What is the most aperture opening thing a phage enzyme can do to a eukaryotic host? This new paper put that question to the test in our lab. Sperm, prophage, long noncoding RNA, and symbiosis by @KaurTweets @SuperFlySci @Britt_3Phage @JediShropshire science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Prophage proteins alter long noncoding RNA and DNA of developing sperm to induce a paternal-effect...

Wolbachia prophage manipulates sperm noncoding RNA and DNA vital for chromatin integrity and offers potential leads for vector control.

Read this article, co-written by LSTM PhD student Camille Abada for @ConversationUK, about the discovery of the 95Mat5 antibody, which has huge potential as a game-changing treatment for snakebite envenoming. ⬇️ #Research theconversation.com/were-a-s…

We’re a step closer to having a universal antivenom for snake bites – new study

We’re still using century-old technology to make snake antivenom. A method fit for the 21st century is on the horizon.

I finish my PhD lab work the same way I started it: mosquito dissections. Since one of the things I've enjoyed most at @LSTMnews has been teaching, I thought I'd share these pics for whoever wants to use them 😊

Protip: Never let agenda take over the science in your field, because you only end up with confusing the field rather than improving a more accurate vision of the world.
