Our latest work on #bioRxiv answers a simple question: can you see cellular substructures and ultrastructure without fluorescence, or even a 🔬? - Yes, you can! With #UnclearingMicroscopy! @OnsMSaad1 @mshribak @YaleCellBio

"Here we used targeted #CRISPR screening to identify secreted protein effectors required for parasite survival in IFNγ-activated human cells. Independent screens were carried out using two Toxoplasma strains which differ in virulence in mice, leading to the identification of effectors required for survival in IFNγ-activated human cells."
'Afastou-se, entretanto, muito da fome-zero, mas também de imensos outros Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, que regrediram várias décadas. Mas o da fome-zero regrediu consideravelmente. Neste momento, temos oito mil milhões de pessoas no mundo e 10%, 800 milhões, estão em insegurança alimentar, em menor ou maior grau. Desses 800 milhões, 50 milhões estão à beira da fome e em risco de morrerem nas próximas semanas ou meses.'
'Before Covid, few people had heard of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Increasingly, though, this common cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis (airway inflammation) is filling up hospital beds across Europe and the Americas. Combined with rising admissions for other respiratory infections, including influenza and Covid, it is pushing some healthcare systems close to the brink of collapse.'
'The situation echoes the dearth of official information during the disastrous initial outbreak in Wuhan nearly three years ago. Local officials and analysts warned that the reduced testing, as well as gaps in reporting of both cases and deaths, would make it harder to assess the risk to the world’s second-biggest economy.'

So I won't cross-post much, but for my very first clinical Toot, I wanted to share images that those who follow me on #IDTwitter know well. Below is the current COVID monoclonal antibody situation and susceptibility to current variants. Where I am in Massachusetts, we are not giving any more bebtelovimab #COVID19 #IDMastodon
Time for the #firstpost on this account!
Latest on @eLife Sparks of Change: a very thoughtful piece about the challenges of balancing community outreach and a science PhD without losing yourself.
Lots to think about here, absolutely worth a read👇

So excited to finally be able to share that @LeicaMicro and @ASIImaging have partnered to produce an amazing 'Single Objective Light Sheet' platform for gentle, high-speed 3D microscopy. Hoping it will bring the power of SCAPE and OPM to labs worldwide🔬https://www.leica-microsystems.com/company/news/news-details/leica-microsystems-and-asi-announce-partnership/ https://twitter.com/jsdaniel02/status/1599498412461674496

'The initial decision not to seal off the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak has come to haunt Uganda. The disease spread to nine districts, including the capital, Kampala. The World Health Organization reported 142 confirmed cases and 55 confirmed deaths, with an additional 22 deaths probably linked to the outbreak.'

I’m submitting my thesis soon & looking for a perfect first #postdoc in 2023. I have experience in #malaria serosurveillance (and more) with a passion for infectious diseases & data wrangling. If you have a role that might be a good fit please get in touch, if not please retweet!

Apply for a permanent CNRS position in France. There are 5 positions for evolutionary biologists/ecologists ( “Section 29”). You can join any lab in France (contact the host lab beforehand).
The written application and interview can be done in English.
Contact me if you’re interested in ecoevo of infectious diseases at Montpellier. @jobsecoevo

#Movember2022 may have already ended, but it’s not too late to celebrate some top lip styling!
Here’s the 6th instalment of our series that takes an irreverent look at some great minds, and an appreciative look at the moustaches that went before them.
Represented this year: 🇩🇪🇰🇷🇬🇧🇵🇰🇺🇸🇮🇳🇯🇵🇫🇷🇳🇴🇧🇷🇭🇺 (spoiler: top grade goes to 🇳🇴)
Any suggestions on who should be featured next year?
New to the migration, so just wanted to take a second for an #introduction on here:
I am an Assistant Professor in the Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research at Baylor College of Medicine. Our group is developing #Celegans as a #microbiome system for figuring out just how host and microbes influence each other.
You can learn more about some of our recent discoveries here:

I am pleased to share that one of the projects of my PhD dissertation is published today in
@CurrentBiology where we investigated human mobility patterns in Southwest Asia and the East Mediterranean over time.

That's no beard! It's a bean clam hydroid, more closely related to jellyfish and anemones. They are adapted to attach to bean clams! The clams are super mobile on the beach, following the tide up and down, and the hydroid takes advantage. It therefore gets carried to the best food that it filter-feeds. The bean clam might be hindered in mobility slightly, but also is a bit less palatable to predators! #clamFacts https://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/Cnidaria/Eucheilota%20bakeri/index.html
