The Asian Longhorned Tick: An Emerging Threat - livestock.extension.wisc.edu…
Working with the extension team at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to spread awareness.
The pre-print describing our work to discover new antigens to design anti-tick vaccines is out.

Like the Pasteur institute, we will be moving to a less polarizing and controversial platform.
You can find us at bluesky

I will temporarily leave this open for about a month and then make a complete move.
Thanks to all of those that have follow us!
The Institut Pasteur is leaving X.
Due to serious issues observed since its acquisition by Elon Musk, the Institut Pasteur is suspending its activities on this platform starting today and invites its followers to join on other platforms. ➡️ linktr.ee/institutpasteur
Wow

Not surprised. There is a need to bring opportunities to all. Not just those that have the money... how many talented scientist have we lost because of income and background? :(
I am a speaker for @UWBadgerTalks !
