Thrilled our work on the interaction between a keto diet & antifungal efficacy has been published! Huge shoutout to my co-author Blake Sells for this brilliant idea and to the rest of the team who made it come to fruition-so excited to see what comes next journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

So exciting to see my first, first author paper published in mBio! Congratulations to cofirst author Julia Palmucci and the Perfect Lab Duke Infectious Diseases who made this work possible! We found a ketogenic diet could enhance anti-fungal therapy #IDTwitter journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Excited to have my review on the interplay between targeted cancer therapeutics and invasive fungal infections published today!

Thanks PLOS Pathogens for this opportunity to discuss a fascinating and highly pertinent topic!

My lab hosted a full blown tea party for my birthday and I cannot describe how grateful and lucky I am to have found this community. These kind and generous and patient and supportive people are the reason I’m still in grad school, and I’ll never take that for granted!

Duke friends! Show up for democracy! Even if you’ve voted already, come hangout 🤠

Early voting has begun! 🎉

Come out to Karsh Alumni Center this Friday, Oct 28, from 4 to 7pm to grab some pizza, hangout, and vote early!

💥Major preclinical study in #Cryptococcal meningitis therapy💥

#APX2039 , an oral gepix Gwt1 inhibitor, rapidly sterilized #Cryptococcus in CSF & brain tissue (MUCH better than Amphotericin B or azoles) in 🐇 🐁 models of CM

Super excited to see our paper was published today on one of the most promising antifungals in development!

So many long hrs went into this, but goodness the results are worth it!

OMG members of the group are called SPAcE cadets 👏👏👏

The US Supreme Court is ignoring science by overturning #RoeVWade , writes Diana Foster in a recent #ScienceEditorial : '[The Justices will] be disregarding ample evidence of abortion’s positive impact on patients’ health and well-being.' fcld.ly/kqv5zaq

Major congrats to my amazingly intelligent and hardworking friend Cait E Hamele, PhD!! Already feel safer with you doing great work like this in the public sector!

Interested in science policy, advocacy, or ethics? SPAcE is the place for you! We are a Duke grad/prof group focusing on education and career development in these areas. If you would like to give input/stay in the loop, fill out this interest survey - bit.ly/3b6czYL

I truly love all the nonsense right-wing bots being like “that professor is so great! I wish him the best! What a star!!” when they have not interacted with or known anyone to interact with him. The firsthand stories speak for themselves. It’s laughable at this point.

Deeply ironic how on the same day NC unveiled their Parents Bill of Rights (aka their take on the dont say gay bill) a tenured prof decided to let my dept know that training on treating people w/human decency is oppressive
People are so skewed about who holds actual power.

.Joe Trimarco and I would like the world to know that DukeMGM is not only home to premier science, but the area’s most premier Q*bert players

A very fun end to a great department mini retreat!

Huge congratulations to the brilliant Dr. Telzrow! Could not imagine going to anyone else for guidance and the occasional true crime chat

An absolutely tremendous loss. The only blip of hope is that the news compels another person to pick up one of his books

Thank you for this opportunity! Very excited to continue this supported work investigating diet modulation and antifungal effectiveness

I thought I was the worst person in the world when it came to avoiding emails until I had to start regularly emailing people …wow oh wow turns out I’m not that bad after all

The insta account so.informed made an inaccurate post about lab animals in biomed research, deleted it, & has blocked people (scientists) who explain their info was wrong.

Fighting misinformation must extend to the stuff u dont agree with or else ur as bad as fake news peddlers
