WHAT AN AMAZING GROUP OF DISGUSTED PEOPLE! 😄 Thank you all for attending and for the fantastic talks and discussions throughout the conference! #DisgustAcrossBorders #ConferenceVibes #ScienceCommunity @iast.fr

🦠 Hi disgust nerds! Our 1st keynote at Disgust Across Borders is Caroline Amoroso (@cr-amo.bsky.social, Univ. of Virginia). She’ll dive into evolution & ecology of infection avoidance — how organisms detect, avoid, and resist pathogens. tinyurl.com/2tprm9cn 📍 Toulouse 🇫🇷 | Dec 4–5 👀 More 🔑🗒️ soon!

🚨 New Research: Host avoidance and resistance vary independently and are specific to parasite genotype ➡️ buff.ly/SdYvSsd "Hosts may defend themselves against parasites by avoiding contact or by mounting a resistance defense after contact. This study shows that..." 🦠

Our new paper "Host avoidance and resistance vary independently and are specific to parasite genotype" is out in Journal of Animal Ecology! @animalecology.bsky.social @akgibson.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

📅Let's meet on Dec 4 & 5 to ̶d̶i̶s̶g̶u̶s̶t̶ discuss about Disgust accross borders, a theme that's anything but tasteless ! 👃 As you'll see very soon, the program is still appetizing. ⬇️Interested in presenting? Subdmissions are now open!⬇️ @cmolho.bsky.social @csarabian.bsky.social @atognetti.bsky.social

📣 We are excited (or should we say disgusted?) to announce the conference 'Disgust across borders' at IAST! @iast.fr 🗓️ Join us on Dec 4 & 5 for two days full of disgust research across species and disciplines. Registration and abstract submission are open (until Aug 31): forms.gle/QBmkUB3aLDjY...

Hope this primer proves helpful to anybody interested in infection avoidance. It was certainly a pleasure to write with @akgibson.bsky.social and @pfvale.bsky.social l!

Current Biology@currentbiology.bsky.social · last yr.

In our latest issue, @cr-amo.bsky.social and colleagues explain how avoidance of pathogens and parasites is a common feature across the tree of life and discuss the conditions under which avoidance may evolve. www.cell.com/current-biol...

This primer on infection avoidance was incredibly fun to write with @cr-amo.bsky.social and Mandy Gibson. We cover its taxonomic breadth, mechanisms and evolution, and its importance across fields as diverse as public health, conservation, and agriculture. 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol... #SymbioSky
