everyone affected, please take this survey, it is extremely important that we all contribute to shaping the future of this invaluable platform

so so true...but I wonder whether this state of things is inevitable..in a huge disservice to CG Jung, this might just be the kind of hero's journey that some us have chosen to embark on...

this is an amazing opportunity to work with a fantastic PI and person on a fascinating topic...do not miss this!

truly sorry to have missed this...

😀feeling blessed and happy to be at Stellenbosch and gearing up for CoRE Genomics for Health in Africa and Cluster of Research Excellence (CoRE) annual meetings, before the all CoREs summit with Africa-Europe Clusters of Research Excellence Looking forward to touching base with Desmond Thompson who shall be covering the event for UniversityWorldNews Universität Bern MCID Bern

We are delighted that Parliament has increased the resources allocated to the SNSF and Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz for the years 2025-2028 by 13.4 million francs. The SNSF will use these funds to enhance Switzerland's attractiveness as a research centre. #snsf #research

Aujourd’hui, nous rendons hommage à notre fondateur, Louis Pasteur. Disparu le 28 septembre 1895, son génie continue d’inspirer la science et la recherche. Chaque jour, son héritage guide nos efforts pour un avenir en meilleure santé. 💙🔬🌍 #LouisPasteur

They say there is no place like home...but I have found one in Stellenbosch, South Africa...Grateful to coopmanhuijs.co.za for making this by far my best accommodation experience....ever....hands down. Thank you to all staff for the care they place in everything they do!

🌍🔬 Excited to share our video on #Blastocystis under the #OneHealth approach! Discover how this gut microorganism impacts human, animal, & environmental health. Watch now & join the conversation on gut microbiome research: 📽️✨ [youtu.be/0vPwFNexA10?si…] #Microbiome #GutHealth

Talk 3 for the day at LabEx ParaFrap Next Generation in Parasitology Workshop was by Amandine Guérin from Université de Genève on host manipulation by Cryptosporidium.

We are excited to share that Prof. Niels Verhulst from University of Zurich together with Florian Muijres and Antoine Cribellier from Wageningen U&R have received 1.1 million Swiss Francs from the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF to continue theirwork on microhabitat preferences of mosquitoes!

If you are at the #CGUE Conference on Unicellular Eukaryotes and interested in excavates, ultrastructure, multigene phylogeny and eukaryote evolution, please check out our poster with the description of a new Heterolobosean lineage!
