To my fellow mucosal immunologists (or those interested in joining the field): the Zhou lab at UMass Chan Medical School is looking for a postdoc! This is a fantastic opportunity to join the lab of an amazing junior PI. I would strongly recommend applying! careers-umms.icims.com/jobs/49293/p...

we are hiring! reach out to me for more info if you are interested! apply.interfolio.com/174605

The NIH wasn't confusing enough, they had to go and make it more confusing... what does no more pay lines even mean? grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

Open postdoc positions in my lab! Highly competitive salary/benefits and access to excellent resources! Come join the amazing scientific communities at @umasschan.bsky.social and @hhmi.org ! Located approx 1 hr west of Boston by car or train in beautiful Central Massachusetts :)

Congratulations to my amazing colleagues and collaborators 🎉

Thankful to live and work in a state that recognizes the value of research 👏

Extra kudos and thanks to all the staff at NIH and NSF and other federal funding agencies for working extra hard in very small windows of opportunity to get grants reviewed and funds released before the attention-addled federal policies change again (on an hourly basis).

Double congratulations for Shika!! Well deserved award 👏👏

Delighted to finally see this story out - Congratulations to Shika and the rest of the team! We helped show that gut T cells migrate to the mammary gland during late pregnancy and lactation to help turn it into a mucosal tissue. rdcu.be/eywRz

🎉 We’re launching BIOMS! The One Health Microbiome Center just received a $2.6M NIH T32 grant to train the next generation of microbiome scientists across human, environmental, and agricultural microbiome research. Full story 👉 shorturl.at/uKk0P

NIH moved up the expiration date for some funding opportunities, effectively *canceling* the next application date without removing it from the standard table. I can't even imagine how many people are still prepping these grants. 👀 List of impacted opportunities: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Our lab is excited to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the mechanisms that viruses use to ‘hijack’ TAM receptors in viral spread. We are looking for someone who is excited to learn new techniques and work in a highly collaborative team! Please share! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/298...

An exciting talk is waiting for you next Thursday 12pm EST. 🎙️ Speaker @mmr2.bsky.social will be taking about new roles of Treg in health and disease from the Diane Mathis & Christophe Benoist Lab @HarvardMed Registration👇 us02web.zoom.us/j/889479660. hms.harvard.edu/news/regulat...

On my way home from a fantastic meeting. Feeling re-energised, with new ideas and ready to keep fighting for science! Congratulations to all the awardees

Make sure you, your trainees, and anyone else who might listen to you understands what "indirects" actually are, how they are established, and what Universities contribute. H/T @rodallab.bsky.social Please share widely! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxTD...

A new issue of Cell is out, featuring the 4 winners of the Rising Black Scientists Awards. Their essays bring hope, inspiration and reinforce the importance of equity in science. Do take a moment to check them out: www.cell.com/cell/current @cp-cell.bsky.social

I have a wonderful scientist in my lab who is looking to move to Europe. Is anyone looking for a staff scientist? She has a PhD. She is particularly in her element doing field work. Great skills with rodents and very open to non-rodent positions as well. Please send leads, please amplify!

The Galvan-Pena lab is hiring a postdoc! If you know of any PhD students who will graduate soon or have recently graduated, and are interested in gut immunology and systemic effects of the microbiome - please send them my way!

New: Lee et al. @harvardmed.bsky.social provide a compendium of early transcriptional responses to major inflammatory #cytokines across all major immunocyte lineages of the mouse, highlighting unappreciated relationships btwn these cytokines and with other cytokine families https://buff.ly/4gn71Fg

1/ New in #ScienceImmunologyResearch! We explored how the brain maintains equilibrium with the immune system. Our focus? The key player in immune tolerance and tissue function regulation: regulatory T cells (Tregs). Let’s dive in! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @immunoeditor.bsky.social

Congrats to my friend and former colleague @mmr2.bsky.social on publishing his work on Tregs in the meninges.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
