Congratulations Dr. Penna (aka Anna Penna)!!! It was a privilege to be your PhD advisor and I couldn't have hoped for a better first PhD student. The future of galago systematics is in great hands :) #proudadvisor

How long are you contagious with COVID-19? ➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days ➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset ➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever ➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness

Love to see more high-quality reference genomes of species generated within the country of origin, especially in countries like Madagascar that contain tremendous biodiversity

Excited to share the work from the first chapter of my dissertation! An incredible experience using Oxford Nanopore to sequence the 🧬 of the red-fronted lemur. So lucky to be able to work with great collaborators in the stunning southeastern rainforests of Madagascar at Centre ValBio.

First-ever reference genome for the endangered red-fronted brown lemur sequenced entirely in Madagascar. Boosting local genomic capabilities and highlighting the power of portable genomics for conservation! 🦥 #AnythingAnyoneAnywhere

Mouse lemur research 🔬🧬🍌 (The animals are only being handled by trained professionals.) Becca DeCamp and their team are studying male fertility related genes. Alina Sellien is studying mouse lemurs’ sense of smell in relation to fruit quality.

The New York Times estimate of how many people would die from USAID cuts *this year* is just staggering. Nearly two million from AIDS relief cuts, half a million from vaccine cuts and from food aid cuts each, 600,000 from of malaria and tuberculosis cuts. Genuinely monstrous

🤦🏽‍♀️ The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has now set its sights on cutting foreign subawards. 🚨 They issued a major update yesterday. 🚦Foreign sub-awards can no longer be included under parent NIH awards starting September 30, 2025. 🧵

Just so we're all clear on what's happening here, the US government is creating AI-generated propaganda posters inspired by a WEF Facebook Boomer conspiracy meme, to justify taking real food away from real starving children, who are really going to die as a result.
