New vacancy: PhD Researcher in Bioinformatics: Investigating protein evolution using machine learning dlvr.it/SsKmF6

Our lab's first preprint is up! We identify a trojan horse RNA virus, A. odysseus, hiding in the human-infecting parasite, T. gondii. A crazy story; this virus could explain why the 1994 Victoria, BC toxoplasmosis outbreak was so hypervirulent. 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 👈

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being. New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied. Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.
