Wonderful mini-review in Trends in Parasitology explaining our recently published study on broadly inhibitory antibodies against the key virulence antigens that drive severe malaria @mariabernabeu.bsky.social #Malaria #Immunology

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

From warmer days (June 22, 2024 to be precise): a northeastern hammertail. Very cool robber fly posing on the tip of a pulque agave. #Texas #MacroPhotography #Flies

We are in dire need for a Raven Pro software license. This license is $100. Is there a kind soul out here who would be willing to donate this license to us? We will acknowledge you in the published manuscript! #help #cats #catsofBluesky #bioacoustics #acoustics #Cornell

The thing I like most about #MacroPhotography is that I can escape reality for a little bit by immersing myself in the world of fascinating and beautiful small creatures. They are right there in front of my nose, all I have to do is take the time to observe carefully. #Insects #Photography

The beautiful December weather has drawn out a whole host of butterflies. #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Insects #Butterflies #Texas

Did you know that mistletoe is a parasite? #parasitology #plants #nature

My first #bird picture here. The first and so far only indigo bunting I have ever seen, striking a beautiful pose the moment I walked passed with my camera ready. Perfect example of right time, right place! #BirdPhotography

Human antibodies offer broad inhibition against variable proteins of the malaria parasite @embunnik.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very proud to announce the publication of our article in Nature. This study is the result of a fun and fruitful collaboration with several labs in the United States, Denmark, Spain, Uganda, and Tanzania. Many thanks and congratulations to all co-authors! rdcu.be/d0T6y #Malaria #Parasites #Science

"Meoooow! I'm Namibia. I live at Cowboy Cat Ranch with my sister and brother. We were rescued about 10 years ago from a city kill shelter when we were teeny tiny. There are two other cats living here as well. They are super old, and we are still super young!" #cats #catsofBluesky #rescue
