Looking forward seeing you all tomorrow for Prof. McCaffrey's webinar. @utmbhealth.bsky.social @astmh.bsky.social @sbvirologia.bsky.social

Very proud to announce that my baby is finally here! This new program at UTMB will support a variety of training opportunities in medical and veterinary entomology. It will also focus on developing a broad network of partners interested in vector biology and ecology across the state of Texas.

We are looking forward welcoming you Tuesday, January 13th for our scheduled Virtual Seminar Series on Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases webinar. Prof. Peter McCaffrey will be presenting: "Scaling AI for Bioinformatics: from Pipelines to Agents ". Register: lnkd.in/g7pvikh4 #UTMB #ASTMH #ACAV #SBV

Good explainer for non-scientists on how the science budget hasn’t changed, but funding has. I do not envy anyone with a funding cliff in the next two years (myself included). Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Excited to share our new publication www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... led by @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social group. Great work by Lívia Sacchetto and Cecilia Banho who led the deep sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, respectively, and to the rest of the team for their outstanding contributions.!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I will keep it short and sweet. Great news out of Brazil today 👇. Congratulations to the interdisciplinary teams that made it a reality! @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social @astmh.bsky.social #Burantan

Why surveillance is important? 4 years ago we predicted a CHIKV outbreak by detecting its silent circulation (lnkd.in/gx7-4ZeQ). Today, the team @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social provided a genomic and clinical time map of the massive CHIKV outbreak of 2024 in the area. #FAMERP #SBV #ASTMH #UTMB #ACAV

At Vaccine, our editorial team is united to defend and support immunization and vaccine science around the world. I am so proud & honored to stand alongside these outstanding scientists & clinicians to prevent disease & save lives with integrity & courage.

I am delighted to share our new collaborative work with the Drumond lab at UFMG highlight the importance of active surveillance in detecting recent infections that would likely be missed by passive monitoring. Great team work. @sbvirologia.bsky.social @astmh.bsky.social @utmbhealth.bsky.social
