Once upon a time, a grad school in Narnia ⛷️

Mid-term examination ✅ Happy and relieved 🧘🏻‍♀️

Sumimasen! First of all, Kimwipes are not to wipe your hands 👎🏼 Second, Japanese tissue paper are the “worst of all” in the world, except Kimwipes which are the lifesavers at the lab 🤝

Women bring color to the lab 🧫🧡 #womeninscience For Women in Science

The most important lessons I learned from doing a PhD. Thread 🧵

Amazing! 🤩

Today I got す (Japanese alphabet: SU) contamination while diluting glycerol. I don’t know how it went there but funny 😅

It was incredible to have Duraisingh Lab here at BiologyofParasitism to teach us about large scale functional genomic screens of #Plasmodium and #Babesia. His inspiring journey from London through Melbourne to Boston added a personal touch to the experience.

Yay! Our study of malaria parasite kinetochore proteins is now published in Nature Communications. Jiahong and friends tagged different component of the mitotic apparatus and viewed with Ultra-Expansion Microscopy and multi-section Electron Microscopy. How cool! rdcu.be/dNlcj

Excited to announce the publication of the first paper from my PhD! PLOS Pathogens In this story we revealed the critical role of SBP3 in ridge formation and cerebral babesiosis, while having an important role in survival of the parasite. journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Congratulations! First time I listened to the SHIFTiKO story in MAM last year, it is an incredible system and a huge step on gene modification in malaria.

Last month, I got interviewed by a Japan’s agriculture newspaper. As mostly farmers will read this newspaper, I don’t know if they will find my cytoadhesion/ridge story interesting enough or not 😅
