\u3ci\u3eThe New York Times\u3c/i\u3e and Media Framing During the Coronavirus Pandemic

This study analyzes how The New York Times framed the coronavirus pandemic via Twitter. Using framing theory, this study examines a collection of tweets from The New York Times Twitter account during the week of March 13-20, 2020, which was the week following President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency. Each tweet was manually cataloged according to a specific set of qualifying keywords. From the collected tweets, this study identified four dominant frames that characterized The New York Times’ coverage of the pandemic during the week of March 13, 2020. This study also discusses the structure of the “disease narrative” and the rise of Twitter as a legitimate source for news

Capsid and Infectivity in Virus Detection

The spectacular achievements and elegance of viral RNA analyses have somewhat obscured the importance of the capsid in transmission of viruses via food and water. The capsid’s essential roles are protection of the RNA when the virion is outside the host cell and initiation of infection when the virion contacts a receptor on an appropriate host cell. Capsids of environmentally transmitted viruses are phenomenally durable. Fortuitous properties of the capsid include antigenicity, isoelectric point(s), sometimes hemagglutination, and perhaps others. These can potentially be used to characterize capsid changes that cause or accompany loss of viral infectivity and may be valuable in distinguishing native from inactivated virus when molecular detection methods are used

Session 1A Equity in Burundi in Response to SDG 1, 4, and 14

We will be presenting a poster on the theme of Equity as observed in the Republic of Burundi based on the SDG\u27s 1: No Poverty 4: Quality Education and 14: Life Below Water. We will draw connections between all 3 SDG\u27s using the Lates Angustifrons species found in Burundi\u27s Tanganyika Lake. The connection is that extinction of the Lates angustifrons hurts the local economy because many fishermen rely on the fish formoney. When people aren’t making money, the economy shuts down, a country goes into poverty, and no one can access education
