What is the most aperture opening thing a phage enzyme can do to a eukaryotic host? This new paper put that question to the test in our lab.

[Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions @CSRIatLSTM]

Read this article, co-written by LSTM PhD student Camille Abada for @ConversationUK, about the discovery of the 95Mat5 antibody, which has huge potential as a game-changing treatment for snakebite envenoming. ⬇️ #Research https://t.co/ccV1rj7OAz

But perhaps the most striking pictures are those of the ordinary people of Samarqand, whether melon sellers and fabric merchants.

Excited to unveil our progress on a multiplexed split homing gene drive in Aedes aegypti! 🦟🧬 This journey has been a true collaboration, with incredible effort from many individuals. 🙌https://t.co/HrMpkM9PEh

I finish my PhD lab work the same way I started it: mosquito dissections. Since one of the things I've enjoyed most at @LSTMnews has been teaching, I thought I'd share these pics for whoever wants to use them 😊

We have a @IAFultonSchools DNA Club team researching the distribution of Wolbachia related sex ratio distorters in pillbugs across the US. We are raising funds to help with Sanger sequencing costs. Please help us if you can through our crowdfunding: https://t.co/IcKE2wtCqJ

Had about 2 years with Laura as a mentor and friend and all I’ll say is that Salford is lucky to be getting her. Good luck Laura!

[Laura E Brettell @laura_brettell]

Last day 🥹 after a great 2.5yrs here with @EvaHeinz7 @mosquitomicrobe and all. But also super excited for my independent position back at the Univ of Salford. Looking forward to collaborating on current, old and new stuff 🦟🐝🧫🧬🦠🦐

Perhaps you've wondered what Doritos would look like in a CT scan. We did, so here's a clump of Cool Ranch Doritos, scanned through the bag. But there's more...🧵

[Vish Dhokiya @vectorvish]

Been great to have @MosWhisperer visiting for the last couple of weeks. Treasure trove of mosquito/drosophila/Wolbachia knowledge.
