🚨 New paper in @PLOSPathogens! 🚨 Together with @brennanlab, we mapped – for the first time – how tick RNA-binding proteins rewire during virus infection. 283 proteins changed activity, revealing key players in viral fitness. Read here:
journals.plos.org
Author summary In host cells, RNA-binding proteins play essential roles in the life cycle of many viruses by influencing how viral RNA is processed, translated, replicated and assembled into virions....
Proud to announce my first publication is out in @PLOSPathogens ! Huge thanks to my co-first author Wael, @brennanlab, and @castello_lab. The paper explores how tick RNA-binding proteins respond to UUKV infection, you can find the paper here https://t.co/HNsotnsKWK

After 15 years in academia, I'll tell you in 30 seconds: 1. Perfect presentations don't pass vivas. (Confident discussions do.) 2. Your weaknesses are actually opportunities (to show academic maturity) Here's the viva slide playbook that works every time:

Beautiful tribute to Bill Blakemore, a pioneer of remyelination, by his 🌟 alumnus Robin Franklin. "Bill was an inspiring teacher who instilled in those fortunate enough to have been his students a sense of how to do science properly" https://t.co/oNK6majTBo

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.

This is an absolutely beautiful version of one of the Beach Boys’ greatest songs (the one that is sung by away fans at most football grounds most weeks. Fair to say the lyrics of the BBs somewhat more tasteful) RIP Genius … there are few greater legacies than great music
I’ve always really liked this latter day performance of Sloop John B by Brian Wilson and Al Jardine.
