Former #ListerFellow Simon Draper's lab identified the conserved RH5 antigen of the malaria parasite just before Christmas 2010. Last year saw safety and efficacy results of the RH5.1/Matrix-M vaccine 🦟

A long road? This and other tales in our annual report.

Enjoying House of Guinness on @netflixuk.bsky.social?

Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, gave 250k in the 1890s to help the Lister get established and grow.

"Memory is the diary we all carry about with us," said Oscar Wilde.

Now, #ListerFellow @tjryan.bsky.social et al. peak into that hidden world. Novel engram labeling + cryoEM and cryoET "visualize the... 3D macromolecular architecture of engram synapses." Beautiful!

We ❤️ this study from former #ListerFellow Tom Baden et al. ⏬

"Colour" circuits in fish eyes maybe evolved to "hide" the background - clever use of underwater spectral physics 🌈

Hints that mammalian loss of ancestral green/blue cones due to rapid terrestrialisation, not nocturnalisation?
