Thanks to the Editors @aga-cmgh.bsky.social for providing me with a new opportunity and outlet to support the next generation in #GIresearch. As the editor for Training, Education and Mentoring (TEAM) section, we’ll focus on how to help our trainees succeed during these challenging times.

Excited to see new scientific leadership @apsphysiology.bsky.social and to work with our new CEO, Erika Shugart, to promote #physiology advocacy and funding!

Here’s a quick way to make sure that your elected representatives know to NOT to support multiyear NIH funding which will significantly reduce the number of new grants supported each year.

Did you have a delay in funding or other circumstances outside your control that made you miss the #APS2026 abstract deadline? If so, you can submit a late-breaking abstract now through Feb. 2. We want to see you in Minneapolis! https://ow.ly/B2UQ50XU79w#APS2026#WeArePhysiology #ProfDev 🧪

#gd2027 is in Wrocław, Poland. Is this a gd17 🦌vs gdIFN 🦏 matchup? #gdTcells @forum-gd.bsky.social @lydialynch.bsky.social @neilemccarthy.bsky.social @payalyokota.bsky.social @coffeltlab.bsky.social @ph-papotto.bsky.social @gold-efisch.bsky.social

Do you have exciting data to share but it wasn't in time for the #APS2026 abstract deadline (or you received a JIT and will have $$ to travel)? Late-breaking abstract submission is open through Feb 2. Accepted late-breaking abstracts will be scheduled for posters. See you in Minneapolis! #Gastrosky

We close out 2025 with a review by @ananya-p.bsky.social & @tingtingli1.bsky.social in @gutmicrobes.bsky.social discussing the influence of the #microbiota on #gdTcell compartments within the gut, since populations and function differ in the #epithelium and lamina propria. 1/n

Petition for a NY Biomedical Institute. This is a no-brainer to support science in NY, similar to programs in CA/TX. www.change.org/p/support-a-...

The next installment of #GTSRC will be in Snowbird! Come join us and bring your trainees for my favorite #GIresearch meeting 😍 #IBDsky #GIsky #Gastrosky

Did you know #physiology research made GLP-1 drugs possible? Decades before they were household names, scientists studying gut-brain signaling—and even Gila-monster venom—unlocked how the body regulates energy and appetite. 🧪 #FightForPhysiology #SciComm fightforphysiology.org

It’s a #gdTcell flavored #MucosalMonday! @saraalonsomera.bsky.social & I chat about the magic of our favorite cell type and our recent paper elucidating the role of the microbiota in driving gd IEL regulatory function on this month’s @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast. @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social

@repdangoldman.bsky.social, please draw attention to & speak up against political appointees in place of civil servants for #NIH Institute Directors. This is just the next tactic to prevent us from making advances and curing disease. #standupforscience

We’re welcoming Emma Andretta back to the magnificent world of #gdTcells! Before joining the Master’s program at Mount Sinai, she learned about the #bestimmunecellever with @boysonlab.bsky.social and then expanded to mucosal immunology at MSKCC in the Rudensky lab. Welcome Emma! 🤩

She’s got her white coat, so now @ananya-p.bsky.social is an official PhD student @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social ! That’s how that works, right? More #gdTcell magic to come! 😁
