      I just realized they’re also talking about bats and pangolins mating. These aren’t serious people.

      He's got a point though: there is no evidence of a bat being able to penetrate pangolin scales. How did I miss this!?!

      Good lord. I read the whole document and there’s 20 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. Though Asher later said that it wasn’t necessarily bat-pangolin mating...it could have been GAIN OF FUNCTION research which is done by co-housing pangolins and bats at WIV. 🙃

      That’s much more likely. Pangolins are a well known study animal in virology and the obvious choice for coronavirus work as a pangolin coronavirus had never been discovered. It would have also been obvious to house them with bats.

      I personally prefer using BALB/c pangolins over C57BL/6 pangolins for pathogenesis models, but always ran into problems with DURC when I tried to move them into my custom Rhinolophid bat laboratory because that’s how bioweapons are made.

      Have you tried smashing the bat and the pangolin in a particle accelerator? It's how they do in physics, so reasoning from first principles it should result in a pangobat.

      Tim, I’m pretty sure this is your department as a practitioner of “so called bioinformatics science.” Please call your fellow bioinformaticians at CERN and tell them to fire up the particle accelerator!pic.twitter.com/Ze2LUzhLnd

      You know it's gotta be true, it was published "in Wiley", the world-renowned source of scientific fact
