Smallpox killed 300 million people in the 20th century. Today? It's completely eradicated thanks to vaccines. And polio cases are down 99% since 1988, with 20 million people walking today who would otherwise be paralysed. Learn more about the power of vaccines: bit.ly/3KeJU5w Via @unicef.org

Great to see this out! Following on from our earlier work revealing DOT1L was essential for humoral responses, here we determine the importance of H3K79me2 at multiple stages of B cell biology 👏 to Liam for tenaciously driving this study 👏 to collabs incl @sjturn.bsky.social + those not on bsky

hey bluesky 👋 visa hurdles mean I’m looking for opportunities outside the US. I’m a computational biologist (bacterial + phage genomics, postdoc in Koonin’s group @ NIH). I am interested in teaming up on funding apps. reach out if this resonates!

Thrilled to have our latest research @wehi-research.bsky.social published in @natimmunol.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... This work was an outstanding partnership between talented PhD student Len Dalit (now postdoc, no 🦋) and bioinformatician @chinweetan.bsky.social Thread below...

Working with a great team to organize @keystoneSymposia.bsky.social #BCells & #PlasmaCells : Fundamental & Translational Biology, this March! Join us to explore emerging research in Keystone! keysym.us/KSBCells26 #KSBCells26

Are you an immunologist working towards your first R01? Please join @aai.org and take advantage of programs like our Grant Review for Immunologists Program www.aai.org/Careers/GRIP We pair early career principal investigators with established mentors. Send me a chat for more info

What a great day; lots of fantastic discussions and a lovely location to boot!

I've been developing a semantic search tool that covers not just bioRxiv and medRxiv, but the entire PubMed database. This means you can search across a massive collection of biomedical research using keywords, questions, hypotheses, or even full abstracts. Try it out: mssearch.xyz

Excited to host @kimljacobson.bsky.social after the Keystone conference in March @lunduniversity-med.bsky.social @lundstem.bsky.social! #Bcells #LundImmunoTalks lit.blogg.lu.se/2025/02/13/i...

Ok bluesky - I want to finally get through one of these dust collectors during the Aussie summer… any recommendations of which to choose? Closest I’ve gotten to W&P is reading Anna Karenina… and closest to I’ve gotten to LM is enduring the movie 🙃

Hi 👋🏼 The Vinuesa lab has arrived at BlueSky! Follow us if you want to talk about all the exciting science going on in autoimmunity, genetics, and anything B cell-related 🧬 🧪

I’ve tried to put together a starter pack of immunologists/scientists exploring B Cell Repertoires and Antibody Affinities. Please feel free to share/join! go.bsky.app/4P64DmM

Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS go.bsky.app/QSEPDoj

It's great to see this out in Immunity today! Masato Ogishi, Koji Kitaoka, Jean-Laurent Casanova, Stuart Tangye on memory B cells in patients with PD-1 immunodeficiency Also stoked to contribute unpublished recall response data from my postdoc a very long time ago 🙂 www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Applying cellular recording technologies to immune cells with @jshendure.bsky.social is a focus of the #SeaHub and the most fun kind of collaborative effort. @cziscience.bsky.social @alleninstitute.bsky.social 🤓

The consequences of SARS-CoV-2 within-host persistence SARS-CoV-2 causes an acute respiratory tract infection that resolves in most people in less than a month.What if it does not? www.nature.com/artic... 1/4

I must admit that this annotated Nature abstract remains a useful recipe for constructing a summary paragraph. I show it to my students every time we get started.

#TheMoreTheMerrier! Zoler, Meyer, Schreiber &co show @ Science Signaling that the type I interferon receptor IFNAR can promiscuously bind multiple JAKs affecting downstream signaling & competing with other cytokine receptors! doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.adl1892

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network Below are the links If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS

#blutorial seems to be gaining in use and I’m hoping that’s what sticks. Whatever you call them, I love a good explainer!

Time for a reset...let's go! go.bsky.app/8avwjYw

Save the date! It may be a while to go yet, but I’m very excited for our B-cellapalooza in 2026!

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here. The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD
