🙏Many thanks to Jokin Castilla, @Ikerbasque
Professor at @cicbiogune.bsky.social for his insightful seminar 'A Noah’s ark approach to understand the molecular basis of prion diseases'!
A fascinating talk on such a complex topic 🧠

I sure hope #NIAID is right about this. #chronicwasting #priondiseases www.nih.gov/news-events/...
