BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

New preprint from the lab, here we show an unexpectedly high rate of transcriptional error in P. falciparum, ~ tenfold higher than bacteria. What are its physiological and evolutionary implications? Is it a challenge in malaria therapy? A lot to learn!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”

Life will ask you to make short-term painful decisions with no guarantee of any long-term success. Sometimes, you just need some faith, and jump.

Will someone pls tell me why they haven’t made a sitcom about grad school yet? You get the same insular drama, weird relationships in a mid sized group, & petty or absurd situations you get in a high school sitcom, but like… the 26 year old actors can actually play 26 year olds

Parasite-secreted kinases are capable of imparting rapid, extensive modifications in host pathways and thus can be promising drug targets! Also, first article in my PhD!🥂 Released Parasite-Derived Kinases as Novel Targets for Antiparasitic Therapies frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Just done with the amazing workshop on #hostparasiteinteractions at the beautiful island of Les Embiez! Thankyou LabEx ParaFrap EMBO for organizing this and eLife - the journal for awarding me the best poster prize! I am extremely grateful!

I'm excited to share our ongoing work describing the dessert diversity at the canteen Institut Pasteur, since 1887 ! 🧁 This study included extensive sampling of 102 independent samples over 3 years. Here's a 🧵 of our key findings. 1/7
