Research

jshorter3 — 2018-02-05 21:47:51 UTC

Currently, I'm studying influenza and working on a flu vaccine alongside Thomas Francis at University of Michigan

Family Matters

jshorter3 — 2018-02-05 21:52:23 UTC

Out with Donna, Peter, Darrell, and Jonathan

Still Trying

jshorter3 — 2018-02-05 22:00:27 UTC

@TFrancis and I are still working on that flu vaccine. Wish us luck!
#killtheflu

IT WORKS!!

jshorter3 — 2018-02-06 17:21:14 UTC

1943 will be the year without a flu! We've developed a killed-virus vaccine that will prevent the flu. Hopefully this can help in our current state of war

So sad that this is what the world has come to ): Stop hating the Jewish @AdolfHitler.

Promoted!!

jshorter3 — 2018-02-06 17:53:03 UTC

Was just appointed Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Michigan!!!

Expanding Research

jshorter3 — 2018-02-06 18:00:17 UTC

What's Jonas studying? Well, I'm currently studying viruses and the body's reaction to them. Also, I'm studying their epidemic effects on population.

Good Times are Finally back

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:45:59 UTC

Finally the war has ended! I would like to pay tribute to all of the soldiers who fought to protect the Jewish people. #grateful #proud

Moving On

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:51:52 UTC

New position as associate research professor at the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine!

Whipping 'em into shape

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:51:55 UTC

My team is not advanced enough! However, I am soliciting financial support to bring this lab up to par. Soon, the Virus Research Laboratory will represent the cutting edge of viral research!

New Friends and New Funds

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:51:58 UTC

@DanielBasilOConnor, it was a pleasure meeting you today. I must also thank you for your generous pledge to my poliomyelitis (polio) vaccine research.

Help from the pros

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:02 UTC

@JohnEnders, @ThomasWeller, and @FredrickRobbins are the extremely intelligent scientists that discovered that the polio virus could be grown in embryonic tissues! Kudos for your helpful discovery!

Reaching the finish line

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:06 UTC

We are doing some testing of our vaccine on monkeys.
#crossyourfingers

Success!!

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:12 UTC

It worked! It worked! Our results were successful.

Why skeptics?

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:15 UTC

@AlbertSabin why are you so annoyed with my success. We are working towards the same goal!
#endpolio

New Test Subjects

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:28 UTC

We have just begun testing the vaccine on children who have polio. If this is successful, we will begin testing it on children without polio.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:38 UTC

You can find many articles about our polio vaccine in your local newspaper.

Fame?

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 03:52:48 UTC

Thank you all so much for being so kind and giving me a congressional medal for great achievement in the field of medicine. However, I do not wish to be famous. The fame, I feel will take away from the true reason that I do what I do- to help people. So, everyone, please stop making me so famous.
-- Jonas Edward Salk

Still Skeptics and Critics

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 06:31:10 UTC

There is still nonacceptance of my research and I do not understand why. I have absolutely proven myself and my vaccine. The vaccine has been announced effective, potent, and safe in almost 90 percent of cases. So please give it a chance.

@VirginiaApgar there is no reason why I cannot share my research with the world. There is no reason to be rude.

Congratulations!

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 06:35:06 UTC

Congrats to @JohnEnders, @ThomasWeller, and @FredrickRobbins for your hard work. You won the Nobel Prize and I give you many thanks for also aiding me in my research.

Remarried

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 06:37:01 UTC

@FrancesGilot I'm so happy that we're married. Much love <3 <3
You missed out on her @PabloPicasso!

Founding an Institute?!

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 06:38:17 UTC

In 1963, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies will open for the best scientists to enjoy full-time, uninterrupted biological research

Thank You

jshorter3 — 2018-02-07 06:42:06 UTC

I am truly honored to have received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
