Get off this toxic binfire and get over there, it's booming 💥

Our lab uses the VEuPathDB DataBase for work on antimalarial drug discovery. It helps us make decisions about suitable drug targets & informs target validation work. Seamless maintenance of the services provided by the @veupathdb Bioinformatics Center is very important.

The organisms whose data are curated by VEuPathDB are responsible for >4.5 million deaths per year. The loss of this resource would be an immeasurable step backwards for pathogen genomics and big data. Not to mention OrthoMCL, that many of us rely on without even knowing...

A shame for the parasitology, mycology, and entomology community. From a personal standpoint, I have 3 projects ongoing for which I rely heavily on veupathdb (plasmodb, fungidb). Can t wrap that up by September 14th!

This is a baffling decision that savagely curtails our ability to fight against neglected infectious diseases. I imagine pathogens everywhere are celebrating.

A sad day for the parasitology community - A huge thank you to all at VEuPathDB, this resource has been fundamental to the progress of our field over the last 20+ years. Totally baffled by this decision #NIAID

This threatens the ability of researchers around the world to battle important diseases. Malaria, chagas, cryptosporidiosis, and leishmaniasis are just a few of those affected. Why is #NIAID choosing to obstruct its own research goals despite unanimous opposition from scientists?

This is a major turning point for anyone doing research on parasites, vector biology, or fungal pathogens that is going to rock our community! For now, we should give thanks to all the @veupathdb team for everything they have done to support our research for so many years!!

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

Loss of access to @vectorbase and @veupathdb throws a wrench into the gears of malaria research and progress toward malaria elimination. Devastating for vector and parasite biology work moving forward, and invaluable to my work on diverse and understudied malaria vector species.

Wow Sam, that's really really crap. 🤢 I'm co-author on a paper in PROTEOMICS that came out literally this month. I can't believe they don't even run basic plagiarism detection like we do with student essays. Come on Wiley, what are you doing with all those profits...

Oh no, how will I get any work done... I've realise that betting odds are shifting quite a bit today on the total Tory seats. Last time I got this obssesed was Brexit referendum, which ended the day on 1/10 for Remain. Gamblers beware following the herd 😜

PhD studentship available in my lab on the BBSRC NLD DTP for Oct 24 entry! https://t.co/pUQTYLOSIk . Amazing project using genomics and cool new microscopes to investigate how gene regulation works. Suitable for a wide range of backgrounds - biology, biomed, physics.

Fully funded 4-year PhD position using cutting-edge fluorescence and electron microscopy to study the bacterial cytoskeleton. 🔬🦠🦴 Co-supervised by Martin Goldberg (Durham) and Yulia Yuzenkova (Newcastle). Apply by 22 July! https://t.co/78qqBkCSUw

Reposting this! Fully funded studentship on mass spectrometry-based single-cell omics, studying viral model systems. Look at our lab website or drop me an email if you have questions about the project or lab! Sadly funding only available for UK/home students. Deadline 22/7

PhD studentship available through @NLD_BBSRCDTP - we have a funded studentship in single-cell proteomics/multiomics in our lab for 2024 start! Funding is unfortunately only available for home (UK) students. https://t.co/EZhJjxT6jb Application deadline 22nd July, 12 midday.
