risks. How a new chewing gum could ‘trap’ COVID-19, reduce spread: study Penn In the News New York Post How a new chewing gum could ‘trap’ COVID-19, reduce spread: study A study led by Henry Daniell of the School of Dental Medicine discovered that gum containing plant-grown protein could neutralize COVID particles in saliva. Music-making and the flow of aerosols Members of The Philadelphia Orchestra, including Carol Jantsch, principal tuba player, took part in a study led by Penn scientists Paulo Arratia and Douglas Jerolmack. Their investigation examined the aerosols professional musicians generate as they play.

Researchers from the School of Engineering the School of Arts & Sciences used fluid mechanics to study the movement of aerosols generated by musicians.
