🎮 Call for Researchers!
Jennifer Ann’s Group, an Atlanta-based nonprofit, is seeking collaborators for studies on how video games can PREVENT teen dating violence.

💜 Since 2006, we’ve used digital media to promote healthy relationships.
Now we’re looking to partner with researchers (students, faculty, or independent scholars) interested in trauma-informed, game-based, and prevention-focused research.

🧠 We do not have funding available at the moment, but would work with you to secure some. (We are US-based, looking to branch out internationally)

A synthetic peptide mimic kills Candida albicans and synergistically prevents infection - Nature Communications

Fungal infections are severely underestimated as a cause of mortality, and alternative drugs are urgently needed. Here, Schaefer et al. show that a synthetic polymer mimicking defensins shows different, but synergistic activity with known antifungals.
