Great list @ebony-monson.bsky.social 👌

Feels good connecting with scientists again during #lorneiandi
I've made a starter pack for Aussie virologists joining Bluesky at #AVS12. Let me know if you would like to be added- please share 🤗

Session 11 at #lorneiandi featured invited speaker A/Prof Suzanne Noble MD PhD, from @ucsfhealth.bsky.social , who unpacked how Candida auris taps into IFN-γ to colonize mammalian skin. What tricks does this fungal pathogen use to thrive on its host?
February 21, 2025 at 12:59 AM
Our first session of Day 3 at #lorneiandi this morning dove into the fascinating world of Host-Pathogen Interactions! Get ready to explore how microbes and hosts battle it out, featuring insights from top researchers —science at its finest!
February 21, 2025 at 12:51 AM
Can good gut bacteria clear Candida from the gut and prevent life-threatening invasive fungal infections?

Exciting work by Bianca Briscas from @unsw.bsky.social #lorneiandi
February 21, 2025 at 12:48 AM
To kick off our last (but certainly not least) session on Global Health, COVID-19 and Emerging Infectiouse Disease we have Brittany Hill from The University of Queensland speaking about how antibodies from VITT patients induce a prothrombotic endothelial cell phenotype. Don't miss it! #lorneiandi

Thank you @theviin.bsky.social for the opportunity to present! Great to be back at #lorneiandi
Rounding out session 7 is Remy Young from @hudsonresearch.bsky.social who tells us about how bacteria can modify dietary phenolic compounds and the effects this has on the gastrointestinal microbiome #LorneIandI
