A fairly new PhD student with a broader focus on all canine hookworms, but specifically the genomics and transcriptomics of Uncinaria stenocephala. U. stenocephala is frequently overlooked despite being ubiquitous in temperate regions!
This lace monitor was hit by a car and is settling in nicely! All animals regardless of how dangerous deserve respect, calm and appropriate care! #addHerper

The results of a study in Nature Chemistry represent a step towards more application-oriented research on solar fuels from fundamental studies of photoinduced (single) electron transfer. #chemsky 🧪
Photoinduced double charge accumulation in a molecular compound - Nature Chemistry
The photoinduced accumulation of redox equivalents is a challenging requirement for artificial photosynthesis. Now a molecule has been developed in which the sequential absorption of photons results in the temporary accumulation of two holes and two electrons. The employed strategy opens up new possibilities for charge accumulation under low photon densities.

The decline of vertebrate biodiversity has catastrophic knock-on effects for invertabrate parasite biodiversity. The population collapse and near extinction of the kākāpō parrot led to the extinction of most of their endoparasite taxa. Parasite extinctions are likely wildly underestimated. 🧪 #vetmed
Long-term parasite decline associated with near extinction and conservation of the critically endangered kākāpō parrot
Boast et al. analyze a unique fecal record of the endangered kākāpō parrot to reveal

🚨‼️ This paper has evidence of universal resistance in hookworms to benzimidazoles! We sequenced a gene causal to drug resistance in hookworms… including a never before sequenced hookworm of dogs! What does this mean? 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Characterisation of β-tubulin isotypes in Uncinaria stenocephala and implications for benzimidazole resistance in hookworms
Uncinaria stenocephala is a widespread hookworm of dogs across Europe, Canada, southern Australia, and other temperate regions, where it often outnumbers infections caused by Ancylostoma caninum . Alt...

We’re experiencing perhaps the worst flu season in 25 years, with severe cases also rising, and young children and seniors faring the worst. One in six of all ER visits in the 0-17 age groups are now for influenza.
