The lab’s latest preprint, led by @halatamim is now out! In this paper we characterize how bacteria associated with C. elegans impacts microsporidia infection by altering host metabolism and producing compounds that inactive microsporidia spores https://t.co/Xaa9e58U7k 1/8

Who wants a fun and fairly easy/cheap side project to explore the uncharted diversity fungal-related
parasites?!?! Excited to share our @Curr_Protocols led by @halatamim, on the isolation and identification of
#microsporidia which infect #nematodes ! https://t.co/Zj5UpxK7Lg

@farmgirlphd Congratulations Julie! 🎉

[Aaron Reinke @Reinke_Science]

Excited to share our lab's latest paper, published by @eLife, on the identification of a secreted C. elegans protein that aids #microsporidia invasion!

The lab’s latest preprint, done almost entirely by very talented grad student @halatamim is now live! In this paper we discovered AAIM-1, an antibacterial protein that is needed for microsporidia to invade C. elegans

Super cool paper from @halatamim & @Reinke_Science.

Summary: the very weird parasite microsporidia exploits an antibacterial host protein to invade host cells in C. elegans. 🪱🦠

If you like infection, this is a fun one! 🥳

@zenakhalil_ @Reinke_Science Thank you zena!

[Hala Tamim @halatamim]

My first paper is up on bioRxiv🤗🤗 If you like reading about sneaky parasites (Microsporidia) utilizing host (C. elegans) immune genes to promote host invasion, give this a read! Big thanks to @Reinke_Science for fabulous mentorship throughout the project. 🔬 🧬 🧪

An intestinally secreted host factor limits bacterial colonization but promotes microsporidia invasion of C. elegans https://t.co/DOFEoaBYbM #bioRxiv

@linawadi862 @Reinke_Science Thanks Lina 😄

[Hala Tamim @halatamim]

@farmgirlphd @Reinke_Science Thanks Julie!

[Hala Tamim @halatamim]

So happy to be double vaccinated! Cannot wait to see and hug my family after almost 2 years apart❤️

[Alex Willis @awillis_science]

At least 3 Reinke lab members got their first shots today! Staff & volunteers were the nicest 🥳😷

[Aaron Reinke @Reinke_Science]

Very excited to share the lab’s first preprint in a project led by @awillis_science and Winnie Zhao where we demonstrate that parental infection with microsporidia induces inherited immunity in the offspring of C. elegans! 1/15

It’s wonderful to see Jennifer and Emmanuelle recognized with the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The seminal “Jinek et al.” paper they published together has been cited >9,500 times—approximately once every 8 hours since its publication in 2012. (1/3)

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

Let's normalize discussions of difficulties and struggles in science. We need to create an environment where trainees feel free & safe to express their disappointment and struggles. Science is awesome but hard. Failure is normal. Let's acknowledge & talk about it.

Any students wanting to practice their oral presentations, PowerPoint now has a rehearsal function that gives you live feedback and a report at the end.

[Aaron Reinke @Reinke_Science]

Also excited for our review coauthored with @halatamim on the molecular interactions between microsporidia and their hosts to be online https://t.co/Cz1pLiAQ3s

Absolutely tragic news coming out of Beirut. Canadians are thinking of everyone who has been injured and all those who are trying to locate a friend or family member or have lost a loved one. We’re keeping you in our thoughts and we stand ready to assist in any way we can.

The situation in #Lebanon has taken a turn for the worse this year, with a financial meltdown rooted in decades of state corruption and topped off with a pandemic. The crisis marks the biggest threat to its stability since the 1975-90 civil war. https://t.co/PznkOZjaAX
