📣 Happy to share our review on host-microbiome genomics! We synthesize the growing field exploring interactions between human genetics and the microbiome, building a roadmap for mapping the dialogue between our genes and microbes Out now in Nature Reviews Genetics👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Who's taking a Post Graduate course today? So much science to be shared! #ATS2025 #RCMBatATS

Happy World #sarcoidosis day! Will you #saysarcoidosis with us? #raiseawareness #foracure #forourpatients

#WeekendRead! #NotOnlyInterferons! @nanyanlab.bsky.social &co show @cp-molecularcell.bsky.social that other than inducing pathogenic IFNs in lysosomal storage disorders, STING also play protective functions as a proton channel activating TFEB & inducing lysosomal repair www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

So excited that our study made the cover of Nature Genetics this month!

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."

My fellow made this teaching tool to teach our residents about choosing IV access and I am obsessed.

Sharing this official @atscommunity.bsky.social statement I was proud to be a part of. My takeaway: We need to standardize reporting and understand the impact of incidental findings in lung cancer screening. And also harness their findings for CVD prevention. www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/...

ICU ID - Pneumonia: Since we are still facing a tsunami of respiratory tract infections, it's a good idea to review the 2023 clinical practice recommendations for diagnosis, empirical treatment, & antibiotic therapy for severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP)

Hi #MedSky #ImpSci. I'm hiring a new staff scientist in my lab based in Seattle. We do #healthequity research in tobacco cessation, lung cancer and lung cancer screening. Please share with your networks and reach out directly if interested! careers-fhcrc.icims.com/jobs/29239/j...

After 7 years of work and 1.5 years winding its way through publication, the paper I’ve wanted to share with you all for so long is finally out in @microbiomej.bsky.social microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... #neosky #medsky #scisky #microbiome #fungi #mycobiome #newPI #science

Spatial multi-omics has just gone to the next level! www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... —Integration of 5 omic modalities w/ spatial resolution at 20 -50 μm —"a new era for characterizing tissue & cellular heterogeneity that single-modality studies alone could not reveal"

An immunome in 550 older adults and young adult controls demonstrated age-related changes at high-resolution along with some unique immune signatures www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...

wow I’ve always wondered about this and never got a good explaination. #EMIMCC

Not a lot of surprises in this study but nice to see the data! 60% weaned off and 63% of those survived. Cardiac arrest before VA-ECMO associated with failure to wean, lactate clearance within 24 hours associated with success and CRRT & bleeding associated with death.

Anyway, betwixt everything, here is a really cool discovery that could potentially really help in the treatment of cancer in the future: Tumors prevent effective immune responses from T cells by transferring their mitochondria (which have mutations) and having those replace...

In a cohort of over 146,000 veterans RSV vaccine effectiveness was estimated at 78·7% (72·2–84·8) against RSV-associated emergency department or urgent care encounters, and 80·3% (65·8–90·1) against RSV-associated hospitalisation. The #vaccines work.🧪#IDSky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

We’re all in the bad place but my collaboration with NIH/NCI researchers has been published.

Whew. I made it. Blue skies above. Now how to find my peeps? Any advice for an efficient way to build up this network?

Want to automate Streptomyces conjugation but don't have the money for fancy robotics? No problem. Our PhD student, Tenna, has created an open source robotics protocol for the extremely affordable OT-2. This is just the beginning! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #microbiology #microsky 🔬🦠🧪

A newly developed phosphorescent organic molecule sped up light emission by 1,000 times, pointing towards use in display screens like OLEDs🧪 Adding to the intrigue, the material seemed to break a quantum rule - the Pauli Exclusion Principle 🤯 Read more here: news.engin.umich.edu/2024/12/fast...

End of year lab trip… time to teach some grad students form south and Central America how to ice skate. Took the entire team. Experienced skaters teamed up with those who’d never seen a rink. What a blast! 🧪 #academicsky #womeninstem

I just want to say that while the discovery queue on the whole sucks - #slothrust was an amazing find

Great find. Hopefully some data comes out of studies utilizing these mice that helps with COVID in high-risk populations and with future pandemics. 🧪🥽 www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

I have a few brief thoughts on this just released Science paper on the adaptation potential of bovine #H5N1 HA. Its very good work by very good group at Scripps! Think people need to be cautious in assessing the actualized risk out of this one study. #influenza www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Pediatric subspecialty fellowship match data is concerning. #PedsPulm only filled 48% of available positions. We have had a 25% drop in applicants since 2021. How are we going to care for children with breathing disorders in the coming years? @atscommunity.bsky.social
