Hi James, thanks for weighing in. Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) does not mean that the person isn’t verbal, in fact people with NVLD are incredibly verbal. The term "non-verbal" in NVLD refers to difficulties with non-verbal communication, such as interpreting body

Count my lab as another severely affected by the shutdown of VectorBase and VEuPathDB. I don't understand why chose to eliminate this powerful and one-of-a-kind resource. science.org/content/articl…

Ever wondered how to pull whole genomes for parasites out of complex DNA samples? Look no further. Our review article on SWGA is now out in PLOS Pathogens, led by former CAMB Graduate Group grad student, Olivia Pilling, with a big assist from EvolEcoDisease Lab, Dustin Brisson. doi.org/10.1371/journa…

📢Proud to share our new paper!📢 It all began with a conversation about germ-free animals having small litters and no one really knew why. Here we define a role for microbiota in the ovarian reserve and trade-offs between growth and reproduction. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"The increasing role of philanthropy and private cooperations in research funding poses great risks. They might pull their support any time and stop programs people count on." NIH NIAID Funding : Hold my beer 🍺 Can't believe VEuPathDB is gone 😭 plasmodb.org

A sad day for parasitologists, vector biologists, and fungal researchers. After 20 yrs of service, VEuPathDB went dark 2day 😭. Removing funding from this *extremely* popular and globally used resource is a major self-inflicted wound by NIAID Funding bit.ly/3MINbb0

Critical loss: the effects of VEuPathDB defunding on global health - The Lancet Microbe ⁦parasitesrule⁩ ⁦ASTMH⁩ @nih ⁦NIAID News⁩ ⁦British Society for Parasitology⁩ ⁦Women In Parasitology⁩ ⁦Parasite Slack⁩ #mpm2024 thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

The scale of loss caused by defunding VEuPathDB will be fully realized in the coming months. Not being entirely hyperbolic when I compare this to arson in the library of Alexandria. Our collective expertise in the Global health community resides here, but in danger of being lost
