The Reece Lab

Also we are on bluesky. Please follow us there @reecelab.bsky.social

We have a new paper investigating how mosquito nutrition affects malaria development. Our findings suggest malaria parasites may actively adjust oocyst growth rate to best exploit nutritional resources. doi.org/10.3389/fmala.…

@ab1nay @UofGSii @The_MRC Abhinay, that's awesome news! Huge congratulations. We'll have to come over and visit you soon.

Now that I am going through safety inductions, pretty safe to announce that I have moved to @UofGSii to start a lab funded by @The_MRC Career Development Award!

@UofGSii @LSHTM @ClareHardingLab @WCIPGLASGOW @SheinerLab @Waters_Group @BSPparasitology @UofGMVLS @MaizelsLab @McCulloch_Group @rmc9z @KathrynCrouch81 Thank you for making these available online, this is a fascinating talk!

🎥 | WATCH | A recording of the Dr Christiaan van Ooij (@LSHTM) GRiP-ing seminar, 'The great metamorphosis: how the malaria parasite changes shape to adapt to life inside the host', can now be viewed on our @UofGSii YouTube channel for a limited time. 📺youtu.be/JPLIkm-IlYk?si…

Another day, another batch of mosquito gut dissections. Look at those beautiful malaria oocysts (P. chabaudi) and i'm not sure but is that melanization too?

Today is world malaria day. Check out our website thereecelab.com to see how we use malaria as a model for studying ecology and evolution. We would also like to highlight the great work by @womeninmalaria and @SPPIRITnetwork for their help in fostering communities.

Congratulations Mrs. Pirie (Meldrum School): you are the lucky winner of the #ReeceLabOnTour Science Week Competition! The handheld microscopes will be coming your way after the Easter Break. @scotpenetwork @RaiseScotland @MeldrumSchool

It's always lovely to get post from the primary pupils participating in "Reece Lab On Tour"! Thanks so much for the amazing letters and drawings Lanark Primary, we hope you all had a lovely time. #ReeceLabOnTour @RaiseScotland @LanarkPrimary @scotpenetwork

I'm really proud of this one. New paper out, "Machine learning reveals singing rhythms of male Pacific field crickets are clock controlled". academic.oup.com/beheco/article…

🚨New paper alert 🚨From her time in our lab, the amazing @evolutiomary demonstrates that the calling behaviour of male Pacific field cricket is a circadian trait and therefore could be a target for natural selection imposed by a parasitoid fly. So cool! doi.org/10.1093/beheco…

Today in class we were all very lucky to capture a mosquito emerging from pupa form! So cool! youtube.com/watch?v=rdm5QI… #ReeceLabOnTour

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Here we (@CatherineEOke) test a non-destructive method to detect sporozoites from individual infected mosquitoes on sugar-feeding substrates. doi.org/10.1186/s13071…

We've had a really fun time teaching Japanese pupils Parasitology with @MalariaUnit. Two classes so far and both have been so much fun. #ReecelabOnTour

Waiting for the ferry to our new home for two weeks, Matsuyama! The Reece Lab is most definitely on tour! #Reecelabontour

Congratulations to one of our founding members, Prof. Sarah Reece, who was recently awarded an 8-year Wellcome Trust Grant! Visit thereecelab.com/# for more information on the @ReeceLab and the amazing research that they do. #malaria #parasites #circadian

@jrossfitz @SPPIRITnetwork @edin_EID @SBSatEd @BSPparasitology thank you! we are very happy :)

@SPPIRITnetwork @ReeceLab @edin_EID @SBSatEd @BSPparasitology Congratulations @ReeceLab - brilliant news !

@Sherif44292059 @SPPIRITnetwork @edin_EID @SBSatEd @BSPparasitology Thank you very much, we are so pleased

@SPPIRITnetwork @ReeceLab @edin_EID @SBSatEd @BSPparasitology My heartfelt Congratulations @ReeceLab. Amazing award for amazing team and leadership. 👏

@hanniepower Thank you, we are over the moon! :)

Omg - congratulations @ReeceLab!! 😃🥳

Our lab now gets a well deserved rest for our brains. :) what a great meeting #ItsAboutTime

And finally we finish up the day with a talk from Antony Dodd showing us how circadian rhythms are going to help us save the planet. #ItsAboutTime

Attending a Royal Society meeting on biological rhythms in infection. After an introduction from Rachel Edgar, John O'Neill starts the session by giving us the 101 on oscillators. #ItsAboutTime
