Congrats on this being out, Joshua!! Fantastic to see it accompanied by your commitment to share tools with the community. Lovely work!

Very nice indeed!

...and how Candida albicans’ cell wall shapes antifungal immunity. Plus: copper’s role in biofilms & the impact of antifungal drugs on resistance 🛡️

Thanks to @microbiologysociety.org for a great meeting. It's great to be part of a vibrant community pushing boundaries in medical mycology!

It was a privilege to give a talk yesterday in the polymicrobial interactions & pathogenesis session about my work on the role of copper in Candida - bacterial interactions #Candida2025 @mrccmm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org thanks to the wonderful @rosannesprute.bsky.social for the picture

Fantastic start to day 2 with Arnab Pardhan discussing work from the group looking at niche-simulating media and the impact on PAMP exposure #Candida2025 @mrccmm.bsky.social

Last @mrccmm.bsky.social talk of the day from talented PhD candidate @harry-osborne.bsky.social about how cell wall targeting antifungals impact immune recognition to C. albicans.

Also kudos for sharing all his data via GitHub QR code during his talk #openscience

Next, my colleague Hugh Gifford is sharing his work on developing a human body temp fish model for Candida infection work, which led to his discovery of the role xenosiderophores play in C. auris - host interactions #Candida2025 @mrccmm.bsky.social

I have to dispute the shit at knitting claim on the basis that Mara and I still wear our scarves 😊

We’ll find each other at a conference soon enough!! All well here. Hope same for you.

Fantastic news - Congrats Rebecca & lucky Pittsburgh!!
