a bit of clathrin, a bit of virus, a bit of organoids: A LOT OF FUN

Lost memories is the one that stings the most, and the one I fear the most as I continue to age. For me, my posts on X are a diary I hope to use in the coming years to recover lost thoughts and feelings.

Using a technology first discovered at Harvard, a baby's life is saved by UPenn doctors. A striking example of how science helps humanity. pennmedicine.org/news/news-r…

Great talk from @ZinaUckeley at the German society of virology #GfV2025 How hypoxia in the gut impacts rotavirus infection. Great feedbacks from the attendees! Great meeting as usual!

What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

We are very proud of our amazing undergrad student Victoria Karaluz. She is a student ambassador for our Emerging pathogen Institute @UF_EPI . Bonus info, we are revealing the rebranding of our labs with @Megan_Stanifer : the #Boulanifer.lab
Working with EPI members @BoulantLab and @Megan_Stanifer, @UF_CLAS undergraduate Victoria tackles the pathogens that infect our intestines. "I'm getting the answer to questions that people have never asked before," she said. Watch the full video 📹: bit.ly/3WUWLNE.

To add stress in this situation, the only person that we can contact if our PO who I guess are not allowed to communicate with us.
Replying to @BoulantLab
We are in the same situation, with grant scored at 3rd % and council meeting cancelled until further notice. I would think and hope at some point they will resume and fundable grants will be funded but timeline is unpredictable at this point

Some months ago, I received the great news that my #NIH RO1 grant received a likely fundable score. With the NIH not being able to hold meetings and take decision, the council meeting is canceled ( was planned next week). I have now so many questions now! 🧵/1

🧵/2 -What is going to happen now? -Did I just loose this critical milestone? - tenuring…. Maybe just vanished! -I was planing to submitting another grant in a few weeks, what do I do ? Don’t bother? -I was asked why I did not want to celebrate my RO1 yet. Here is the reason!

A big thank to @UF_EPI for creating this cool video explaining our research. A major thank to all my team and @Megan_Stanifer team members for being so motivated and committed in their research. A special to @Sorin_Jacobs for being part in this cinematographic journey.
How do low oxygen levels impact the viruses in our gut? Can understanding their relationship lead to better treatment of enteric viruses? #Rotavirus and #norovirus beware! The @BoulantLab's #research aims to take you down. 👊 Watch the full video 📹: bit.ly/4hXrDpN.
