Exciting news! 🎉 Later in 2027, I’ll be joining the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick as an Assistant Professor and starting my own lab. 🔬🪰 I’d love to hear from graduating PhD students/ECRs interested in developing postdoctoral fellowship applications to join us. 1/2

If you never petted a bumblebee you are seriously missing out. Go do it. Be gentle. Share the feelings.

Wondering about the role of the Leishmania promastigote flagellum at the initiation of infection? It is essential but not via its motile function! Great work by Tom Beneke, Eva Gluenz @albuquerqueafrr.bsky.social and colleagues 👍 www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/...

Scary to see your family and friends freaking out because there are no conclusive explanations from trust worthy sources on what the cause of this is. Crossing fingers for this to be just a scary few hours and for everything to go back to normal soon 🙏🏼 #blackout #Portugal

you can remember it is the XXI century and there are a bunch of tools out there that can help you overcome this challenge. Example: Go to saymyname.io or www.name-coach.com/events/name-... write the name & its origin, let's say "Andreia", "Portugal", hear it & say it out loud. Works like a charm.

Saying someones' name accurately in an international context can be challenging. If you are chairing a seminar or conference session I can highly recommend you either find your speakers ahead of time and ask them how you can pronounce their name to the best of your abilities or...

6/ This steals their rightful time to do science, write science, grants. More lucky privileged need to invest their time to champion DEI. Stop the excuses to miss these meetings.

5/ care either way) but I want to highlight "outloud" the unfairness that is to have the already disasvantaged minorities that champion DEI meetings worldwide, to stop science for the time they are doing so, to teach other lucky priviliged people like me and others how we are discriminating them.

Andreia Wendt @albuquerqueafrr.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

4/... Hundreds to thousands of people worlwide face some form of discrimination from their peers. Fear of retaliation in calling out on someone for innapropriate behavior perpetuates innapropriate behavior. There is not enough space here to go on a full rant (also probably not enough that

3/... My cultural background, my socio economic status in relation to my colleagues world wide, my support system, the political climate in the country I work and where I reside. I realised I'm so lucky. Pure simple luck. Luck that makes me privileged and gives me opportunities to be a scientist.

2/... I was low key annoyed that I knew that my personal challenges in my career as a women in science were not even close to much more important issues affecting minorities who face way more discrimination than I will ever feel, understand or make sense of... Then I looked at my skin colour,

1/... I don't know if you had a chance of participating on a DEI session before, but today I participated on my first. To be frank, at first, I thought, why am I being put forward to be part of a panel for diversity, equity and inclusion? Am I supposed to be representing diversity?

Andreia Wendt @albuquerqueafrr.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

So I've done a really poor job at reporting back from this meeting, sorry! It has been a fantastic meeting with interesting new bits of science & fantastic updates from colleagues. It's particularly nice to put a face on virtual faces & have a chance to mingle with everyone during breaks!

3/3 I found particularly helpful when action points are structured, enabling to tackle more mundane quick changes in the right direction. Clearly lots of top down changes are needed, but at least where possible we can do something for the better! #parasitology

Pubmed and NIH websites are down. Probably consequences of the trash sitting in the white house. Here is an attempt at an alternative. europepmc.org Also, consider submitting your manuscript to preprint servers like connect.biorxiv.org/now/. #sciencewontstop #sciencedoesnotcareaboutyouropinion
