This is fantastic news for the parasitology community at large - congratulations both!!

Exciting opportunities for faculty positions in Microbiology at Penn State University!! Penn State BMB Penn State Eberly College of Science - Please consider applying! Feel free to reach out with questions. psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic/j…

Reunited with #MPM2024 co-organizers Bibo Li Lebrun to bring you yet another iteration of this amazing meeting! Hope you’ll be joining us in Woods Hole in September parasitesrule

Come join us Penn State BMB !!

This is a major turning point for anyone doing research on parasites, vector biology, or fungal pathogens that is going to rock our community! For now, we should give thanks to all the VEuPathDB team for everything they have done to support our research for so many years!!

📢 The 35th annual Molecular Parasitology Meeting is hybrid! Attend the conference virtually and access scientific presentations and posters on cutting edge parasitology research. 🌍🔬 cc parasitesrule Virtual registrations deadline: 1 September mesamalaria.org/updates/molecu…

Did you submit an abstract for #MPM2024 ? Check your email for talk/poster decisions coming from [email protected] Looking forward to seeing you next month in Woods Hole!

Congratulations David! Very well deserved!

Very excited to read this new report on scRNA-seq and Plasmodium sexual differentiation!

Huge loss to our microbiology community here Penn State BMB ! Don Bryant was an inspirational force to many. From farm boy to a very productive career with over 425 papers and books, including 200 papers just this past decade! May he RIP.

I think we might have a bit of a nomenclature issue: MD and FD genes are in the literature as Plasmodium sexual development genes as Male or Female Development (MD1-5, FD1-4 Oliver Billker) and now as Male or Female Drivers (MD1-10, FD1-9 AnkarklevLab) and the lists don't overlap?

Nomenclature thread Part II: To make matters worse, the original MD1 Oliver Billker Arthur Talman has a new abbreviation, MM2 AnkarklevLab . What will we do without VEuPathDB to keep track?

Congratulations to Jean-Paul Armache Penn State BMB on receiving a new Huck Innovative and Transformational Seed (HITS) grant to innovate on Cryo-EM methods Huck Institutes psu.edu/news/huck-inst…

Looks like VEuPathDB WILL return (but for how long??!!

And so it begins…

Keep this up! We need VEuPathDB back online as soon as possible!

Parasite, Fungal & Vector database resources will be coming back online … fill out the form at VEuPathDB.org to be kept informed, and an anonymous survey to help define the future 🔗veupathdb.org

Great way to close out three amazing years of co-organizing #MPM2024 with Lebrun and Bibo Li
