Finally back in London this week after a fantastic 3 month MRC LID placement in Melbourne - big thanks to everyone ZiP Diagnostics for being a lovely group of scientists and for the amazing insight into working in industry! Such a fab opportunity (and bonus summer) 🇦🇺🦘

Merchandise loaded, ready to drive to Canterbury for our annual LSHTM_malaria retreat tomorrow. LSHTM #malaria researchers unite! 🤓

Two great new roles, research assistant and postdoc, to study invasion biology of malaria parasites in my team LSHTM_malaria. Both 4 years and RA has option for P/T PhD. Full details here:
RA shorturl.at/nuHM3
Post doc: shorturl.at/fBMV9
Please Share.

Great news that The BMJ have agreed to make this article on co-infections in #malaria freely available for the next month

Just completed sequencing my final batch of amplicons, marking the end of my PhD lab work! Now, I'm writing to finish by September. Any advice on wrapping up would be appreciated. I would be grateful if you could keep me in mind for future postdocs. #genomics #postdoc #phd 👩‍🔬🪱

We're looking for a postdoc and an RA to join us UCL! Interested in how the #malaria parasite adapts its cytoskeleton for disease transmission? Join our Wellcome funded project and use #insitu #CryoET to study parasites! DM or email any questions. Links in the comments.

I don't know if everyone's aware of this resource, but there's a 'Microbiology in Schools Advisory Committee' (MiSAC) that supports schools in the UK to teach children about #Microbiology . They have competitions & grants for schools. It's a great template for #scicomm in schools!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay - a great time to reflect on the fact that I have the privilege to work with some amazingly talented women, so shout out to Sarah Buddenborg, PhD Marina Papaiakovou Mona S Shannan Summers Jennifer McIntyre Maria Duque Anna Protasio Linda Grillova

It was a pleasure having the two Co- Directors from LSHTM_malaria. Here's to more joint collaborative efforts in the fight against #malaria .

🚨World NTD Day🚨

We are proud to announce that the BSP Council have officially signed the Kigali Declaration, a political document that demonstrates commitment to help eliminate or control #NTDs . More information on the Kigali Declaration at Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases: unitingtocombatntds.org/en/the-kigali-…

Our Co-Directors, Jackie Cook and Sam Wassmer had the privilege of participating in the inauguration of the insectary in Fajara as part of their visit to the MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM.

🚨 Lectureship Opportunity - Cardiff University (Cardiff University). Join the OneZoo CDT working in Infectious Diseases! 🚨

Big thanks to the organisers MAM Conference for the fantastic week and the opportunity to do a flash talk, and Biology at ANU for the poster prize! (Lesson learned, don’t miss the awards announcements, even for an excellent bacon roll in the sun) LSHTM_malaria #MAM2024

Fantastic meeting at #MAM2024 - tour de force of molecular research into malaria. Strong showing for the moon lab too - New collaborations, ideas and great feedback for everyone in the team. Fantastic talk by Amy Ibrahim (she/her) and prize poster for Sophia DonVito! LSHTM_malaria

Thank you Natural History Museum for hosting me yesterday for ‘Meet the scientist: Defeating disease’. I had a great time talking about #schistosomiasis and my PhD work on how #schistosoma populations are responding to #PZQ treatment.

Very proud that our paper on #schistosomiasis #hotspots has been selected for the Best of 2023 Trends in Parasitology collection which 'showcases some of the most cited and impactful articles published in Trends in Parasitology in 2023'!

Even with a power cut, scientists won’t leave a room with free wine #MAM2024

Love when a work event requires a giant bottle of SPF50 ☀️ So great to meet everyone! #MAM2024 LSHTM_malaria

For those interested in inter-disciplinary research into Zoonotic diseases we have ~20 studentships on our OneZoo PhD programme available for Oct 2024 start!
AND a special zoom based Q&A live session to help you prepare your application. Details below \/
