Zeus had his Hydra ⚔️, now Toxoplasma has its own. Meet Hydra: not a monster, but a brand-new protein domain. It multimerizes like crazy & rewrites the chromatin landscape 🧬 in Toxoplasma. Our team and colleagues from @embl just dropped the preprint 👉 https://t.co/6nGYH6mzMr

This one’s deeper and more personal than usual — stepping into new territory and telling a story that matters. I think it is important for us to use our voices for the voiceless. This week take a moment and watch the short film we put together for Patience. It’s out now. Link

Hey @DavidMuir hundreds of PEACEFUL protests with thousands of researchers across the US about the state of US science - nothing on @ABC news .... #StandUpForScience
What an incredible turnout at Stand Up For Science 2025 at Washington Square Park! The energy was electric, with so many passionate individuals coming together to support science. #StandUpForScience

Just to my big surprise ran into my friend Yasmine Belkaid at Incheon airport in Korea while changing planes back home (on the add banner). Can’t deny that the French Republic appears to appreciate their infectious diseases scientists more than the US republic right now.

Pleased to share my first study on Plasmodium, showing how divergent kinases localising in distinct compartments drive MTOC, kinetochore, and axoneme organisation in male gametogenesis. Huge thanks to @RitaTewari @David_Guttery @Zeeshan_MF, and the team. https://t.co/ft5oQ9UTC7
