Caroline Langley (@__caro__line___) is crossing the country to start her postdoc, while Peter Dietzen, Michael Emerman & Jeannette Tenthorey have given up on X. I am happy to announce their discovery about ancient origins of antiviral Mx proteins biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/

🔥🔥🔥 @cesarmarin203 is 100% correct here. I don't know what the solution is, but things need to change.
Replying to @cesarmarin203
Many Global North res. don’t know or care to know that our colleagues here pay reactives from their own salary. Even for myself, living in South America’s “richest country”, coming to these events financially is very damaging. My salary as a Full Professor is comparable.. 4/n

Houston, we have a problem! I hope there is room for reflection after #IMC12 on this VERY obvious problem, so that as a community we can do a better. Check thread below for more information 👇 Cc @FungusCrous
Not personal, but is repeated assignment of multiple (up to 3!) speaker slots to same (senior) presenter the best way to compose a conference program, showcase science diversity, & promote speaker diversity? Why not promote more ECRs? #IMC12 #DiversityInScience

This is something I have noticed as well. Strong agree with @Team_Thomma that this should be addressed

I’ll be recruiting at all levels from March 2025, for projects involving theory, bioinformatics, and experimental microbiology. Enthusiasm > previous experience. Please get in touch if you want to explore the social lives of viruses. #Evol2024 #socialviruses #newpi

Very happy to share the copy-edited version of this work. This work identifies the first het genes in an Aspergillus species, and provides a strong start towards future work in this genus

I think that the abundant genomic resources, and all the efforts of the research community towards densely sampling this genus, provides opportunities not found in other fungal groups.

Always a surprise how many papers refer to the Central Dogma without really understanding it.

Interested in transposable elements and fungi? Come join us at Uppsala University. I'm currently hiring a PhD student to work on developing a model system to observe horizontal transfer of giant transposable elements (Starships) under lab conditions. uu.varbi.com/what:job/jobID:…
