IFT imaging in trypanosomes was made possible thanks to Spencer and his team who trained Johanna Buisson and many others, for example for FRAP development

🙅 No, autism is not caused by measles vaccine or paracetamol.
Autism has primarily genetic causes. 200+ genes identified since 2003.
Recent study (Nature, Oct 2025) shows genetic profiles differ by age at diagnosis.
Facts matter ↘️
