With the end of April comes the beginning of a new adventure! Excited to share the opening of the Pardy Lab tomorrow at the Armand Frappier Centre in Laval! Avec le début de mai vient le départ du laboratoire Pardy au centre Armand Frappier à Laval! Institut national de la recherche scientifique

Forgot my charger adaptor. Currently inconsolable.

Our article on transcriptional control of the Cryptosporidium life cycle out today in @nature. Tremendous body of work by Katelyn Walzer, defining (among many other things) how parasites choose to be male. Read the paper at nature.com/articles/s4158…

My first-author work on the Cryptosporidium single-cell atlas and sex determination is online ⁦⁦nature⁩!!! In ⁦Boris Striepen⁩ we sequenced the transcriptomes of over 9000 parasites showing a direct commitment to sexual development! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Past time to share some exciting news - my postdoc paper has been published in PLOS Pathogens! IFNg is important during #Cryptosporidium infection…but how? journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… ChrisHunter Boris Striepen

In its 184 year history Journal of Experimental Medicine has not published a manuscript on Cryptosporidium. Today, an injustice righted with Ian Cohn and Boris Striepen using transgenic parasites to understand how cDC1s regulate T cell–mediated resistance to Cryptosporidium rupress.org/jem/article-ab…

Really appreciated the opportunity to travel to my first international conference (and first Europe trip) thanks to my PI. Luckily, there was nothing else to do in Berlin but immerse myself in science. Absolutely nothing.

The Father in his natural habitat. Happy Father’s Day

Hoping this keeps people from fucking with my car anymore this week. ☣️ Relieved but tbh offended that my music taste wasn’t appreciated

Please RT! The Pardy Lab is hiring! Looking for graduate students who are interested in learning about the role of IFN-γ in intestinal immunity. Great opportunity to be a part of a new lab from the beginning! Projects, contact, and more info below! inrs.ca/en/research/pr…

Read our new paper: Cryptosporidium impacts epithelial turnover and is resistant to induced death of the host cell by Bethan Wallbank out today in mBio. Great team effort with Ryan Pardy ChrisHunter Igor Brodsky journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Infected = not apoptotic:

The woes of an immunologist.

Thought I was doing a good job - until the NYT 🐝 ruined it

Training for the Philadelphia canoe & kayak club Boris Striepen (I’m assuming there’s an arduous qualifying exam)

A sign you’ve been in ChrisHunter Lab too long: “Julia, it looks like you’re wearing a kilt”

Convinced the real lab skill I have is idiot-proofing (it’s tired me. Hi, I’m the idiot)

Working on a project together 🤝 driving off the cliff into the abyss together. Happy Halloween.

Dr. Roger Marshall called changes-"cutting inefficiencies", said that many NIH funded scientists are incompetent. U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. said that NIH funding is *not* frozen. Call it what you want: my patients will not survive. Call it what you want: it's a betrayal. Shame on you all.

For those interested in infection and the CNS - a mix of math, parasites and immunology (Stuart Ralph) to understand why latency matters and is host protective. Does take a village and congrats to Julia Eberhard Sebastian Lourido and all involved! rdcu.be/efknc
