Very excited with the latest paper from the @JobLopezRF lab. Some cool comparative genomics analysis of the conserved linear plasmid families in the Western Hemisphere soft tick-borne RF spirochetes. (1/2) @JournalSpectrum https://t.co/R05YKRwcP0

Soft tick relapsing fever is a rare but serious bacterial disease spread by Ornithodoros ticks. Check out CDC's recent MMWR: Soft Tick Relapsing Fever - United States, 2012-2021. New jobs are also featured in this week's PacVec Newsletter 7-28-2023: https://t.co/ld0thNdMlE

@AlexKneubehl He looks very skeptical!

@AlexKneubehl Literally doing this right now and I’m mad that my results are not this fast!

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

Got ticks? Join us today on @RedditAskSci at 2 p.m. ET for an in-depth discussion about the biology and history of Relapsing Fever. Our expert panelists will be Dr. Phil Stewart and Dr. Tom Schwan, both from @NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratories. https://t.co/m41JjDtlUB #scicomm

@sarahhollowell The Daevabad Trilogy by S A Chakraborty! I’ve been recommending this to everyone who’s looking for fantasy outside the standard. Great character development and more Eastern fantasy rather than Eurocentric.

[Dr. Brittany @tickdocPhD]

@AlexKneubehl And now it doesn’t have to be repeated! The bees can live free of liquid paper 😂

[Dr. Brittany @tickdocPhD]

🚨New paper drop🚨 Excited to share the work we did to develop a mouse model for Borrelia miyamotoi. While in the end we still don’t have a mouse model, we learned a lot about this stubborn bacteria. 1/3

[Dr. Brittany @tickdocPhD]

it’s still important to publish and share results. We learned a lot of things that didn’t work and some that did and now we and the Borrelia community can build on this work. 3/3

[Dr. Brittany @tickdocPhD]

Throughout the process we had other scientist tell us “oh we tried something similar, it didn’t work”, but it was never published or even presented meetings. I hope this paper shows scientist that even if the results aren’t what you expected or aren’t flashy, 2/3

@tattooed_bug Anything by Brandon Sanderson, but especially the Mistborn series. Also the Daevabad Trilogy by S. A. Chakraborty

@AlexKneubehl @JobLopezRF In my defense I would definitely come back to play with soft ticks!

[Dr. Brittany @tickdocPhD]

@AlexKneubehl She’s so happy!!!

[Dr. Brittany @tickdocPhD]

@nehamodi It’s true! It’s only cause I can’t do the same thing!
