Spyros found that combining resistant mutations resulted in a fitness cost, and this becomes lethal when the mutations occur within the same protein or protein complex.

Eveline Snelders @evelinesnelders.bsky.social reminds us that with all this fresh air 🌬️ comes a few billion fungal 🍄 spores The lack of data describing which fungi are where 🌍 is a major barrier to understanding antifungal 💊 resistance Citizen science 🧑🏾‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬🧑🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬 can help!! #fungal26

@evelinesnelders.bsky.social shares work utilizing citizen science 👥🥼🧪 to sample for airborne fungal resistance with Schimmelradar (fungal radar) program 🍄📡 - and some really cool results showing land use is a better predictor for azole resistance! 💪🏻 #fungal26

Now up on bioRxiv! Working with @dianzheng.bsky.social and Jan van Kan, we tested how DNA is distributed between nuclei in multinucleate fungal spores. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Aspergillus is the canary in the coal mine, warns researcher @evelinesnelders.bsky.social (at @w-u-r.bsky.social) According to her, there is a good chance that fungal species that occur elsewhere in the world are also becoming resistant. Report by Sarah Ouwerkerk, @karlijnsaris.bsky.social 2/2

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Hi fungal friends! For #FungalFriday a thread about our newly published work, “Land use drives drug resistance in an airborne human fungal pathogen”, now out in The ISME Journal with @bobriggeman.bsky.social, Hylke Kortenbosch, @benauxier.bsky.social + co-authors academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

academic.oup.com

Land use drives drug resistance in an airborne human fungal pathogen

Abstract. Humans are exposed to the mold Aspergillus fumigatus via inhalation, and infections are increasingly resistant to triazole-class antifungals. Eco

Highly recommend (long) read for anyone who's been leading a lab 10+ years!

I suppose, then, I am well qualified to say something about staying in the game. I have done it for over
twenty years. I have contributed to research on several topics in biology and the social sciences. I hold
a full professorship in a decent research-intensive university. I get some very nice academic invitations.
So it seems I have avoided the ‘exit academia’ arrows, possibly even with aplomb. But—and this is
what qualifies me—I haven’t avoided them nearly as easily as you probably think. If it looks that way
from the outside, that’s only because you lack the data I have. You don’t see the failures, the false
starts, the wasted time, or the awkward conversations with the Dean. (These are ubiquitous, by the
way, just not well written up in the literature.) And opposite the Scylla of the ‘exit academia’ arrows
has always lurked the Charybdis of my own demoralization: walking away from the game even if the
game does not eject me. I gave up completely once, for several years, then eventually clawed my way
back in; a second time I partly gave up but left myself attached by a lifeline, a lifeline I duly climbed up
within a year or so; and probably two or three more times over the years I reached the point of starting
to make other plans. Periodic demoralization and depression are not rare amongst researchers. It’s
not not caring any more, or not being able to be bothered, as depression is often and erroneously
characterized. It is caring so much, being so bothered, that one cannot advance on any front. One
drowns in one’s own disorganized and gradually souring passion. This feeling is probably near-
ubiquitous too.
