I'm looking for RAs & scientists to help launch my lab @czbiohub! We discover and deploy zebrafish viruses to capture infection dialogs with visual and molecular precision. Join us in illuminating virus infection biology in toto. czbiohub.org/careers/ or contact me directly

I'm looking for postdocs and research associates with experience in zebrafish to join my group at the @czbiohub! We are building a team to combine m. bio, imaging, deep learning, and mathematical modeling to understand self-organization of tissues. DM or email me, and please RT!

I wish more people would get funding for/work on weird single celled eukaryotes. I bet there is a lot of amazing biochemistry to discover.

Hey MISTR - good can come from conflict - we used it to uncover new dimensions for #mitochondria. Thanks @PLOSBiology for investing in our work. Congrats to my stellar PhD student Mahsa. Seeded while PD w/@ElEarlyBird #genes #evo #viruses #miRs

Come for the virologists, stay for the thespians — our preprint is up on bioRxiv. Heroic effort by the team at UW-Madison and Roche. Check out the thread to see how the story plays out.@UWMadisonMMI @Morgridge_Inst @anthonygitter
New work led by @BakerVirusMaker: What happens when host cells dual purpose critical genes with cryptic antiviral function? Viruses are forced to “choose” between two bad options – suffer the antagonism or attack the essential gene and limit resources to make progeny. 👇🧵1/7

Good parenting in C. elegans: creative and exciting work from the lab of my former lab mate @Reinke_Science shows how parents transmit their experiences of a stressful and complex world to enhance immunity in their progeny, distinct from other intergenerational phenomena
Very excited to share the lab’s first preprint in a project led by @awillis_science and Winnie Zhao where we demonstrate that parental infection with microsporidia induces inherited immunity in the offspring of C. elegans! 1/15

Intriguing first glimpses of some flying host-virus wilderness inventively tamed in the laboratory
Super excited for the first installment of my dissertation story on a super cool partitivirus (galbut virus) infecting Drosophila. Flies not your style? Don’t worry we got some data on partitiviruses in mosquitoes too 😉 more of the story coming this summer!

My first first-author paper is finally out - in it we reconstructed ancient proteins to reveal how Hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood, evolved its complex structure and function more than 450 million years ago. News and views summary from Nature here: nature.com/articles/d4158….

If we can discover hidden virus infections by watching the zebrafish immune system, what else should we be watching?
