Congratulations @schistosoma.bsky.social on getting the BSP Presidents Medal 🥇 . Great to see a fellow Crewe-export doing wonderful things!

We open with @sheinerlab.bsky.social introducing a scientist who needs no introduction - Dominique Soldati-Favre. Dominique was awarded lifetime membership to the @bspparasitology.bsky.social for her immeasurable contributions to the field. #bsp #parasites #peoplemakeglasgow

Our Spring meeting starts today in Glasgow! All the best to all those presenting @bspparasitology.bsky.social

University of Glasgow ready to host the opening session of the British Society of Parasitology Spring Meeting 2026! #bsp #parasites #peoplemakeglasgow #uog

🆕 | Sii's Dr Mariana Ferreira Silva has been awarded a Young Investigator Grant from FAPESP to establish a research group at the University of São Paulo. The group will investigate how the ubiquitination system contributes to the Toxoplasma gondii life cycle. 🔗 More: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/infe...

Incredibly proud to share that our work on Cryptosporidium Oocyst Wall Proteins is published in @PLOSPathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogen... Led by previous PhD student @BacchettiRoss and carried on by current PhD student, Sarah Stevens.

📣 Open postdoc position in my lab to investigate how Toxoplasma acquires nutrients. Join me at the University of Edinburgh. Closing date 14th August. More details below ⬇️ elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

I am looking for a Research Technician! Come join me in my quest to unlock the secrets of Toxoplasma’s RNA-binding proteins and how they help these parasites steal nutrients. Deadline for applications is August 6th! www.jobs.gla.ac.uk/job/technici...

New preprint alert 🔔🎉 We are so happy to share that our latest work “ZFT is the major iron and zinc transporter in Toxoplasma gondii” is now available online! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fantastic opportunity with a great supervisor!

Thanks to the organisers for #EMBLRBP meeting! Can’t wait for day 3 to begin! Come to poster #148 to hear about how the most successful parasite might use RBPs to steal from you! The perfect poster to get you in the mood for @shikhas.bsky.social to dazzle you with some funky mitoribosomes @6:30PM!

Can wait to see where the Maclean Lab goes! You will be missed around here. Good luck buddy.

Excited to be able to share our new paper 'Iron Mediated Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii'! Thanks to all involved including the awesome @clarehardinglab.bsky.social and @danaaghabi.bsky.social! journals.plos.org/plospathogen.... Read on for quick-read digest of our new work...

Lovely work from @shikhas.bsky.social et al. 😍

Remember learning that ribosomes are made of 1 large subunit RNA + 1 small subunit RNA? Well, some cells defy this rule, and the most extreme case is Toxoplasma which makes its mitoribosome from >50 RNA pieces! Wanna know how? Read below

Opportunities are popping up in every parasite field! For Toxoplasma, check out @sheinerlab.bsky.social, and for Trypanosoma, head over to @fariatrypslab.bsky.social Interested in malaria? Don’t miss your chance to join @abhinay.bsky.social to learn more about Plasmodium!

Apply, apply, apply! Don't miss out on your chance to work with a fantastic scientist and mentor!
