Before she was fired, Zhang was officially employed as a data scientist at the company. But she had become consumed by a task she deemed more important: finding and taking down fake accounts and likes that were being used to sway elections globally. https://t.co/5DRHDX0Zn8 — PolitiTweet.org

The world first learned of Sophie Zhang in September 2020, when @BuzzFeedNews obtained and published highlights from an abridged version of her nearly 8,000-word exit memo from Facebook. https://t.co/n08Hvw1J5B — PolitiTweet.org

Sophie Zhang, a former data scientist at Facebook, risked everything to reveal the company enables global political manipulation and has done little to stop it. After nearly a year of avoiding personal questions, @szhang_ds told us her story. A thread 🧵 https://t.co/4rASZYRJnY — PolitiTweet.org

Q: How do you define gain-of-function research? Baric: Human beings have practiced gain-of-function for the last 2,000 years, mostly in plants, where farmers would always save the largest seeds from the healthiest plants to replant the following year. https://t.co/TJDgwOIEVe — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Q: Now that @RandPaul has announced on the floor of the Senate that you’re creating superviruses and performing gain-of-function experiments, this seems like a good time to talk about your work. https://t.co/jBAbewAZrE — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
@rowanjacobsen recently asked Baric to explain what constitutes a gain-of-function experiment, why such research exists, and whether it could have played any role in the pandemic. Here’s some of Baric’s responses. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Some scientists fear that the technique, which allows coronaviruses to be recreated from their genetic code, could engender a future pandemic, and other critics, like @RandPaul, imply they might have led to the creation or release of SARS-CoV-2. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Yet Baric also pioneered the reverse-genetics techniques that have allowed other researchers, including those at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to engineer viruses with altered functions. https://t.co/JkCR02aFHt — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
His research laid the groundwork for the first approved anti-covid drug and helped speed the development of the mRNA vaccines that have proved so pivotal. Recently, his lab announced the creation of the world’s first pan-coronavirus mRNA vaccine. https://t.co/gSHOn5aBth — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Baric became the reluctant spokesperson for GOF and believes the research is essential to the development of vaccines and other countermeasures against emerging viruses, a project he has been engaged in for more than 20 years. https://t.co/dR9aAdCE3k — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Yet that did little to quell questions about the role his research may have played in furthering scientists’ ability to modify coronaviruses in potentially dangerous ways. Such questions have dogged Baric since 2014. https://t.co/HLamXP12SM — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Baric clarified according to the NIH, the research in question did not qualify as GOF, none of the SARS-like coronaviruses he’d used were closely related to SARS-CoV-2 , and his collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been minimal. https://t.co/E9kBvkbAA9 — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
During a congressional hearing, @RandPaul said the @NIH had been funding such research at both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Baric’s University of North Carolina lab. He charges UNC shared discoveries about how to create “super viruses” with China. https://t.co/w8wcU2vokj — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
In May, Baric found himself at the center of the swirling debate over gain-of-function research, in which scientists engineer new properties into existing viruses. It’s “GOF” for short. https://t.co/JkCR02aFHt — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
What is gain-of-function research? We asked Ralph Baric, one of the pioneers of this methodology and a longtime coronavirus researcher. A thread 🧵 https://t.co/3VQZlGoIU7 — PolitiTweet.org
