Thrilled to announce the creation of the @elisabethbik.bsky.social Science Integrity Fund to provide "funding for training programs, grants, or awards for science integrity advocates." Thanks to @science.org for covering this. Help us grow the fund with a tax-deductible donation.

Solving 25 years of frustration, Daniel AbbΓΌhl managed to tag trypanosome tubulin and to express it in an inducible manner, hence revealing flagellum assembly! A tour-de-force! Preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fungus fight just leveled up! @jeromegovin.bsky.social and coll. found a new way to take down drug-resistant Candida by targeting the Bdf1 bromodomain. 🦠πŸ”₯πŸ‘ Bravo for this epic study using epi-drugs !

Bravo to the authors for this tour de force πŸ₯³πŸ‘πŸ½

Our assessment of a person's epigenetic ("biological") age has been centered on DNA methylation. A new report shows that a set of 7 histone markers has comparable accuracy and also uncovers new pathways of aging biology www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Cuba’s Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology has continued to shepherd the development of drugs and vaccines for cancer, infectious disease and other conditions and to date has obtained regulatory approvals in more than 50 countries go.nature.com/4gxkhYt rdcu.be/d4Z0N

πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ perfect way to end 2024 πŸ‘πŸ½

1/ We are excited to share our new paper in @jexpmed.bsky.social about humans with autosomal dominant IFNAR1 deficiency (doi.org/10.1084/jem....).

what a 'tour de force' ! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½ to the authors !

Malaria – the world’s most deadly vector-borne disease – is particularly sensitive to variations in climate and weather. (...) Investment in climate-resilient health systems and paradigm-shifting new tools is critical to accelerate progress towards eradication. malariaatlas.org/project-reso...

Please join us Friday 12th at noon EST for Dr. @zamanian.bsky.social seminar at Parasite hour with #PeersInParasitology where he will share his recent work on new targets and strategies for helminth control. Need a zoom link? Register here: iu.zoom.us/webinar/regi....

We've been awarded a UKRI MRC grant to examine the causes and consequences of #heterochromatin hypomethylation in cancer πŸ₯³. #postdoc opportunity coming in the near future. #epigenetics. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

Great mentees make a proud PI.😊

Apicomplexan parasites (#Toxoplasma #Plasmodium) showcase remarkable phenotypic plasticity and a compact genome. MORC might be the maestro, topologically orchestrating gene expression! 🎻

Exciting news! πŸ‡«πŸ‡· network ParaFrap is now on Bluesky! Calling all parasitologists (and beyond) to join us at πŸ‘‰ @parafrap.bsky.social Let’s connect and share! 🦠 #Parasitology

From my office window, a stunning sight: blue sky and snow-dusted mountains, the first of the season. #Grenoble

Okay Bluesky people- there is now an account here for the British Society for Parasitology (BSP) at @bspparasitology.bsky.social!! BSP also has a Facebook group, LinkedIn (private group), X (for the moment), and a webpage at bsp.uk.net/Home! We have so many updates to come- #BSP2025 is coming! 🦠

Happy Evolution Day! Today's the 165 anniversary of the initial publication of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" - and this is a page from his notebooks. πŸ§ͺ

@embl.org is searching for a "highly experienced, inspirational and dynamic leader" to serve as its new director general. Who do we wish to see at this position?
