We're like a parent watching their baby all grown up. 🥹 STEMprep™ has now been featured in its very first scientific publication!

Such an amazing experience to be a faculty member at "ImmunoPeru: Interplay between the environment and the Immune system": Top scientists, top students, free flowing ideas and thinking about making a real world impact!!! Thank you IUIS/ALACI/SPI for such a brilliant opportunity and a great course!

Excellent: Why is autism really on the rise? What the science says www.nature.com/articles/d41... Reality, increase largely driven by: - Broader diagnostic criteria - Increased awareness & detection Autism causes complex, but it ain't vaccines or Tylenol.

Dynamic alterations of dural and bone marrow B cells in an animal model of progressive multiple sclerosis url: rupress.org/jem/article-... Congrats to the Gommerman lab on a fascinating and important study!

The best conferences are always the small, intimate, focused ones where ideas fly freely. This one is a premier example!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone there and brainstorming on the hottest topic in immunology!

Couldn't agree more. A bold, timely move would pay huge future dividends for health, biotech and a clean economy. Such an amazing window of opportunity for Canada while US politics has led to their exit from scientific stage. The question is whether we will be bold enough and seize the opportunity

bbc.com/news/articles/c74dzdddvmjo 2 of 2) Canada, you stepped up on vaccine development. Time to double down and become the world leaders. US chaos/self-goal is a scientific and economic opportunity and we have the skill...time to be bold @stankutcher.sencanada.ca @canada-gov-ca.bsky.social

bbc.com/news/article... 1 of 2) The most stunning ceding of scientific and therapeutic leadership in my scientific career. When Trump 1.0 threatened NIH cuts, a GOP congress gave a 25% increase. Where are they now? Folks will die unnecessarily for this foolishness.

Our latest work on how neonatal microbiome sculpts adult disease susceptibility, and a simple metabolite that rescues! Microbial dysbiosis sculpts a systemic ILC3/IL-17 axis governing lung inflammatory responses and central hematopoiesis - Mucosal Immunology www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Thrilled to be a team sponsored by the SCN to use ILCs to address chronic inflammation and cancer. Kudos to Grace Kuo, precocious member of my team who put together a remarkable application!!!! youtu.be/e6sp8DLTfgc?...

So happy to share our latest work on a model for a very important disease. Congrats Ahmed! Functional targeting of ILC2s and ILC3s reveals selective roles in intestinal fibrosis and homeostasis url:https://rupress.org/jem/article/222/7/e20241671/277979/Functional-targeting-of-ILC2s-and-ILC3s-reveals

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

2025 Day of Immunology - Brain and Immunity: Immuno... by Lina Salinas ; Apr 29 2025; immunohub.iuis.org/iuis/2024/we...

Such an important, misunderstood disease and frequently misdiagnosed with devastating results. Thanks to Yane Valdez for highlighting this on the Day of Immunology! Please thank those Immunological giants who are responsible for our quality lives..truly remarkable!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDc6...

This is a terrific editorial by the good Dr. Zandstra that hits all the key points for Canada's future science and R&D success! Kudos!!! Opinion: Canada’s U.S. brain gain is risky without more foundational support for science /via @globeandmail www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

A recent interest! Quoting Dr. Yanet Valdez Tejeira: "April 14th is #WorldChagasDay. Let's raise awareness about Chagas disease, a silent killer impacting vulnerable populations. Educate yourself & others by watching our important awareness video:" www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0WW...

World Chagas Day!!! Great opportunity to learn about a neglected disease that is a huge problem in some parts of the world and a growing, costly one in North America.

Thanks to Adam Schiff for such a kind acknowledgment to Canada and also for fighting for what's right in America. youtu.be/hcrL88Jwhsg?...

What a great panel and topic!!! Equitable partnerships, in science and beyond, are what the world desperately needs these days and this panel can speak to this better than virtually anyone I know. Great opportunity!

Corey Booker is such an inspiration of what John Lewis said about getting into to "good trouble". Follow that lead: INTERVENE. Don't let students get grabbed off the streets or watch your colleagues get pushed out of their offices...non-violently INTERVENE and cause some good trouble...take a risk.

So pleased to share our research with the wider community. Immune modulation and treating chronic inflammatory disease is our jam. @ubcpress.bsky.social @ubcmedicine.bsky.social @embl.org @scienceupfirst.bsky.social research2reality.com/health-medic...

You've got to be kidding me! "Do not intervene"?Authoritarianism 101: create an environment of fear of challenging unjust orders. You, as a supporter and citizen with rights MUST challenge them or they will bulldoze you! What an idiotic and cowardly policy! www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

A scientist's insight: Every lab is like a small company. If you cut funding, even for a month, trained staff and resources are lost, move on and it takes years to rebuild. How long do you think a company could survive with a month long cut? Conclusion? The US just lost 1000s of small startups!!!

Is this the new US? Masked "police" pulling folks off the street? I've seen some authoratarian BS before but this is disgraceful and I never thought it would happen there. Intl students, and Fullbrights in particular, go on to become invaluable HQPs frequently in the US. What are you doing!!!!?

BREAKING: We, @aclu.org and CLEAR are joining Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after ICE unlawfully arrested and detained her in retaliation for her political speech. Speaking out against a war, a policy, or a government is not a crime. The government must immediately release Ms. Öztürk.

Couldn't agree more! NIH is THE engine for the economy and health in 1000s of unseen ways. Even short term cuts have long-lasting and devastating consequences. Read this thoughtful article! Safeguarding the future of biomedical science in the United States: Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Is this the new US? Masked "police" (can ICE officers really say that?) pulling folks off the street? I've seen some authoratarian BS before but this is disgraceful. Intl students pay a fortune to get US education (a business!), and many become HQPs in the US. Are the people really okay with this?

While Vance rips through DEI initiatives across the nation, his mother-in-law is a proud pioneer of diversity, equity, and inclusion at her own job.

Uber should offer a “no tesla” option

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.

Wow…

Thanks to all the amazing International Women who have grace my lab and my life. I owe you everything!

More of this! We all know this won’t pass but this is a line in the sand and a great talking point. /cc @shasti.bsky.social

Being disabled isn’t some abstract concept. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” their way out of. It’s something that can happen to anyone at any time. Once it happens to you, you will understand how little support exists. Help us & your future self will thank you.

Currently, NIH's Center for Scientific Review reviews 66,000 grant applications a year, with panels run by NIH’s separate institutes reviewing the rest. Under a new plan, the institute-run panels will be eliminated, and many of the scientists overseeing them will be laid off. scim.ag/3QP0FUG

In protest of Trumps tariffs I poured all my Bourbon down the toilet last night during his disgraceful speech. HOWEVER: being of Irish decent, I added insult by passing in through my kidneys first: Patriotic, but not stupid!

Pink Shirt Day in Canada! Take it international! Say "No" to bullying! Especially to those who are in a positions of power and should be role models to everyone! Set an example...Speak up!

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on book tour instead of doing a fight back tour?

Of course this is just an example....I would encourage folks to embellish a pink shirt with your own persnonal message for the Bully-in-Chief.....

International friends! Next Tuesday is "pink shirt day" in Canada, which is part of an anti-bullying campaign. How about we use it to send a special message to the Bully in Chief (Trump) to stop bullying the world's vulnerable? @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

All started in academia. The value of these 5 discoveries in years of life saved dwarfs the total dollar value of all Canadian government investments in academic research to date.

Many #researchintegrity sleuths are volunteers with little financial support for their often-daunting work to uncover #scientificfraud. One of the most prominent, Elisabeth Bik, has now provided money to change that. @elisabethbik.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE. To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.
