Sunday, Oct 11: I'm running the Gaza 5K in Prospect Park to raise $1,000 for UNRWA mental health services in Gaza. Counselors there, many of them refugees themselves, help children cope with trauma. Please give what you can: getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/7... #Gaza5k

The 37th Molecular #Parasitology Meeting ( #MPMXXXVII) begins tomorrow! @parasitesrule.org The organizers' courageous work to provide virtual participation removes the obstacle of travel for #parasitologists around the world. Because why limit engagement of experts in this niche, neglected field?

The @veupathdb.org user comments campaign at #MPM2025 yielded 200 user comments from 66 attendees! Thanks, contributors 💐 For example: a comment on gene cgd5_3570 on CryptoDB pointed out that GGC proteins exhibit male-specific expression according to single-cell RNA seq. Good to know!

Two fantastic papers came out in Science identifying Plasmodium essential genes using piggyBac screens. Both datasets are available in PlasmoDB! 🔎 Look up the phenotype graphs of your favorite gene: plasmodb.org/plasmo/app/r... plasmodb.org/plasmo/app/r...
The image shows screenshots of 2 Plasmodium publications in the journal Science, and screenshots of the relevant datasets on PlasmoDB.org. A phenotype graph is also shown as an example.
