Congratulations to Tom Deegan who receives the Colworth Medal in 2027! Pioneering work from the Deegan Lab has redefined our understanding of eukaryotic DNA replication and provided conceptual and technical frameworks that continue to drive new discoveries across molecular biology.
@currentbiology.bsky.social has done it again! What a great interview with one of my favorite scientists www.cell.com/current-biol.... Linda Wordeman @mtwonderland.bsky.social. She taught me everything I know about guinea pigs and a lot about mitosis too!
Our Spring meeting starts today in Glasgow! All the best to all those presenting @bspparasitology.bsky.social
I have officially started my new position as a Senior Research Scientist at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) 🇯🇵. My new research group will focus on the cell/molecular biology of parasitic Excavata & amoebae (incl. Trypanosoma, Naegleria, Acanthamoeba, & more) (1/3)
🆕T. brucei Kozak sequences are unusual, hard to detect, but important for translation regulation - Check out the work conceived💡, carried out🔬and written up ✍️ by Philip Stettler, with only a minor contributions from me and the Polacek group - CONGRATULATIONS🎉👏 academic.oup.com/nar/article-...
I was interviewed by @katiepickup.bsky.social recently for @dmmjournal.bsky.social. This has a little bit of my background, a little bit on science and mentoring, and a little bit (ok, more than a little bit) on funding in science.

Thank you so much to everyone who made it to #BSP2026 in beautiful, sunny Glasgow!!! (We asked the weather to behave while everyone was around)! The @bspparasitology.bsky.social 2027 meeting will be in Cardiff! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves! Like Glasgow, People Make #Parasitology! 🥳🧬🧫🔬

Interview with Linda Wordeman, who studies microtubule dynamics and cell division
at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Abstract. The Kozak consensus sequence around the AUG start codon of mRNAs allows efficient cytosolic translation initiation in eukaryotes. It has not yet
