Really proud to share the PhD thesis work of Rui Xiao. One day, while using long-read RNA-seq for annotation of the genome, he discovered polycistronic transcripts in Cryptosporidium parvum. Read all about it at: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

#crypto2024 I learned last night about the importance of the designation of a Neglected Tropical Disease and how this can aid drug development. @WHO has not (yet) designated Cryptosporidium as an NTD. Probably time to consider. who.int/health-topics/neglec…

In your career, the most valuable currency is not how much you know. It's how well you learn. In a stable world, success depended on building expertise. In a changing world, it hinges on evolving expertise. Potential is no longer defined by ability. It's a function of agility.
