Slightly belated notice, but it's out! Our characterisation of the #myosin motor proteins TbMyo1, TbMyo21 in #Tbrucei + use of anti-#actin #chromobody, now as a #VOR in @eLife - really privilege to publish in a journal I've supported for many years. 👇 elifesciences.org/articles/96953

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

#Trypanasome #parasites evade attacking #antibodies from their host's immune system by rapid #endocytosis elucidated here by advanced #electronmicroscopy & #fluorescence #microscopy. Video & research by @flink2243 et al @ZEB_UniWue in @eLife. On bpod.org.uk/archive/2024/7…

First sentence of my PhD dissertation acknowledgments: "Dissertations are researched and written alone, but they are not entirely solitary endeavours." What is yours?

Our paper on the #actomyosin system of #Tbrucei is now online @eLife as a #PeerReview'd #Preprint 🤩Shoutout: the reviews are a blueprint for how #PeerReview should be - courteous, critical, and constructive. Thank you @eLife! (1/3) doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

@FromPhDtoLife Thanked my climbing gyms 😂😬

I mentioned my favorite band in my PhD dissertation acknowledgments. Ha! Did you thank anyone or anything surprising in yours?

Did you every wonder what’s the underlying structural basis for the remarkable efficient membrane traffic in trypanosomes? Then check our latest publication! We combined advanced light and electron microscopy techniques to visualize the endsomal system elifesciences.org/articles/91194

@TIRscienceblog Multi-resistant bacteria are a myth we are safe 😬 until we re not 😳

Kids have nearly finished a course of antibiotics, and I just noticed that neither the bottle nor the packaging displays any instructions on correct disposal after use. 😬How many of these bottles are getting rinsed in the sink and put in glass waste???🫣🤯

@TIRscienceblog @ZEB_UniWue It was fun working and writing together with you 🤗🥳

New #preprint! Not the last paper I'll publish, but the last project the group worked on before closing - a fantastic collab with @flink2243 (@ZEB_UniWue) on the #actomyosin system of #Tbrucei! 🧵👇(1/9) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Daja Schichler @CosmosInACell, Antonia Konle, Brooke Morriswood @TIRscienceblog @ZEB_UniWue, et al. discover that entry of surface-bound cargo in the trypanosome flagellar pocket is dependent on the hook protein TbSmee1 and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

🔬Exciting news from our lab! Our recent paper uses #dSTORM to redefine our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 entry-receptors. Endogenous ACE2 is expressed as monomer at low densities of 1-2 receptors/µm2 in the plasma membrane❗️ ➡️onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

In their #OpenAccess Research Article, Hanna Thoma, Manfred Alsheimer @ZEB_UniWue and colleagues dissect the role of SUN4 at the spermatid nucleo-cytoplasmic junction and the process of sperm-head formation. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13… #OpenAccess #ReadandPublish

@fireinlab Looks amazing. What are your recommended routes?

I know I've missed at least 3 amazing conferences this month but I highly recommend hiking everyday in Patagonia for two weeks. Hit me up if you need itinerary ideas - March is the perfect time!

Paper writing👇...it’s a horse👀😅 #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

Somedays I wish I ran experiments that were a bit more…everything

Shocking that so many people go to industry ... so weird 😅 #academia #phd #phdlife #phdchat #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #MedTwitter

@ThePhDPlace My dentist keeps asking if I am stressed 😬😂

Tell me you’re doing a PhD without telling me you’re doing a PhD
