🗓Full list of invited speakers for the 2027 GRC Immunology of Fungal Infections is now online. 🍄Check out the fantastic line-up and get your application in early - this meeting is typically oversubscribed! Lots of opportunities for talks from the abstracts www.grc.org/immunology-o...

🚨10 days left to submit your abstract to @irishfungalsoc.bsky.social annual meeting - I'll be there to present our latest work in June. Hope to see you there! 🍄 irishfungalsociety.org/abstract/

I had the chance to chat with Alisha Wainwright on When Science Finds a Way, a podcast by @wellcometrust.bsky.social, all about the weird world of fungal brain infections. Listen/watch wherever you get your podcasts! lnk.to/eUFN68 #immunosky 🧪🍄

Latest data from the lab out now in mBio. We show the antibiotic vancomycin directly impairs antifungal function of macrophages via mitochondrial dysfunction. Lots of beautiful imaging in this one! Check it out here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... #immunosky #microsky 🧪 🍄

Some great science presented at #EMBOinnatesignaling26 ! Learned a lot at the conference and in the beautiful Naturalis Museum it was hosted in. Highly recommend going to conferences in Leiden NL!

Interesting event combining art and science about mind control and fungal infections at the @rgib.org in May. I'll be taking part on Saturday 9th May. Hope to see you there! www.rigb.org/whats-on/zom... #immunosky 🧪🍄

Outbreak confirmed as MenB. Vaccines against MenB were only rolled out to babies in 2015 so current student generation are not vaccinated. Know the symptoms and get help quickly if you suspect #meningitis. Acting FAST saves lives. More info in link below 👇
