When you read a paper with an awesome technique, and it instantly makes you want to get into the lab and try it out - amazing stuff Ali Max Erturk 👏🏻

Ever heard about crazy hairworms that infect insects and make them jump into water so the worm can get out and find mates? Well, we sequenced the first genomes of this entire phylum of animals, and learned that they are even weirder than we thought! 1/N tinyurl.com/hairworm-genom…

Thank you BiologyofParasitism for making me be a part of this amazing and talented class of 2023

#BlackInNeuroWeek! I'm Heather. Starting as an Assistant Prof at Yale School of Medicine in Jan 2024! I'm fascinated by Purkinje cells, calcium channel mutations, the cerebellum, and their role in motor and non-motor dysfunction such as ataxia and autism!#BlackinNeuroRollCall

⁦Meera Nair⁩ delivering an inspiring lecture to ⁦BiologyofParasitism⁩ class of 2023 students. The immunology module is in full swing.

Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset. It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills. This is why PhD in STEM: - is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it) - is NOT about finish your advisor’s project - is NOT

Congratulations to Dr Amy Buck Amy Buck, Professor of RNA and Infection Biology, for new ERC Proof of Concept award 👏🏼 The project will investigate how the natural products discovered in nematode parasites can be harnessed for RNA delivery and RNA therapies. #RNA_biology

Our latest work is out as a preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congratulations Ben Garcia, Alexis Reyes, Yago Serra dos Santos and Chrysler Martinez for the team work.

Synaptic pruning - a fascinating process in the 🧠 and a great example of the intricate relationship between #neurons and #microglia! Strengthening circuits and removing redundant synapses: underdo it and you can have autism; overdo it and you can develop schizophrenia. #Science

Very proud PI! Great job Jose Campos

I want to take a moment to acknowledge international students: The constant worry & energy spent working on immigration documents Being excluded from funding opportunities valued for postdoc & faculty positions And the emotional toll of being away from family

Excited to share our paper in Nature Immunology describing X-CHIME, a CRISPR-based system for knocking out genes in immune cells constitutively, inducibly, sequentially, and lineage-specifically. nature.com/articles/s4159…

A real privilege to be part of this work, which has very exciting potential as a future therapy for VVC. MRC Centre for Medical Mycology

Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the biology of diseases. A systematic explanation of what, how, and why, can go wrong resulting in a particular spectrum of human disorders. The book is a foundation for a new branch of biomedical science.

Interested in alternatively activated neutrophils?? Another landmark paper from my PhD mentor and incredible clinician-scientist Dr. Benjamin Segal. Congrats Team!! nature.com/articles/s4159…

(1/7)Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats facing humanity and novel antibiotics are urgently needed. Today Cell we report the discovery of nearly 1 million new antibiotics by mining the global microbiome. 🧫️🔬. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Super proud of my incredibly talented wife Dr. Kastner for finishing her addiction medicine fellowship, recognized at the ACAAM ceremony tonight!

Happy to host DeBroski at Faculty of Science of Charles University - thank you for discusions, sharing ideas and humor.
