Over the past weeks I have been reading the earliest papers on zebrafish development, and came to realize that in the “canonized" version of zebrafish history we neglect some important people pre-Streisinger. I will try to correct here the record. Let’s start with Edward C. Roosen-Runge. (1/7)

My citations are at an all time high. What a science Christmas present from Google scholar

🧵Enterococcus faecalis is not just an extracellular organism. 🧵 A growing body of work shows it can survive + REPLICATE inside host cells, and that intracellular life may seed persistence, dissemination, and reinfection. 1/n #MMBR @asm.org journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

We're looking for a Research Assistant / Senior Research Assistant to join our team. If you're interested in studying the extracellular matrix and tumour microenvironment in cancer, then get in touch. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. garvan.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/garvan_insti...

Hey friends. I’m looking for a postdoc interested in studying host-pathogen interactions and immunology of tuberculosis. Send me some good people! We have a great group here! Email me [email protected]. Thanks!

Registration is open for the SJINML Public Lecture with Dr Margaret McFall-Ngai: The Power of Symbiosis in Shaping Our Biosphere. If you’ve wondered about sustainability or if probiotics really work, this talk may have the answer. 3 Dec, SMU. Light refreshments available.

Moxi. Warning: "potentially irreversible" side effects from working in my lab

Work from the most mysterious scientist in @astar-idlabs.bsky.social on his cuckoo flu virus. This is what happens when he was told to stop at 50 passages but kept going out of spite.

Submit your poster abstract for the #2026SCZI before November 5th! There is only one week left to submit for this prestigious #zebrafish meeting. Submit, attend, and advance your zebrafish knowledge with fellow #PIs from around the world!

Well, this is a brilliant #IDSky article that cuts close to the bone! 😬 Reframes #academia as an infection for which the causative organism may be less easy to define, but that can be just as insidious on affected individuals (clinical academics)! #AcademicSky #MedSky 🧪 @cidjournal.bsky.social

I am delighted to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona in Spring 2026. Our lab will study intestinal best4+ cells in zebrafish. We are seeking a lab manager with previous zebrafish experience – come build with us. surlab-gastro.my.canva.site

There are only two weeks left to submit your #SCZI2026 Poster Abstracts! Attend the premier meeting for #zebrafish PIs in Singapore January 14-17 and share your science with a global audience!

🚨Publication alert: Where does immunotherapy happen? What can the fish teach us about human pathology? And a dendritic cell is having a friend for dinner. Cancer immunology goes live, now in @cp-cell.bsky.social. Here is a concise summary of a pretty big study 🧵. Let’s go (appetizer👇)
