I am excited to share that our work, in which we have dissected the signals driven by the nucleoside-modified mRNA and LNP components of mRNA vaccines that regulate germinal center (GC) responses, is now published in Cell! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The Locci Lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to investigate germinal center responses to SARS-CoV-2 in Long COVID. Reach out to me if interested!

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Last I checked it was 2025. Cod liver oil and Vit A????

This is the first movement from Sen. Fetterman, please fill out immediately if you have been impacted. Please circulate Penn, Pitt, PSU, Temple etc @cbartman.bsky.social

I expect that most academic biomedical researchers have considered leaving the US—if only in theory for now. What a colossal mess! Our representatives need to hear this. Please amplify so they know this matters. @levin.house.gov @repscottpeters.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Yes, this is happening. I should have received year 4 R01 funds at the end of January but didn’t. No explanation given.

Long COVID is a debilitating disease state affecting millions of people globally. Researchers outline key considerations informing design, implementation, and interpretation of trials in this growing field. @michaelpelusomd.bsky.social, et al @thelancet.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

It was a pleasure to write a News & Views article on this very important study. @katyely.bsky.social is a rising star. Watch out for her if you have an open faculty search!!

I totally agree!

My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines. Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with Vincent Racaniello & he taught me a few things about poliovirus. So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻
