NEW publication out in @NatureMicrobiol!🥳

The conidial surfaceome (surface proteins) of #Aspergillus fumigatus contains unique proteins absent in non-pathogenic relatives. KOs revealed 33 genes affect #pathogenesis and related traits, indicating the surfaceome impacts virulence

Best. Sample. Ever. Two students at the clinic baked and decorated cakes to look like sick turf... complete with yellow and green coconut, chocolate layers for thatch... cup cutter size, wrapped in foil, sealed in a box, addressed to Rapid Turf. Outstanding you two, well done!

Big goal in life is to befriend a crow or raven. Corvids are so special. Id love to volunteer at a behavioral psych lab working on corvid linguistics. I bet they have the ability to verbalize if given the right tools.

I wanna talk to a crow 🥺
