-Lydia Depuydt]]> 2017-08-15 02:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/teresadepuydt/epitopix/wish/181019505 Many Thanks https://padlet.com/teresadepuydt/epitopix/wish/181020260 That was a lot of fun. The tour was very informative.  I learned a lot and it gave me a new career choice. My favorite part was hearing about how the vaccines were made.

Thank you very much for taking the time to show us your facility and what you do. It was very interesting. I am always amazed at how we can "see" things too small to see.

(Also, thanks for obliging everyone's curiosity by showing us the tunnel.)]]> 2017-08-16 02:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/teresadepuydt/epitopix/wish/181183673 SRP https://padlet.com/teresadepuydt/epitopix/wish/181184944 I learned that bacteria have special protein systems that help them gather iron from host animals. It's amazing that you can use this knowledge to create more efficient vaccines!

So that means that for chickens that got vaccinated last year we would expect to have saved 500,000 to 1 million birds.
Thanks for the question.
