Delighted to report our publication on a divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein that regulates malaria transmission to mosquitoes. Great work by Domi Kwecka , @jennyregan.bsky.social @choel Kim #malaria #ookinete #mosquitoes #signalling journals.plos.org/plospathogen...
This is actually my specialty. We've got an array of tricks and tools for working with DNA sequences that E. coli hates. Happy to discuss more.
In America, they have a Mason-Dixon Line. In Canada, it’s the Swiss Chalet-St-Hubert Line.
Our #CryoET story on how a top antimalarial drug candidate perturbs the native malarial translation machinery is out @natsmb.nature.com🥳 rdcu.be/eBbrH
A massive team effort led by @leonieanton.bsky.social Meseret Haile & Wenjing Cheng in collaboration with Jerzy Dziekan & the Alan Cowman! #TeamTomo
Excited to share our latest collaborative work with @entomososwin.bsky.social @brackneylab.bsky.social looking at the role of mosquito immune cells in virus infection. It turns out that these cells help disseminate virus infection, increasing the potential for virus transmission rdcu.be/euiZt
🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
We’ve uncovered a key player in malaria parasite cell division—meet PfAnchor, the first apicoplast-specific dynamin adaptor protein! Check the thread below 🧵for more details. #U_ExM #Malaria #Apicoplast

They use the term "Entitlements" as a pejorative. It it not.
Things like Social Security are called Entitlements because... you're ENTITLED to them. You paid in. You're entitled to get paid out.
Tax breaks for billionaires are NOT entitlements.
Ever run your plasmids through plannotate.barricklab.org ? Those blank spaces often hold the ghosts of projects passed. I've discovered unannotated strong bacterial promoters pointing right at my potentially toxic ORFs.
Excited to be able to share our new paper 'Iron Mediated Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii'! Thanks to all involved including the awesome @clarehardinglab.bsky.social and @danaaghabi.bsky.social! journals.plos.org/plospathogen.... Read on for quick-read digest of our new work...
Yes, they can hallucinate papers that don't exist, discuss results that seem to be imaginary, and can be confusing and inconsistent. But talking to tenured professors may still be helpful
There is no justification for a higher bar of fees/taxes/anti-gentrification policy for apartments. Low density is the most gentrifying build environment in a city, lived in by the richest. Higher density is what lower income and less wealthy people live in.
I just read another paper that didn’t deposit their plasmid sequences anywhere. It doesn’t have to be Addgene, but gbk file on Zenodo would be good. I literally have no way to find out the exact modifications to the constructs from the text. Journals shouldn’t allow this.

New version of this paper just hit @biorxivpreprint! New collaborator co-authors, and their very interesting new data on vertebrate DNA detection in wild-caught male mosquitoes! Perhaps this is not just a crazy lab phenomenon after all!
