What if we could disarm a pathogenic fungus by cutting off its nutrient supply? We found that blocking a metabolic gene, ALT1, in C. albicans weakens it. This could be a game-changer for developing new antifungal drugs & vaccines.

In our latest study we repurposed #besifloxacin, an FDA-approved antibiotic that shows promising antifungal activity in synergy with common antifungal fluconazole.
We’re hopeful that this opens new doors in #AntifungalTherapy.

@WHO And of course the proposed renaming of Candida auris to Candidozyma auris is mentioned, curious if the Q&A of this session will only about taxonomy instead of #AMR.....

We are #hiring! We have two PDRA positions available on a new Wellcome trust funded project. This exciting research will investigate how #Candida albicans undergoes immune evasion and is a collaboration with @theRAD_lab

raat ko agar main kahi jaa rahi hu aur sadak pe mere peeche koi aadmi aa jaaye toh usse darne se pehle kya usse jaa ke poochu ki woh evil hai stupid hai insensitive hai ya good hai gadhe rape culture ek social state hai jisme hum pahoch chuke hai tum apna not all men pe lage raho

To all the men out there, I urge you: Do not engage in debates with women on social media when they are expressing their anger over the recent horrific incident in Bengal. Their words are not just a reaction to this tragedy; they are the outpouring of years of pain, frustration, and fear born from personal experiences with toxic men-men who harassed & assaulted them, who made them feel uncomfortable, who objectified them since childhood. There are experiences they never shared even with their parents, this burning anger is not merely a reaction but a response to the lifelong burden they've carried.

As men, we can never fully understand what they have endured. No matter how hard we try, we cannot measure the depths of their suffering.
Right now, in this moment of grief and outrage, what women need is not debate but mutual support. They need support from every community to ensure that justice is served for their sister who was brutally murdered by some of those "men."

This is not the time to argue or to defend; it is the time to listen. If you cannot offer comfort or understanding, at the very least, offer your silence.
Do not become another obstacle in their fight against the evils of our society. Instead, stand with them, listen to them, and let your actions reflect the justice and respect that all women deserve.

Better take care of yourself, your sisters, your mothers and loved ones.

Astounding information emerges in Kolkata HC.
Current Commissioner of Police, Kolkata, Vineet Goyal, under whose watch #kolkatahorror is unfolding, was IGP of state CID during Kamduni gangrape.
In Kamduni, 20-year-old Shipra Ghosh was gangraped by 8 men. After raping her, they tore apart her legs up to the navel, slit her throat and dumped her body in a field.
Ansar Ali, Saiful Ali, Aminoor Ali, Bhutto Molla, Enamul Molla, Amin Ali, Gopal Naskar, Bholanath Naskar.
All got death sentence, but all escaped because the cops botched it up.
Exactly what the current admin may again need from a man of Vineet Goyal’s experience.

A womans safety is the job of her govt, her administration, her institutions, her faculty, her education systems, her authorities, her courts, her country to enforce and systemically guarantee. It should have nothing to do with her hours, wardrobe or anything else. It’s OUR job.

A few month ago I had to cancel my airline ticket from #makemytrip app from where I had booked the ticket. The airlines refunded Rs 1098 to mmt. Mmt deducted Rs 502 against service charges for cancellation and refunded Rs 406 to my wallet from where I could

I have now pledged to purchase my tickets directly from airlines without going through the sites of these travel monsters.

[Shuvechha @Shuvechha91]

MMT is both during booking and cancellation which seemed outrageous. I registered my complaint with @MoCA_GoI via @jagograhakjago and this was resolved in 1.5 mnth. I received my money back from MMT. Thanks to Consumer Forum & Ministry of Civil Aviation GOI.

transfer only Rs 364 to my bank account. Even though cancellation is done 2 months prior, airlines charges a heavy fine (why?...remains a question to me as the same seat can be booked by someone in the next months with a higher price). The charges imposed by

I'm appalled at how #Digiyatra is unethically collecting photos for facial recognition. This was what happened at BLR T2 today...

I am not registered in Digiyatra. From the first entrance they shunted me at every entrance today morning to the very last one. Each and every security person was rude.

I reached the very last entry in the terminal and they shunted me again to the last queue which is for people without Digiyatra.

Note the fellow wearing the green t-shirt standing in front of the security person who is checking tickets and ID.

There were about 6 passengers in front of me. Whenever each passenger scans the boarding pass at the flap gate, one screen pops in front of them asking for their consent to have their photo taken.

This fellow in the green t-shirt will quickly reach and click 'Yes' on the screen before the passenger knows what is happening. Photo taken and off the passenger goes into the terminal.

I reached the gate and as soon as I scanned my boarding pass, I clicked 'No' on the screen before this green t-shirt fellow could react. I asked him why he is clicking the screen for people. Silence and the security guy gave me a stony stare and waved me to go in.

I'm sure one day this Digiyatra is going to have it's day in court. That day they will produce all of this consent collected by fraud and say "see lots of people are OK with it, why is one minority complaining". If those who oppose want, we will give them one queue in a corner of the airport to rot.

BTW, I have no problem if the Govt Of India collects this data. Not some random private Digiyatra Foundation.
