Wow Yasmine Belkaid will be the new president of the Institut Pasteur! Impossible to imagine a better choice on so many levels. Great to have a former BiologyofParasitism faculty, parasite researcher, and all around academic star in charge. Congrats Yasmine! pasteur.fr/en/press-area/…

Congratulations on a great piece of work Haley!

Abstract submission & registration for #MPM2023 is now open! I look forward to seeing you all in september

Everyone who says “but we should support our society journal” THIS is what you get. They care more about their journal income than they care about science. * * requisite “not every society” - some are actually interested in their stated mission - but it’s sadly but a handful

DM'ing the wrong person.

Congratulations to Aoife, Kelli, Tom et al on a beautiful piece of work

If anyone was wondering what Brian Nosek (@[email protected]) meant when he referred to the "disconnect between what's good for scientists and what's good for science", here it is

To CDC Id love to read this article by CDC Director in NEJM but alas it is out of reach to all but the wealthiest institutions When the CDC Director writes an important article, I would hope it would be in a format that is made available to all tax payers.
