Reminder applications for the 2021 MOMY course @MBLScience are due April 15th ! We have a great course lined up! For application and more information: mbl.edu/education/cour…

How much do we know about fungal pathogenesis and virulence? There is much to learn! Fun to think and write about this with my former student @caitlinkowa mbio.asm.org/content/12/1/e…

Some fun news to share! I was just named Editor and Chief of JB. I published my first paper there and hope to publish many more! My friend and fellow former Kolter post-doc Gemma Reguera will be the next EiC of AEM. Society journals rule!

We are hiring! The Shlezinger Lab is recruiting a Ph.D. student for clinical research. The project focuses on antimicrobial immunity in patients with genetic disorders. In collaboration with Sheba medical center.
Please send cv to neta.shlezinger1@mail.huji.ac.il

Latest from our lab :-) Strain specific persistence in the murine lung of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia causes an Allergic Broncho-Pulmonary Aspergillosis-like disease phenotype biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It looks good for Biden now but my sources are telling me that the Republicans possess a Horn of Plenty card which, if used for wood and brick, would allow them to pick up Longest Road and two additional victory points

Cool article describing a CRISPR-Cas9–based screening targeting over 98% of the protein-coding genes in Cryptococcus neoformans

Great pair of talks today by @theRAD__lab and @ACasadevall1 to kick of the #mycotalks seminar series hosted by the @MRCcmm. Nice to hear some great ongoing #mycology research.

I am humbled and honored to be a @MSAFungi MSA fellow. Thank you nominators, mentors, friends, & lab members who have taught and supported my over the years including @mycotajohn. Lucky to be in a class w/ the great fungal biologists and mycologists @mcmomany & Else Vellinga!

MYCO-TALKS:
The MRC CMM would like to invite you to join us at the monthly Myco-talks where experts in Medical Mycology and related fields will be presenting their latest research.

Last Thursday of each month at 4pm (UK) | 8am West Coast | 12pm East Coast

Ok so fungi infect billions of people worldwide & kill 1.5 million people annually - more than breast cancer & malaria, similar to TB & HIV - yet from 1997 to 2010 medical #mycology received just 2% of the £2.6 billion the UK spent on #InfectiousDiseases research? Wow.🤔[1/2]

My friend Dr. Marhiah Montoya recently joined this program, I second the recommendation!

Excited to give a talk about microbial interactions in cheese rinds this Thursday at 4pm EDT for the @NCStateAEC Fermentology Series cals.ncsu.edu/applied-ecolog….

Congrats!!!! @ErinGloag @gregbwhitfield Dallas Mould and @JenLovesBugs !!!

Looking forward to introducing Aspergillus biofilms today during the @Social_Biofilms !

Cool article on Ferroptosis in Magnaporthe"

Fungi may be the next big threat - fungal diseases pose a significant danger to humans by causing infections and threatening our global food supply.

Our fantastic Fungal Kingdom @CIFAR_News program team is working to identify and address these threats!
