It was a pleasure to write this piece based on the cool original paper by the Moran Lab www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hope you enjoy the read!

Its NOA day! Delighted to receive this award with @chrmosimann.bsky.social to keep investigating how African lungfish physiologically remodel their skin during water-land-water transitions. ❤️ these beautiful fish, and my job and my lab!

The genome of the iconic and super endangered Gila trout was just sequenced by us and now published for anyone interested. Congratulations Megan! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Tapping the sign: We will have prizes for presentations, posters and a CoB-sponsored prize for the "From PI to Postdoc" session. If you're a postdoc and want people to know about your story, apply! 🧪 (And get some €€ now that you're at it)

To all the mother PIs whose child will always get sick just before grant deadlines, paper resubmission deadline and final exams, SOLIDARITY. And lots of coffee

Abstract submission deadline extended to May 30th! If you're a postdoc in the job market, in or out of Germany, but want everyone to know about what you've done and are scheming to do, come to Heidelberg! 🐟🧪

technical question: we have ordered a company to synthesize a peptide from a viral protein and do KLH conjugation to immunize animals. Neither us nor the company can dissolve the lyophilized pellet. I thought it was us but they have the same problem. They are suggesting we immunize animals anyway

How do chronic viral infections shape gill immunity in fish? Here are out findings led by PhD student in the lab, Ximena Amortegui using naturally infected trout with an emerging pathogen pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41819394/

Excited to share our latest work on trout vaccine and the super cool findings that PhD student in the lab,.Ali, found, especially regarding ontogeny of the mucosal immune system www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/208886/...

Rhinoviruses cause common cold & asthma attacks but are also often benign. Using nasal organoids, we learned how the community of cells in the lining the nasal passages coordinates to respond to rhinovirus and which responses lead to excess mucus & inflammation. www.cell.com/cell-press-b...

My awesome Drosophila colleague Akhila Rajan at Fred Hutch (Seattle) is recruiting both a staff scientist and a postdoc to study fat–brain communication, innate immunity, mitochondrial signaling, and brain senescence. Great team, great environment. Apply here: careers-fhcrc.icims.com/jobs/30062/j...

our latest neuroimmunology paper is out and we love it! if you want to learn more about regional immunity in the trout brain check it out www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Missing my Karolinska times so much! thank you, Eduardo!

#zebrafish genome update, our T2T assembly of the inbred strain of AB (M-AB) generated by my buddy Nori Sakai has now been released at NCBI and will be a second reference genome for zebrafish (GRCz12ab):

Saturday night PI life

Please DO NOT USE AI to make this kind of terrible "diagrams" (whatever this is) to showcase our work. What are the pink and purple things? And what is "secrentry"? Trying to contact Scienmag.com @science.org but there is not name written in this article. scienmag.com/secretory-ig...

Our latest paper is now out. A long standing collaboration with the Sunyer lab where our teams show the requirement for secretory IgM in the gut mucosa to control microbiota homeostasis and metabolism. Enjoy! #sIgM #mucosalimmunology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Magnifique!

Check out this new & exciting #postdoc program from Max Planck Society 🤩 - My lab is thrilled to move to MPI MB in Muenster - positions available in #chromatin #mechanobiology #cancer #stemcells #transcription join us!

Thank you to @espinlab.bsky.social for hosting me yesterday. So lovely to meet you and all your colleagues @mauramcgrail.bsky.social et al and hearing about the stunning science you all do at Iowa State. Zebrafish hematopoiesis is fascinating;

One of the amazing things about science is we will never run out of mysteries. Take "Naturwissenschaften (2003) 90:495–500", which performed a survey of 10,000 dinosaur fossils for evidence of tumors in the bone. I was prepared for yes, no, but what I wasn't prepared for was: "only in hadrosaurs."

3 (of 150) bovine vets had serologic evidence of H5N1 despite: 1) no known exposure to infected animals; 2) no respiratory symptoms. Clearly there is a broad spectrum of clinical disease, and not all H5N1 is "highly pathogenic". (p.s. good to have mmwr back!) www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...
