One for the Apicomplexa peeps:
ever wonder how does the IMC grow so fast during progeny formation? Where do all the lipids come from? In our latest work on malaria RBC stages we implicate this monster protein (~6000 residues!) and ER contact sites.
Happy+proud to share and keen to hear thoughts!
The UK is suffering a great loss of influence in the Global South, and other nations such as China and Russia are stepping into the vacuum. The government should not underestimate the value of 'soft power' for national security and influence.

By reducing the burden of disease and poverty in a nation, you are enabling more people to work and the local government to invest in other areas of their economy.

Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

If you can accept that it is impossible to fry anything with air, and think of it as a small oven that gets hot quickly, then you'll find it suddenly much more useful.

Could a new malaria jab really finish off the disease?
In @telegraphnews.bsky.social, Chris Drakeley comments on efficacy of first-generation #malaria vaccines as GSK say they want to develop a jab that's 3 times as effective by 2035. @lshtm-malaria.bsky.social
