Pleased to have a recent PLOS pathogens Pearl out, in collaboration with Ellen Nisbet and Vish Nene, discussing protozoan parasites of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa.
Tackling protozoan parasites of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa

Delighted to have finally arrived at my new academic home as a Proleptic Senior Lecturer with the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol.
I am never going to tire of the daylight in this gorgeous building!
@BristolBioSci @BristolUni @BBSRC
It was a lot of fun being able to give a talk 'in São Paulo' today, thank you for inviting us to join you @Ariel_Lab and for the interesting discussions from you and your group!
We had today another great morning learning from the impressive work being made @MacGregor_Lab. Thank Paula and team for the fantastic talk and discussions!
Really exciting to see an oral treatment become available for HAT!
Follow the maiden voyage of fexinidazole, the 1st all-oral treatment for #sleepingsickness, from France to the DRC. Its a journey we've been on for over a decade with @sanofi & we're celebrating the first patients to receive this innovative drug. #beatNTDs bit.ly/2YCX5le
Reminder: any labs in the Downing site/central area, you have until 10am today (Friday 20th) to donate your facemasks to the Clinical Schools via BioPath Stores. #Covid19 #FightCOVID19
A reminder that BioPath Stores are collecting FACE MASKS for the Clinical School until 10am tomorrow, Friday 20th.
Please take any spare masks, of any type, to the Stores External Reception between the Hopkins Building and Dept. Pathology on the Downing Site.

To all Research Groups/Departments in the Downing Site/Town Centre:
The Clinical School have requested donations of any FACE MASKS that might be available. If you have any spares, perhaps in cupboards or next to balances, please could you hands these in at BioPath Stores (1/n)
Trypanosoma brucei utilises a receptor for the mammalian complement regulator factor H to increases transmission to tsetse flies: disq.us/t/3mug5hc
Very excited to be welcoming Dr Pegine Walrad (Lecturer @UniOfYork ) to our Host-Parasite Seminar Series @Cambridge_Uni. Pegine will be presenting her groups work on trans-regulators in Leishmania gene regulation at 4pm in the Pathology Dept seminar room. All welcome.
The Science Scribbler, @deescadden, has been making some fun (and very useful) biochemistry and molecular biology videos. The 'Primer Extension' video came in very useful for a recent UG journal club!
So... films are uploaded, name chosen, and logo drawn.... welcome to my YouTube Channel - 'The Science Scribbler'... please check it out and subscribe! bit.ly/34JSmzt

Don't forget, Professor Vish Nene from the @ILRI (pictured), Nairobi, will be speaking on vaccine development research for livestock diseases this afternoon, Weds 10th, at 4pm in the Sanger Building Lecture Theatre - all welcome! @GlobalFood_Camb
Very pleased to have Vish Nene from @ILRI, Nairobi, in Cambridge today and tomorrow. Join us for his talk on vaccine development research for livestock diseases at 4pm on Wednesday 10th in the Thomas Lecture Theatre (@CamBiochem Biochem Sanger Building)
A very delicious #PRIDEinSTEM day at the Department of Biochemistry, Cambridge!
We're set up in the Sanger Building to continue our #LGBTSTEMDay celebrations! Cake, face paints, leaflets and more!

Last week was the @bbsrc fellows conference then the kinetoplastid breeders club. Today is the #MilnerSymp19. Three very different events - It’s lovely to be enjoying such a broad range of science and approaches in such a short time.
Visiting the International Livestock Research Institute @ILRI in Kenya, hearing about very interesting research and enjoying some beautiful views.
Vaccines have prevented MILLIONS of people from serious or deadly illness. There is no cure for polio (which can cause debilitating and life-threatning paralysis) and to have gone from ~350,000 to only ~33 cases in 30 years is an incredible success for science and medicine.

I am really enjoying the image of the black hole, can only imagine how exciting that must be for all of the scientists who worked towards making it happen!
