ASTMH strongly opposes proposed OMB rule on federal financial assistance. It will significantly weaken the foundations of the U.S. research enterprise by introducing political considerations into scientific funding decisions. Read our statement. https://t.co/iuhkjfFRwo

We recently deployed our favorite “lab in a suitcase” dynamic duo of #BentoLab and ONT #MinION to conduct real-time, in country multiplexed modular malaria amplicon sequencing by #MAD4HatTeR to inform public health policy decisions in Chad! #DecentralizedGenomicSurveillance

[Amy Kristine Bei @TheBeiLab]

We are very grateful for support from @TitosVodka to make this vision become a reality! CHEERS (Creating Hope + Elevating Emerging Research + Science) supports research to solve the world’s most urgent problems. Cheers to that! #ResearchResilience

[MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM @mrcunitgambia]

Our colleague, Prof @AA_Ngwa, delivered his #InauguralLecture today, sharing highlights from his journey researching River Blindness & malaria, from early immunology work in 🇨🇲 to leading genomic studies at MRCG.

Join us to congratulate him on this very significant milestone!🎉

[Science for Africa Foundation @SciforAfrica]

Congratulations Prof @gordon_awandare!

[FAIS_Africa @FAISAfrica]

🎉 Congratulations!

We are proud to congratulate, Clive Gray, Abdallah Badou, and Sabelle Jallow on their election as IUIS Council Members!

Their vision will strengthen African representation & amplify Africa’s voice in global immunology, within and beyond IUIS! 🌍

Celebrating the hard work of our team and community in our goal of connecting science and society! @theBentoLab @thebeilab @pasteurDakar @pasteurnetwork @yaleemd @yalesph

[Amy Kristine Bei @TheBeiLab]

From molecular speciation of mosquitoes by PCR, to multiplexed malaria amplicon sequencing to inform public health policy, we love how our “lab in a suitcase” equipped with #BentoLab & ONT #MinION enables us to bring our science to the communities at greatest risk for malaria.

📣 @SciforAfrica is still accepting submissions for the Africa Science Journalism Awards 2025.

The awards recognise and honour African journalists who excel in covering health, climate change and environment, and agriculture.

Deadline: July 4. https://t.co/en8wff0B38

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

In a historic and unprecedented move, all of the institutions at the @NIH have signed on to and sent a letter, the Bethesda Declaration, to the new director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, about the chaos at the NIH. This is a big deal, as it ultimately impacts all of us. It impacts the research that gets done or not done. It impacts what we know or what we will never know. Let’s see what the response will be, as the director is scheduled to testify before Congress tomorrow about the NIH’s budget.

In other news, speaking of unprecedented, Bhattacharya‘s boss just removed all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisers, saying the group is “plagued with conflicts of interest.”

It’s a chaotic, unprecedented time. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Yes the noise is loud, but we must continue to pay attention to what matters and stay informed and engaged! #abovethenoise

[Institut Pasteur de Dakar @PasteurDakar]

Après 32 années d’un engagement scientifique et institutionnel remarquable au sein de l’Institut Pasteur de Dakar, dont il assurait la direction générale depuis 2016, le Dr Amadou Alpha Sall a célébré son dernier jour à l’IPD ce vendredi 30 mai 2025.
