Congratulations @MonicaMugnier and your team on this wonderful story!
New study out in @Nature led by @JohnsHopkinsSPH scientist @MonicaMugnier & 1st author @ABeavR sheds light on how parasite that causes African sleeping sickness in humans & nagana in cattle & other animals establishes long-term infections in hosts publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/discovery… 1/3

Congrats to all of my friends and colleagues who are Eagles fans - that was an epic win!

The MPM XXXVI page is now live - Sept 14th to Sept 18th. Check it out on the parasitesrule.com website. Organized this year by Richarch McCulloch @rmc9z, Photini Sinnis, Marc-Jan Gubbles @MJGubbels, Deepali Ravel @Deepali_Ravel & Omar Harb @omartheharb

This amazing cover was designed by Dr Rajat Kumar in my lab and represents our review on the complexities of #ApiAP2 transcription factor regulation of malaria parasite development.@BMB_PSU @PSUScience
Our 2024 Nov issue bit.ly/2N9R8Es reviews Plasmodium ApiAP2, artemisinin resistance genetic basis, malaria parasite reporter lines, CRISPR-based schistosome genomics, sex differences in parasitic diseases, interspecific multiple infections &more #ICAP2024 #Trematodes2024
As a reminder, The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list: 1/2
Does anyone have a contact at the Malaria Research and Reference Reagent Resource Center (MR4)/BeiResources? Please DM me? Thank you!
Great article highlighting that African researchers CAN and ARE leading the way! Great piece @Kelly_Chibale theguardian.com/global-develop…
For my malaria colleagues - we are trying to grow the GB4 (Ghana) parasite line and are seeing very large schizonts with merozoites that aren't able to egress. Has anyone seen/noted this before for this line?

Congratulations @Kelly_Chibale !! Very well deserved!
Congratulations @Kelly_Chibale on being elected to the United States National Academy of Medicine! nam.edu/national-acade… Kelly discovered the first small molecule clinical candidate for any disease, researched on African soil by an African-led international team.
Very proud of our new @TrendsParasitol review on the complexities of ApiAP2 regulation in Plasmodium falciparum. Building on the legendary reviews by @Painter_Lab (2010) and @M4774R14 (2019)!! cell.com/trends/parasit…
Let’s get back to work! Thank you @veupathdb !!
Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…
How much time and tax payer dollars will now be wasted due to the disappearance of VEuPathDB @NIAIDFunding @NIH ?

Great way to close out three amazing years of co-organizing #MPM2024 with @Lebrun43782700 and @LiBibo2022
Yet another dull day in the boring life of some research scientists. Epic end of conference party at #mpm2024. If your parties are not like this you are in the wrong field and should study parasites!
