Very proud that my first ever paper on finding a new syphilis treatment is officially out! Thank you to @JulesDressler @jutraslab https://t.co/j5efQcqENj

(1/2) It was an honor to receive an award at #stihiv2023 for my talk with other exceptional early career scholars! Thank you again @ASTDA1 @isstdr @InfoASHA (and everyone I can’t tag) for an amazing first STI confrence!

Delighted to have a poster presentation on Ireland’s response to mpox @isstdr World Congress of STIs & HIV in Chicago. I highlight the success of the community-led, collaborative and multi-phased approach we took. Check it out at stand 222 #STIHIV2023 @HIVIreland

Face of the future: 25% of attendees and oral presenters at #STIHIV2023 were intentionally early career investigators, and what a great future we will have

Incoming @ASTDA1 president #AbbyNorrisTurner announces the best oral presentations by early career scholars at #STIHIV2023 yeah for the future!!!!!!!

I wouldn’t be a scientist without my abortion

As a postdoc, I spend 70% of my income on rent alone. I am often not able to afford clothes and groceries without putting more on my credit card. I do not know what is going to happen with student loans kick back into repayment. Postdocs are struggling in CA. @UAW5810

The Cameron Lab at UVic is looking to hire a Research Tech to join our team investigating everyone's favourite enigma: T. pallidum. Projects include developing novel diagnostics, vaccine development, and investigations into pathogenic mechanisms.See here:

Did you know that the syphilis-causing bacterium Treponema pallidum encodes miniproteins that have anti-bacterial activity? Have a look at this freshly published study led by our neighbours the Cameron lab!

I love them 🥺

I love this organization and everything they do for farmed animals in need. This reel is in memory of Iris, Winter, and Pheonix. Click the link to learn about layer hens and why they need rescue 🐓🥚

This picture is a great throwback to my first emergence from lockdown!

Thread: The phrase 'sworn police officer' means sworn to uphold the law. Deliberate undermining of the #RuleOfLaw by sworn @CalgaryPolice officers must be swiftly and harshly shut down. This has nothing to do with what the #ThinBlueLine does or does not represent #yyc /1

We have a basement suite in our home here in Kelowna that we rent out. It's neat, tidy, and affordable (about 30% below avg). Our tenant is moving out May 1st, so I posted an ad. The response has been overwhelming, and kinda troubling...

Members of the @LaboTremblay contributed their expertise in electron microscopy for a new @PNASNews article showing prenatal exposure to maternal viral infections can change embryo brain anatomy. https://t.co/eesHP2Y3PT #neuroscience #microscopy #viralinfection @uvic

Talking to a recruiter about a senior data scientist job. I gave her my salary expectation ($150k) and she laughed and told me she’s never seen an offer lower than the 200s. I likely won’t get this job but want to share since no one tells academics these numbers.

I am recruiting a graduate student to work on a Genome Canada project involving bacterial biosensors for naphthenic acids monitoring in a constructed wetlands treatment system. Please RT

We've recently confirmed an increase of fentanyl contamination within the cocaine supply in Victoria, BC (#yyj) with a number of samples testing positive for fentanyl. Fentanyl test strips are effective in detecting fentanyl in cocaine. Consider #drugchecking your coke!
