Fungal friends: The University of Minnesota is hiring a tenure track medical mycologist, with emphasis on emergence of pathogens, genomics and evolution! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Excited to share our new publication, out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41.... @kanchanj.bsky.social led this fascinating fungal-bacterial interaction project. We are grateful for our wonderful collaborators Brian Peters and David Underhill.

ASM, ASBMB, ASCB & FASEB are deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court ruling allowing cancellation of $800M in NIH grants, threatening labs, jobs, and early-career scientists. Stable funding is vital for U.S. science. Read more: www.ascb.org/society-news...

"From novice to expert: preparing your peer review" Worth a read! #microsky

#Fungal infections are hard to treat due to #DrugResistance. @blakebillmyre.bsky.social &co use a high-throughput #TNseq system in #Cryptococcus neoformans to identify >1400 essential genes & reveal a role for #mitochondrial genes in #fluconazole sensitivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dz3iVm

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @drbadbug.bsky.social @teresaomeara.bsky.social Overall, our findings illustrate non-canonical IRE1α activation during infection and a function for IRE1α in supporting organelle contact sites to safeguard against rapidly growing microbes.

Excited to announce Duke’s inaugural Climate and Fungi Symposium May 16, 2025! Please register for in-person or virtual 🍄 mgm.duke.edu/about-mgm/se...

A reminder in these hard times. #sciencestrong

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! June Round &friends show @science.org that in early life bacteria & fungi cooperate to expand insulin producing β islets via macrophage infiltration & that recognition of commensal yeast cell wall can protects against diabetes in adults! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Join us for this month's #MycoTalks with Rebecca Shapiro and Guilhem Janbon 📅Thursday 27 March 🕓16:00 GMT Register here: universityofexeter.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Early life colonization with an understudied Candida species promotes long term metabolic health. This still blows my mind - congrats Jen and team! Thrilled to have played a very smal part (mostly as your fungal cheerleader)

PhD studentship for UK citizens! Understand how Endosymbionts Impact Mucoralean Fungi Drug Resistance Profiles. These are devastating invasive fungal infections that need urgent research. Work with my team @mrccmm.bsky.social, @forestcita.bsky.social, and UKDSTL www.surrey.ac.uk/bbsrc-wessex...

Great summary of the history of progress. Let’s not go quietly back to the dark ages.

Excited to share my postdoc work now on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We discovered a non-genetic drug-adapted state that emerges frequently in the the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. 1/6

#LocationLocationLocation! Gribonika, Belkaid &co shows @ Nature that skin colonization by Staph epi activates Langerhans cells driving Abs in lymph nodes, & also in skin autonomous lymphoid organs that independently produce Abs protecting against systemic infections! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My department is hiring a fungal biologist! aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01990

Huge congratulations to my PhD advisor! So excited for him and Duke ID medicine.duke.edu/news/dr-jame...

Microbial people! Especially postdocs and maybe some assistant professors who are feeling antsy ... the University of Montana is doing a search for a microbiologist! This is a great department, in a great place. (I worked there for 10 years, loved it, ping me with Qs) apply.interfolio.com/159494
