Congratulations Jess and Seb, hope baby is doing well

A great read Bill. Here in Australia many politicians also seem to think that sex is a simple binary thing that we biologists can readily define. Your numerous, well explained examples remind us how wrong headed that over-simplified conception of sex is.

I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to have a good chat Henrico - thought your research looked fascinating.

Was a pleasure to be involved. Very gratified to see the conference in such good hands for the future with you and @freddyfrischknecht.bsky.social as stewards of a proud and formidable legacy.

Is it only parasitologists that are happy to sit through a talk on maggots, then another on horseshit before an evening meal together? What other weirdos do this? Great to get together with the Melbourne folks @ Australian Society for Parasitology - thanks @lucashuggins.bsky.social for organising.

Applications now open for Churchill fellowships. Its a terrific scheme - particularly note the support for longer study travel by, for example, parasitologists and other biomedical scientists

As usual, some lovely microscopy from @benliffner.bsky.social, showing unprecedented detail of how Plasmodium sporozoites get made and how they work. #Lorneiandi @theviin.bsky.social

Excited about the upcoming immunology session at the Lorne Infection and Immunity meeting. Sometimes the air conditioning in the auditorium is quite strong so it pays to dress warmly @theviin.bsky.social
