Last week I attended my first #EMBO #ParaFrap Host-Parasite Interaction meeting in Les Embiez 🇫🇷

I had an amazing time packed with great science and people 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Thank you to the organizers for the chance to talk about my work on Perkinsus 🦠🦪 and thank you to everyone for the support and kind words! 🥹

Had an incredible time at the MPM 🇺🇸! It was an honor to talk about my work on Perkinsus, especially at the Marine Biological Laboratory, a perfect venue for a marine parasite 🌊🦠 So great to see such a diverse range of parasites and topics this year! Thanks to everyone for the fantastic discussions!

It's transfection time for Perkinsus marinus and chesapeaki ⚡🦠🧬⚡ Hoping to have some fluorescent parasites in the coming days 🔬 So exciting!! #ProtistOnSky

I haven't observed enough cells to confidently conclude about synchronicity just yet 😅. Here's a video of a sporangium where the first division appears asymmetrical. I'm unsure if this is physiological tho... It might just be cell division going wrong !

Discover the wonders of 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘴 🤩 This parasitic protist undergoes rapid #CellDivision : from a single sporangium to hundreds of motile zoospores. A stunning glimpse into the speed and precision of microbial life! 🌊🔬 Stay tuned for more 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘴 insights! #CellBiology #ProtistsOnSky
