My @bugbittentweets blog this week about the tenuous future of @veupathdb @VectorBase and the potential impact on science: https://t.co/WxUEsU8LUj

Love obscure football kits especially those from the Pacific!

We have one more place available to join our 2024/2025 #PhD cohort for a fully funded 4 year PhD, commencing in October 2024. Find out more and apply here: https://t.co/MzRR0Urm8U

Wonderful to see our paper out in @Nature today! What happens if we experimentally challenge young healthy seronegative adult volunteers with SARS-CoV-2 and apply single cell multi-omics? Not everyone subsequently gets COVID-19!

Mere hours later, "Five people including a child have died in an attempt to cross in a small boat". "Illegal immigration minister Michael Tomlinson insists the deterrent effect will "kick in" when the flights start". Horrific.

The stability of our water systems is at the whim of investors who demanded a forty percent increase! Thankfully it was blocked, but this is a direct, expensive impact that private investors attempted to exert over Britons for an essential service.

"The current shareholders which include UK and Canadian pension funds [and] Chinese and Gulf State investors pulled the planned £500m cash injection when Ofwat rejected proposals to raise customer bills by 40% above inflation by 2030." Is this sovereignty?

Looking for a new post-doctoral research job for a new year? Come to work with us, using structural biology to understand what makes antibodies protective against malaria. An exciting joint project with @FaithOsier and @HWardemann. https://t.co/ZwVf9kt8sv

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n

#DYK not all leeches feed on blood 🩸? Many are predators of invertebrates and some specialize on hunting earthworms🪱 After all, other worms are a perfectly shaped meal for them 🍝 I think this is a species of Orobdella, a group of primarily Japanese leeches that feed on worms

This article shows how science is held back by bigotry in nations trying to build their research, as if one needed more of a reason for equality than just protecting lives. https://t.co/yz5z2jr8z0

I've written a new blog for @bugbittentweets, this time about how experiments suggest that static on our skin can attract ticks without making any contact! https://t.co/7VeC5ihiIB

A very intriguing result in the new Y chromosome paper, one that you might miss unless you read the paper closely... 1/6

This #WorldMosquitoDay, watch this by Dr. Sachie Kanatani from the @PhotiniSinnis17 Lab. It is terrifying and extraordinary at once. 5th-place winner in the 2021 #NikonSmallWorldInMotion competition. https://t.co/xZJ7mdEBnx Photo: Dr. Sachie Kanatani & Dr. Photini Sinnis
