Cue joke about C. auris showing skin. We've been thinking about chitins as delivery biomaterials but there's more than one type!

@mads100tist.bsky.social @zebrafishrock.bsky.social: Who's volunteering to log back into to the twitter account to Chuck Norris up the zebrafish factoids?

The headlines are still covering the cyclosporiasis outbreak from lettuce, but let's talk about a different summer, long ago. The headlines in Bavaria would have called it "summer diarrhea" & it was killing babies. Enter our hero, Professor Theodor Escherich of the Julius Hospital, Würzburg.

Almost 20 years after my first in vivo live imaging infection it infuriates me when graduate students blindly recite the dogma of intravellular v extracellular infections. Nice summary countering the dogma around two of the (worst?) examples I hear about

In keeping with ZII8 tradition, ZII9 will feature a plenary by some yobbo from the west of a Southern Hemisphere city (this guy!)

Congrats to the 5 winners of @biologyopen.bsky.social Global South travel grants #EZM2026 was an honor to meet & learn about your science

"never stopping to ask yourself whether a machine that was trained on failed drugs (most drugs are failed drugs) might have a tendency to generate more of them" 😂

Excited to share this work out as a preprint! We found that E. faecalis biofilms suppress neutrophil effector functions through two complementary mechanisms: extracellular acidification that dampens ATP and NADPH production and a bacterial density-dependent inhibitory effect.

Cool new tool from Keir Balla Lab @czbiohub.bsky.social 🐟🧬 Give it a try: portal.rnaquarium.org
