Lovely front cover!

Great and efficient system!

Curious about how antibodies can target Plasmodium sporozoites? Very happy to see this review out, it means a lot to me to finish my PhD research topic with a nice overview of what is known about how anti-CSP Abs neutralize the parasite in the mammalian host.

Does #dengue virus hijack #mosquitoes' brain? Study led by Felix Hol @pasteur.fr discovered that infected mosquitoes take smaller blood meals. As a result, they bite more often, and potentially infect infect more people. (video in French with English subtitles available) youtu.be/2u_qckfAQa4?...

Be ready for an exciting meeting!

The End! Thanks all for joining us🙌🏻🙌🏻 Hope everyone enjoy this amazing week💚💚 #ChoanoCon2025

I had an excellent time at Choanocon in Paris meeting old friends (some who I had never met in 3D!) and making new ones. Congratulations to @thibautbrunet.bsky.social and team for some excellent organising. There was a squeaky pig, there were baguettes, there were weird bugs, the people were happy.

Fantastic #ChoanoCon2025 meeting with choanoflagellates and multiple fascinating protists! Meeting again choanoflagellate legend Barry Leadbeater 27 years later was emotional! And awarding a baguette for best talk was something 😂 Many thanks to @thibautbrunet.bsky.social for perfect organisation 👏👏👏

I will be recruiting new postdocs with start dates end 2025 - early 2026. If you'd like to work at the Pasteur Institute in the heart of Paris surrounded by amazing scientists, reach out to discuss possible projects on SynBio / Bacterial Immunity!

Please consider applying for a post doc in our lab if you have bioinformatics and wet lab skills, and are interested in parasites! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...
