Very happy to now see our #zebrafish/#pneumococcus dual RNA-seq paper out in @CellReports! Congratulations to @KK_Jim for getting this over the line. Lots of interesting things in this report, see a previous thread 👇

New preprint where we (@KK_Jim & @RiezaApr) performed 'whole animal' dual RNA-seq to figure out regulatory pathways important for pneumolysin-dependent meningitis in the pneumococcus-zebrafish embryo model. Short thread.

@andrewdstephens @wilbertbitter @Nature It's mind-blowing, really. In an ideal world, they take the post down and instead offer paid reviewer positions to young scientists to help them get familiar with the reviewing process. A man can dream.

Lol.. for a second thought it was April's Fools already.

Hoi @CarlMoons! Zag net https://t.co/gY4t1LqCn5 voorbij komen. Is er een preprint of data beschikbaar? Is infectious virus gemeten door te kijken naar plaques of culturable virus? Thanks voor het werken aan dit! Belangrijk onderzoek.

@MycoLAtes This goes for any academic looking for a job outside of academia, by the way. 👆

[Maikel Boot @Maikel_Boot]

@MycoLAtes Also given your resume (since it's similar to mine) I can tell you that there's plenty of opportunities out there, no need for FOMO. Keep on looking!

[Maikel Boot @Maikel_Boot]

@MycoLAtes @hugodejonge Ik schaam me dood met zo'n (lokale) regering, echt waar.

[Maikel Boot @Maikel_Boot]

@serdundon Count me in, I'll take that offer! You'd make the awesomest grandma ever, Sam!

[Maikel Boot @Maikel_Boot]

@amy_fv Cleaners are the best!!

@hugodejonge @hugodejonge & @Rijksoverheid BioSynex test is goedgekeurd als sneltest voor thuis, maar het lijkt mij dat deze test exclusief met een nasopharyngeale swab wordt geleverd.. Hoe is dat een sneltest voor zelf/thuis gebruik? Is de kit die is goedgekeurd een andere dan de NP swab?
