We have identified several antigens that can be used for the development of anti-tick vaccines targeting tick extracellular vesicles.

Like the Pasteur institute, we will be moving to a less polarizing and controversial platform.
You can find us at bluesky
bsky.app/profile/chaveztickl…
I will temporarily leave this open for about a month and then make a complete move.
Thanks to all of those that have follow us!

The Institut Pasteur is leaving X.
Due to serious issues observed since its acquisition by Elon Musk, the Institut Pasteur is suspending its activities on this platform starting today and invites its followers to join on other platforms. ➡️ linktr.ee/institutpasteur

Not surprised. There is a need to bring opportunities to all. Not just those that have the money... how many talented scientist have we lost because of income and background? :(

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
