New preprint to share! Incredible collab w/ Fei Chen’s lab: developed in vivo CRISPR screening platform for 🫁 epithelium, allowing single cell perturbation in post-flu repair. Take a peek to see what we found! Huge congrats to the leaders of this work @daisyah.bsky.social & @sundakao.bsky.social 🎉

Another fabulous pre-print from the McKinley lab!

🎉🎉🎉 Can’t wait to see the amazing science that is sure to come from the Sullivan lab!!!

So exciting to see this out!! More cool biology sure to come!! 🤩👀

Had a fantastic visit @roswellpark.bsky.social for the Post-Doctoral Symposium!! So many inspiring scientists doing cool work! Grateful for the invitation!

Can’t wait to read this!! Sure to be a fantastic resource! #InterferonPower

Exciting week! Congrats to @xuzhoulab.bsky.social, Ruslan Medzhitov, & coauthors on discovering a new mechanism to regulate inflammation!! 🎉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#WeekendRead! #InterferonsFriendsOrFoes?! @ruthfranklinlab.bsky.social, Medzhitov, Hoagland, Rodriguez-Morales &co show @science.org that macrophage-derived oncostatin M overcomes type I IFN detrimental responses during severe influenza lung infection by driving AT-II epithelial cell proliferation!

I’m so proud to have been able to contribute to this story! Check it out for a cool tale about tissue repair under inflammatory conditions! Congrats @daisyah.bsky.social and @ruthfranklinlab.bsky.social on putting out the lab’s first paper 🫁🐁🦠 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🎉 Over the moon to share the first paper from my lab!! We discovered an unexpected role for the cytokine OSM in lung epithelial homeostasis and repair. 🧵 1/n www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Was so much fun to catch up with some of my IMP family!!

Today was a happy day!! Very proud of Dr. Rodríguez-Morales and very proud to be a professor at Harvard!!

🚨 Action alert: Two days left!! Help protect NSF/NIH from political interference. 👎 A new rule (Sched. F) would allow for replacing career program officers with political appointees. ➡️ Action: Object here by THIS FRIDAY. Comments can be brief and/or anonymous. Helps future litigation.

On a day when all research grants at Harvard were terminated, and in a context where Congress seems to broadly accept the notion that destroying science and health research in the US is fine, it’s worth noting that this is not what the public wants.

Just said goodbye to my NIH MIRA award. Really hurts to see the word “terminated” in writing. Even worse to see it next to the F31 awarded to a fantastic PhD student in my lab @aybv.bsky.social. I REFUSE to let this stop us!!!

Our paper was accepted!!!!!! 🎉🥳 I can’t wait to share it with you all soon!!!

Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere. It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @aspeninstitute.bsky.social

The first student from my lab defended her thesis today!!! Huge congratulations to Patricia Rodríguez-Morales, PhD!!!!! 🎉

Hey #immunosky Looking at the AAI website for advocacy website I found this very easy letter you can send to your congressional reps by filling in your information. It's easily modifiable for non-immunologists 🧪 every small action matters www.aai.org/Public-Affai...

Excited to share the work of Jonathan Perr where he uncovered a surprisingly common feature of cell surfaces - the presentation and clustering of RNA binding proteins with #glycoRNA. Critically support by #NIH @cp-cell.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

What a fantastic idea!!

Today I did the same! First post on Facebook in years to share what we will lose and why everyone should care!

In honor of International Day of Women & Girls in Science, call your reps & remind them the importance of scientific research, innovation, and education (cuts & freezes affect everyone, not just scientists and universities!) Research=lifesaving treatments, medical care, clinical trials, jobs & more!
