It's a GRA12 world and we're just living in it! We performed CRISPR screens to identify conserved virulence factors across Toxoplasma clonal and atypical strains and the top hit is a͟l͟w͟a͟y͟s GRA12! and, for the first time, in all mouse subspecies!thread👇

I am big fan of @KesKeseno expanded microscopy and this picture is no exception 😍 absolutely stunning! Great images from the other participants too!
Ho-ho! 🎄 I won 1st place in the Festive Science Image Comp (w/ @MRC)! My Xmas card, featuring a Toxoplasma "tree," is now on sale. Big thanks to my brother for his creative touch! Learn more and order here: #ScienceArt #Christmas

I spent the last 2 days on @veupathdb and I am so so grateful it’s back online! A work that would have otherwise taken me uncountable days of work. Thank you new funders! Let’s protect our most precious databases!

I consider myself very lucky to have worked in IGC and experienced first hand its sense of community. Tomorrow it’s a new beginning for science in Lisbon!
Today, I reflect on the legacy of @IGCiencia over the last 60 years and what it has meant for research and the scientific community in Portugal and beyond. IGC was never just a place—it was a pioneering model. #IGCLegacyLivesOn 1/5
