thanks @BayAreaLyme and @LymeBiobank for supporting this project!
🔥 New BAL-funded research led by Emerging Leader Award recipient @petedoesscience identifies antiphospholipid antibodies that may help detect Lyme earlier & identify persistent disease, & dysregulation of these natural antibodies is common in autoimmune conditions. This is the first published study to use persistent samples from @LymeBiobank, advancing research.

This is a really great opportunity to get cool work off the ground - BALF helped us kickstart the diagnostic test we're working on.
Plus, you get a trophy!
Reminder: @BayAreaLyme Emerging Leader Award ($150K) grant applications are due by March 7, 2025. These are for scientists from post doc through associate professor. See application and requirements here:

My lab is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it! Contact me or apply in the link if you are interested in a postdoc exploring plasmid-dependent phage biology in beautiful (and super affordable!) upstate New York🍎healthresearch.wd1.myworkday… 1/3
does anyone know of a biobank or commercial vendor that has long COVID samples? we want to compare with post-treatment Lyme symptoms.
people are out there just making new shapes
Using centuries-old mathematics, researchers have discovered a new kind of shape that describes forms commonly found in the natural world. go.nature.com/3XSlKBZ
this is going to produce a huge amount of data and resources for the Lyme community...excited to be a small part of the project!
Huge news! 🎊 TUSM researchers (@TuftsLyme), led by Dr. Linden Hu, secured a $20.7 million @NIH grant to study chronic #LymeDisease. The largest NIH-backed study yet, it aims to unlock the mysteries behind long-term symptoms.

congratulations trever!
.@trevercsmith of @TuftsMedSchool has been named winner of the #BAL 2024 Emerging Leader Award. Dr. Smith will receive $150K for his pioneering research on combination therapies for persistent #Lymedisease. His work aims to create a first-of-its-kind drug interaction compendium to better target persistent Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) infections. This could lead to more effective treatments, offering new hope for those w/ persistent #Lyme.

One competitor is willing to go to extreme lengths to compete in the triathlon at #Paris2024, even if he's faced with the pollution issues in the River Seine ⚠️
#Olympics #BBCOlympics
ALT Team USA triathlete Seth Rider speaks about taking part in the triathlon in the River Siene, stating, "We know that there's going to be some E. coli exposure, so I just try to increase my E. coli threshold by exposing myself to a bit of E. coli in your day-to-day life. Just little things throughout your day, like, not washing your hands after you go to the bathroom and stuff like this."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not how to build up resistance to E. Coli but it is a good way to spread it and other diseases.
Ignore this chap. Wash your hands.
