Infected With the Academic Bug It starts innocently. A paper you’re proud of, the thrill of seeing your name on PubMed. Everyone is genuinely happy for you; you’re a threat to no one. Bu

Well, this is a brilliant #IDSky article that cuts close to the bone! 😬

Reframes #academia as an infection for which the causative organism may be less easy to define, but that can be just as insidious on affected individuals (clinical academics)!

Zebrafish aren’t just fascinating to watch — they can regenerate parts of their heart, fins, spinal cord, and even retina! 🐟✨
This makes them one of the most powerful model organisms for studying regeneration and human diseases 🧬🔬.

Early downregulation of HC-specific genes in the vestibular sensory epithelium during chronic ototoxicity Exposure of mammals to ototoxic compounds causes hair cell (HC) loss in the vestibular sensory epithelia of the inner ear. In chronic exposure models, this loss often occurs by extrusion of the HC fro...

New preprint out from our lab!
Great effort from the four first authors, all of them talented PhD students.

Meta brought AI to rural Colombia. Now students are failing exams When Meta embedded AI bots in its apps, even students in the most remote corners of Colombia gained access. But rather than boosting learning, it’s getting in the way.
