Got my masters results and I’m so happy to have achieved not only a distinction but also the Imperial College London Sherwood prize for the highest overall grade 😃!!! So grateful to the wonderful #wildlife 🦇🐸 and the amazing people I worked with! 🙌🏼

I’m ecstatic to announce that our own Keely Rodriquez is a #NSFGRFP awardee. She will study how #amphibians recover from lethal disease (timely!). She will also help develop our program for #WomenInSTEM in Panama. Congrats to KMR! #chytridcrisis #voyleslab

Fighting #Aspergillus in @nature from Gordon Brown group at AberdeenFungalGroup gets the thumbs up 👍🏻 at journal club. Great paper!! Rhys Farrer @drswel Mat Fisher Chytrid Crisis

It turns out, having a strong adaptive immune response doesn't save host frogs from chytrid. In fact, successful hosts don't turn many genes on or off at all. Chytrid Crisis rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/5/2/17…

I was honored to give the Karling Lecture at @imc113 #imc11pr . Karling was a cofounder of the Mycological Society of America Mycological Society of America and wrote a monograph of 'Parasitism among the chytrids' in 1942. He was decades ahead of his time, I wonder if he ever suspected?Chytrid Crisis

Amphibian chytrid fungus in Africa – realigning hypotheses and the research paradigm

Our trusty Imperial College datalogger lives to collect another years data from Lac Arlet! In this Pyrenean lac dieoffs of Midwives toads from chytridiomycosis are linked to changes in seasonality imperial.ac.uk/news/175447/cl… Chytrid Crisis

A fantastic talk by Mat Fisher about the importance of microbes for conservation, focusing on #Bd , with some fabulous work by @simonohanlon101 and Kieran Bates. Well done Chytrid Crisis team! #ZSLtalks

Suspect same priorities and problems apply across many parasites - view from Jo James regarding fish parasites G. solaris and others #BSPaber2018 - what say you regarding surveillance of amphibs, Chytrid Crisis?

For everyone who followed mine and Phil's journey to Ecuador in search of the last Podocarpus harlequin frogs, our paper on disease reservoirs is now out 🎉🐸 Investigación en la PUCE Chytrid Crisis ZSL Science bit.ly/38IGcdx

Nary a frog too small or too large to swab for #chytrid . #CostaRica #chytrid crisis #amphibians #conservation . And with the most amazing scientists too boot: Laetitia Wilkins (Megaptera helvetiae)

Nice piece in PNASNews on the amphibian skin microbiome and #Chytridiomycosis the story so far... Chytrid Crisis

New research from ZSL Science, Chytrid Crisis & Fisher Lab, published in @sciencemagazine, suggests #chytrid fungus (Bd) originated in East Asia, and highlights the global #amphibian trade as the major cause of #pathogen spread worldwide. Learn more here zsl.org/science/news/g…

An 'amphibian plague' caused by a killer fungus has been wiping out #species around the world. But now a team led by researchers from Imperial College London have traced it's origins to East Asia imperial.ac.uk/news/186258/ge… #ChytridCrisis @sciencemagazine #chytrid
