This year we celebrate 150 years of the discovery of fungus-farming ants 🐜🍄 Thomas Belt and Fritz Müller's simultaneous discoveries were communicated in nature by Wallace and Darwin (resp). Likewise, we remember their work in a Letter to the Editor. nature.com/articles/d4158…

No dia 15/11 (sexta), em todo Brasil, vamos às ruas em defesa da PEC que institui o FIM DA ESCALA 6x1 e abre a discussão sobre a redução da jornada de trabalho! Não podemos vacilar: é hora de agir contra a exploração! Acompanhe nossa página para mais informações, em breve!

We are scouting for a PhD student in antiphage immunity. Starting spring 2025 at University of Tartu, secondments at Lund University. Please contact me with i) CV and ii) max 2-page cover letter (why you, why this topic and why our team) at [email protected]. RT appreciated!

📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group Azeredo Lab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

Olá pessoal! Sou servidora da Gerência Geral de Alimentos da Anvisa e doutoranda do Programa de Nutrição da UNB. Minha pesquisa é sobre o conhecimento do consumidor brasileiro sobre alegações de saúde em rótulos de alimentos e suplementos alimentares. Link no comentário

Looking for a postdoc in environmental virology? Fascinated by giant viruses and their glycobiology? We have a position available at the MPI for Marine Microbiology! Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology HFSP Max Planck Society career.mpi-bremen.de/jobposting/8cd…

A 3-year postdoctoral position in antiphage immunity hosted by my lab (Lund), co-supervised Gemma C Atkinson (co-PI, structural bioinformatics, Lund University) and Pontus Gourdon (co-PI, cryo-EM, Lund University and University of Copenhagen). PleaseRT! lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

2025 starts with not less than 3 great medical microbiology papers on very diverse organisms SARS-CoV-2 (inflammatory peptide!) nature.com/articles/s4200… Vibrio vulnificus (phylogeography) nature.com/articles/s4200… Pseudomonas aeruginosa (phage therapy) nature.com/articles/s4200…

First paper on a collaboration between the CANS - Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies (Norway) and UNIFAL-MG 💙 (Brazil). This paper strengthens mucosal adaptations as the reason why prophylactic phage therapy works and also is symbolic in the revival of phage research in Brazil. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Phage VAC3 adaptations to the mucosal environment can exploited as a prophylactic measure to protect mice from a lethal dose of P. aeruginosa. nature.com/articles/s4200… Gabriel MF Almeida CANS - Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies UiT Norges arktiske universitet

What's striking about capitalist civilization is that it has no real direction. There's no vision for social progress, no commitment to improving human welfare or ecology. All we get is the chaos of profit-oriented production and accumulation as the world burns around us.

Please spread the word! We have an opening in the Atkinson lab for a post-doc with a focus on molecular mechanisms of microbial immune systems. Can be a fully computational or experimental or hybrid project. Read more & apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo… #phage #Bioinformatics

It is not everyday that we can name a virus after a city! Long effort finally out now, adding Finland to the giant virus map. On top of this, in-depth structural data. Thanks Abrescia Lab Lotta-Riina Sundberg et al. elifesciences.org/articles/103492 CANS - Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies

In light of the public statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump on social media on the afternoon of Wednesday (9), it is important to highlight the following: Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage. The judicial

New research published by the Lancet finds that economic sanctions imposed by the USA and EU are associated with more than 500,000 deaths per year since 1970, five times more than deaths by war. thelancet.com/journals/langl…

28 million deaths caused by the imperial core since 1971, due to unilateral sanctions alone. Pure barbarism. This system is incompatible with humanity. thelancet.com/journals/langl…

We reached over 500 people with the 1st Brazilian symposium of viruses of microbes, followed by one in Alfenas and a phage isolation course. It is rewarding to see a high interest from the younger generation! Looking forward to see the South American VoM field grow. CANS - Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies
