To be clear: the US election result is a blow in the fight against the climate crisis. The window to limit warming to 1.5°C is closing—these next 4 years are critical. But let’s not despair. The Paris Agreement has proven resilient, stronger than any one country’s policies (1/10)

Thrilled to share the findings of my first major postdoc project with @DrBadBug and @teresa_omeara in our pre-print, "Non-canonical activation of IRE1 during Candida albicans infection enhances macrophage fungicidal activity." biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Non-canonical activation of IRE1α during Candida albicans infection enhances macrophage fungicidal...

Infection by intracellular pathogens can trigger activation of the IRE1α branch of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which then modulates innate immunity and infection outcomes during bacterial or...

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… 1/9

Thought ticks were terrifying? They just got worse. Turns out they can use static electricity ⚡️ to launch through the air onto hosts, including you! Here's a thread about our new paper w/ @Katie__Lihou, Daniel Robert, out today in @CurrentBiology doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.0… 🧵👇

They can discourage me, but they will not break me. I'm going to continue to fight, speak out, connect people to where they want to get to, and help them as much as I can. Check out this podcast in general, but this episode in particular. Please share it with undergrads :)

6yo asked me to explain what “normal” was. So I did. With examples. Long story short, 6yo is happily explaining normal distribution to a 5yo. “And sister, this is really important: there is no normal. It’s just the name of the curve.”

How we think and talk about mitochondria matters to our science and to newcomers in the field. The powerhouse analogy is expired and we need specific vocabulary to capture the beautiful complexity of mitochondrial biology. We propose a framework and some nomenclature.
