@DPearsonPHL @jongeeting My kids use a straw to drink their soup. So… I am confused now.

I would like to thank all co-authors, especially Gracyn who was a major driving force of this project! @striepenlab @Francois_Mayer1 @parasitesrule @NatureMicrobiol

So… what does it clofazimean? NDH2 heterogeneity may act as a metabolic rheostat, enhancing parasite adaptability. Host diet, metabolism, microbiome, and immune pressure likely reshape parasite redox balance and drive allele dynamics.

Excited to share our new paper, co-led by Gracyn Buenconsejo and me. Why did a promising anti-#Cryptosporidium drug fail? We asked whether the parasite itself might already be genetically prepared to escape treatment. doi.org/10.1038/s41564… #Clofazimine #forwardgenetics

3rd edition of the cheese bracket, and we have an winner: Cabriolait from Belgium! 🧀 On its way to 1st place, it defeated one Italian, two US, and one Swiss cheese. An impressive run!

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

@OdedRechavi True with some exceptions! My PhD supervisor worked for a week on the bench with me to do some hot phenol RNA extractions that I was too afraid to do. 🤣

Did a little experiment with Hannah and her friend from school: they collected some cheek cells from saliva and looked at them under the microscope. Their excitement when the cells came into view was priceless. A nice reminder that even simple experiments can sparkcuriosity. 🔬
