And we have another open position, this time with a focus on Genome Biology! Join a great community in Vienna to bring your research to the next level!

Glad the government finally admitted it lied in my termination email.

Dr. McNutt offered a sobering yet inspiring perspective on the current landscape of science in America. While she did not shy away from the challenges we face, she also provided several thoughtful and actionable steps we can take to strengthen our nation’s scientific enterprise and global standing.

Congratulations to new Nobel Laureate and AAI Distinguished Fellow Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi for being awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell! Honored for his foundational discovery of regulatory T cells (Tregs). www.nobelprize.org

This is really reporting 'inside' the response to the devastating Mpox outbreak in Sierra Leone. Critical reading, as we are facing a future in which we will increasingly be confronted with emerging diseases, even preventable ones. www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Just to give the TL;DR on this one: *The* main purpose of the EO is to move funding priorities and decisions away from experts and career professionals over to political appointees. With the ultimate power held by Vought / OMB.

Claiming to have “listened to the experts” rings hollow when the leading voices behind mRNA research were dismissed, discredited, or outright ignored. That’s not science-based leadership — that’s selective hearing. www.hhs.gov/press-room/h...

Nominations are open for AAI Career Awards through September 10.

Increasing funding for NIH is a major step in the right direction!!!!!

Apply for up to $100K grant from @aai.org by August 28! AAI’s RESTORE Grants Program provides funding to conduct immunology focused research projects that were unexpectedly frozen/terminated by NIH or other federal government agencies due to non-scientific reasons. www.aai.org/Awards/resto...

Apply today to participate in the AAI Peer-Review Mentorship Program! This program is designed to provide mentorship from seasoned professionals to develop your skills as a peer reviewer of manuscripts submitted to AAI journals. Learn more: ow.ly/qLyn50WuPxA.

Straight talk from Dr. Francis Collins on the devastating - and politically motivated - cuts to science and public health in the United States. Anybody who cares about their health or the future or science, technology, and innovation in this country should watch this. www.cnn.com/2025/07/25/T...

🧵1/ New in @Cancer_Cell: Our lab discovered that Th17 cells must team up with B cells to eliminate tumors, and prevent it from coming back. 🔗 Read: www.cell.com/cancer-cell/... 🧬This unexpected immune duo sparks tumor immunity. 🖼️Image: See schematic Th17/B cell antitumor action!

Wow - an important component of a central human innate immune pathway was discovered based on homology to a bacterial anti-phage defense system A beautiful example showing how new knowledge on bacterial immunity translates to discoveries important for human health

This week I was terminated again from NIH. My original termination had been reversed due to a court order. I am thankful to report that my SF-50 stated that my reason for termination is a RIF rather than performance based.

🎉 The AAI Intro to Immunology Course at UCLA has officially begun! We are excited to welcome a diverse group of scientists, researchers, and students ready to expand their knowledge in this critical field. #ImmunologyCourse #FirstDay #ScienceEducation

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

In the US, it is rare to get a #vaccine with #thimerosal. It has been completely removed from childhood vaccines and few #flu vaccines include it. Numerous studies have shown that there is no link between thimerosal and #autism.
