@ihpe_lab had the pleasure of welcoming @PriSalloum for an insightful day of scientific exchange on #microbiome approaches central to the PhD thesis of Celia koellsch. We gratefully acknowledge the enriching contributions of Eve Toulza, Bertrand de L’Isle, and Olivier Rey

Kenya has eliminated human African trypanosomiasis 🇰🇪 Kenya has achieved a huge milestone as the World Health Organization (WHO) has validated it having eliminated human African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness. Ten countries have now successfully eliminated human African trypanosomiasis as a public health problem. The other countries are Benin, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Guinea, Rwanda, Togo, and Uganda. This is the second Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Kenya has eliminated - it eliminated Guinea worm disease in 2018.

Tendo em vista a manifestação pública do presidente norte-americano Donald Trump apresentada em uma rede social, na tarde desta-quarta (9), é importante ressaltar: O Brasil é um país soberano com instituições independentes que não aceitará ser tutelado por ninguém. O processo judicial contra aqueles que planejaram o golpe de estado é de competência apenas da Justiça Brasileira e, portanto, não está sujeito a nenhum tipo de ingerência ou ameaça que fira a independência das instituições nacionais. No contexto das plataformas digitais, a sociedade brasileira rejeita conteúdos de ódio, racismo, pornografia infantil, golpes, fraudes, discursos contra os direitos humanos e a liberdade democrática. No Brasil, liberdade de expressão não se confunde com agressão ou práticas violentas. Para operar em nosso país, todas as empresas nacionais e estrangeiras estão submetidas à legislação brasileira. É falsa a informação, no caso da relação comercial entre Brasil e Estados Unidos, sobre o alegado déficit norte-americano. As estatísticas do próprio governo dos Estados Unidos comprovam um superávit desse país no comércio de bens e serviços com o Brasil da ordem de 410 bilhões de dólares ao longo dos últimos 15 anos. Neste sentido, qualquer medida de elevação de tarifas de forma unilateral será respondida à luz da Lei brasileira de Reciprocidade Econômica. A soberania, o respeito e a defesa intransigente dos interesses do povo brasileiro são os valores que orientam a nossa relação com o mundo.

Proud to announce that my first PhD student - Celia Koesllsch-Amet - won the Best Poster Award at @MIIM_2024. Her thesis investigates the co-infection of malaria and schistosomiasis in a murine model 🎉🦠🪱🐭 Well done Celia! @ihpe_lab @upvd1 #ProudPI #malaria #schistosomiasis

We dropped off our ballots a bit ago. My ancestors fought long and hard for the right to vote. Here’s hoping for change in Utah and a congress in DC that will stand up for women’s right to healthcare.

🎉 Fête de la Science à l’UPVD ! Tout est prêt pour accueillir le public de jeudi à samedi. Venez jouer avec les molécules 🧬 et découvrir le monde fascinant des parasites 🔬 #FetedelaScience ⁦@upvd1⁩ #SciencePourTous

The last two weeks have been intense for my team @ihpe_lab @upvd1. We presented the annual qualification report for two PhD students and welcomed Júlia Alves, a PhD student from @fiocruz_en @fiocruz , who is joining us for a 6-month internship. #proudPI

It’s funny to see Elon Musk and the usual gringo fascists sharing all sorts of English-language hyperbole about the horrible Brazilian dictatorship while my Brazilian friends are sharing memes making fun of Elon Musk
