It all sounds quite modern, until you learn that she also worried she’d be burned as a witch. 🧵 1/15

The #Drosophila Immunity Handbook 🧵 This project started as a review with the aim, in some sense, to update Lemaitre and Hoffmann (2007; Ann Rev Imm). Then it kinda... got out of hand. But the reason that happened is because Hannah is amazing. Find the free PDF here btw: bit.ly/DrosImmBook 1/n
