Only hours remain in the quarterfinals of the #STATMadness tournament of science, and our team of #microbiology #fungal scientists needs your support.

Their research on Candida auris could save lives. Isn't that worth your vote?

Vote for them here: statnews.com/feature/stat-m…

The amount of work here is massive, yet was so easy to read! Congrats to all the authors (the ones in 'X' Jonathan Molina Marissa Andersen Ana Flores-Mireles) 'Fibrinolytic-deficiencies predispose hosts to septicemia from a catheter-associated UTI' nature.com/articles/s4146…

Now, this is what #STATMadness is all about!
We love to see it, UMich.
Now, I wonder if your competitor Stanford University ( Stanford UniversityMed ) made a video explainer like this? 🤔

There are just eight teams left competing to be crowned champion in our #STATMadness tournament!

The matchups are:
New York University vs. ISB
BCMHouston vs. UC Irvine
Michigan Medicine vs. Stanford University
Wyss Institute vs. UC Santa Cruz

Vote now: trib.al/lYzPqiW

Sure, the @umich women's basketball team's #MarchMadness run has ended, but a woman-led #umich science team is still fighting to win the #STATMadness tournament of science! Vote for them now through Wednesday night! statnews.com/feature/stat-m…

Taking postdoc applications till the end of March.
One week left to submit.

Please RT!

This team's #basicresearch on deadly #fungal infections could save lives.

But right now, Dr. Teresa O'Meara and her Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI colleagues have a short-term goal: Win the #STATMadness tournament of science.

You can help! Vote for them here: statnews.com/feature/stat-m… #goblue

Dear #fungal peeps! Dr. Teresa O'Meara's team made it to the Elite Eight of #STATMadness . Please vote for her team in matchup 3 here: statnews.com/feature/stat-m…. Awesome way to raise awareness of these infections. Lets ride the #thinkfungus wave and get to the Final Four!

Let's keep it going!! Vote in #statmadness for our study on how Candida auris sticks and persists like a barnacle! statnews.com/feature/stat-m… University of Michigan University of MichiganResearch Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI #umich

4 were selected.

1 remains.

We're so proud of the three teams selected for #STATMadness from U-M IHPI U-M Rogel Cancer Center & U-M Health Frankel CVC. Thanks for all who voted for them!

Now, we hope every #umich fan will vote for the Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI paper that's still in it! statnews.com/feature/stat-m…

#fungal24 was an amazing conference. It was so good to see the new advances in fungal genetics and meet with old and new friends. This is the community I want to be in.
(and if you want to vote for fungi in #Statmadness , we are matchup 6 statnews.com/feature/stat-m…)

Only 16 teams remain in #STATMadness , and 3 of them are from @umich!

Vote now to keep them in the running, and to shine a spotlight on their discoveries about #braincancer , deadly fungal infections & #dementia : statnews.com/feature/stat-m… Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI U-M Rogel Cancer Center U-M IHPI

Dear #fungal peeps! Dr. Teresa O'Meara's team made it to round 3 of #STATMadness . Please vote for her team in matchup 6 here: app.votion.co/bracket/5140f5…. Lets bring the fungus to the Final Four!

Candida auris thrives in hospital settings where it can cling to just about any surface.

@Teresa_OMeara and her team Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI discovered a new protein that is responsible for this persistent pathogen's sticky superpower.

we made it to round 2 of #STATmadness ! vote in match 11 to support fun fungi

Multiple simultaneous emergences of C. auris means multiple genetic backgrounds and phenotypes -- here is our review on some of that important strain variation! journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Congratulations to all our researchers who made it into the fun, virtual tournament of science called #STATMadness !
