Since late 2019 and early 2020, researchers everywhere have worked overtime to discover everything possible about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Precious few publications have been as ground-breaking as the recent pre-print publication by Grace Tyson and her team at the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, "Rising SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence and Patterns of Cross-Variant Antibody Neutralization in UK Domestic Cats."
Here in the Chat Room, we love cats! But, we also like to avoid exchanging viruses with them if we can! Luckily, Grace joins Dr. Jen the vet and Dr. Jason Chatfield to chat all about her research, what it means for cat lovers, her early career as a competitive figure-skater, and what breed of cat is her favorite.
