Give this month’s Mucosal Immunology podcast a listen! I had a blast chatting with @chrysothemisbrown.bsky.social and @cathynagler.bsky.social about food allergy and tolerance. Also I chat with Ian Lewkowich about the #AIC2025 conference, and Ashley Moseman about nasal epithelium.

It’s #MucosalMonday and time for the latest @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast episode! This episode features gamma delta T cell work in MI from @edelblumlab.bsky.social; and an interview with @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social on microbial dysbiosis during #MutlipleSchlerosis

At the microbiome session for #AIC2025, leaning some great mucosal immunology!

Immune Booster 17: From unvaccinated to vaccine advocacy with Liz Marnik👇👇👇

When I was at NIH and shutdowns loomed, it was discovered that the administration was planning to shut down PubMed. The head of NCBI called the powers that be and pointed out that this would threaten patient safety Who knows what will happen now Just in case, remember Euruope-PMC (europepmc.org )

It’s #MucosalMonday and time for a new podcast episode! This month, @lakmalisilva.bsky.social discusses the oral mucosa with @marionbrunck.bsky.social. Plus medical mysteries with @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social and how RSV can impact the microbiota with @kknoop.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/269-...

✨September Issue✨| More than a leaky gut: how gut priming shapes arthritis The authors discuss how gut alterations are linked to the development of arthritis and challenge the concept of the ‘leaky gut’ hypothesis @kristikuhn.bsky.social @kknoop.bsky.social bit.ly/468w78U #Rheumsky #Medsky

⏰ Timing is everything 🦠 as you will appreciate listening in! 🤓Keep abreast of the literature as @kknoop.bsky.social gives a round up summary of the review that inspired the latest @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social cover and guess the disease/pathogen with @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social ‘s Med Mystery 🎧

Time for the August episode of the #MucosalMonday MI Podcast featuring a discussion with @michael-silverman.bsky.social, @marionbrunck.bsky.social, and Agnes Garcias Lopez; Medical mystery from @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social; and MI research with @kknoop.bsky.social open.spotify.com/show/0Q4Ve1x...

Out today! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... From @kknoop.bsky.social & myself on early life immune development & the beautiful publication from Megan Koch & M Shenoy www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Take home message: timing of early life exposures, milk IgG here, is critical for immune development.

@michael-silverman.bsky.social and I discuss how new findings from Megan Koch’s lab highlight the importance of maternal guidance during early life helps prepare offspring for a life of immune health. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I wrote a perspective on new work out in @aga-cmgh.bsky.social on sex differences in goblet cells and mucus: www.cmghjournal.org/article/S235...

New content online:

Happy to have compiled this review on the role of the intestinal mucosa in RA and SpA with my friends @kknoop.bsky.social‬, Joyce, Mario, and Kentaro. We challenge the "leaky gut" hypothesis and why we shouldn't use that term that oversimplifies how our microbiome shapes immunity.

Looking beyond “leaky gut” for causes of chronic inflammation, check out this review @kristikuhn.bsky.social wrote with others! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Of course, I like to think that my post yesterday was the final nail in the coffin. After all, I posted it yesterday and today Vinay Prasad is out. Obviously, correlation equals causation. 😂 sciencebasedmedicine.org/covid-19-con...

So much fun talking about my science and activism with Marion and Agnès! Thanks for inviting me!

These NPG spinoff journals are out of control

As US government authorities can no longer be relied upon to provide reliable medical information, the American Medical Association and 78 other medical societies have written an open letter to the American public underscoring the importance of vaccines. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

We are #hiring -- To clarify, this is for a second Postdoc position for the newly funded project.

We just received new funding to study human early-life B-cell and plasma cell immunity (including mucosal immunity to respiratory viral infections). We are seeking a new researcher with expertise in B-cell biology to join our team! Send me a message!

This is why I signed the #BethesdaDeclaration.

NEW: The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. ProPublica heard from more than 150 researchers to understand the work that’s been lost.

To celebrate this (urp 🤢) exciting new journal series, we made a mini game! Can YOU guess which journals are Discover, MDPI, or both? No cheating! There's even the challenge mode "APC Ladder." Share your high score with the hashtag #ResearchIntegrity pagoba.shinyapps.io/publi_guess/ FUN!! 🤮 6/n

Here is a link you can blast out to all of your networks to ask them to consider signing on in support of our NIH heroes. actionnetwork.org/forms/add-na... We are at 5000 folks who have signed on. But we can do better Only for people who have ever been sick or knows someone who has been.

There is a second support letter that the public can sign. You can help advance medical cures in the US, and defend against Trump’s tyrannical attacks on the country, by signing it. Please do. We hope for your support. And please share with your family and friends!

NIH staff and biomedical community sound alarm about agency politicization, funding slowdown | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

"I'm still in shock. I know that there have been political issues around Harvard in recent weeks, but antibiotic resistance isn't one of them." My conversation with Harvard microbiologist @baym.lol, one of many researchers there who just lost millions in fed. grants. www.wbur.org/news/2025/05...

Hearing buzz about the efforts to get rid of animal studies shedding light on human disease. The Trump admin has elevated Nicole Kleinstreuer to the head of DPCPSI to replace Tara Schwetz. What are people hearing about Kleinstreuer? Is she a Trumper? Or merely compliant?

If you are at #AAI25 in Hawaii and interested in learning about intestinal epithelial and IEL crosstalk. Please do stop by my poster # 1107 today from 10:30-11:45am. Session Title: MUC6P -Regulation of Mucosal Immunity. @squeakyanimal.bsky.social #Immunology2025

Amplifying this. NIH money not used by end of summer is gone. I've had a new R01 pending for months now, the award is prepared (according to ERA commons), what steps are left before the NOGA and funds released? Feel like many grants are being slow rolled before they are then not funded.
