Our work just came out today in print form in Nat Micro. Really a tour de force from Hisham Alrubaye on sexual development in Toxoplasma gondii. Well done!

Putting RFK Jr. in charge of the nation’s public health is a huge mistake.
When dangerous diseases resurface and people can’t access lifesaving vaccines, all Americans will suffer — and RFK Jr.’s family could keep getting richer thanks to his serious conflicts of interest.
RFK Jr. is about the least qualified person to be in charge of the nation’s health as head of HHS. He's fully on board for Donald Trump's fascist takeover of the government.
But he used to sing a very different tune years ago.
What happened to this RFK Jr.?
Trump's proposal is ILLEGAL & amounts to an indiscriminate funding cut for research centers of all sizes, NOT just Ivies. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, & derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
@Issy2010Tiger@JasonSynaptic Public research in the us is so good because all forms of science are funded. Things we don’t know will be useful or field changing are funded here. Listing priorities is difficult as we often don’t know where the next big breakthroughs are going to come from.
@davidhagmann@ATabarrok Long run outlook similarly bad. Why do you think this will somehow be a good thing? Also do you really think it’s about saving money? Cause I don’t.
@Brandon07168337@AndrewChignell@NIH It’s not about saving money. It’s a drop in the bucket and guts an incredible research infrastructure with the best equipment and best research labs. It is the most well funded research enterprise in the world. And the return to the economy is typically double.
