Too much data, too little thinking. A important essay from Ruslan Medzhitov on the importance of understanding data, not just generating it. A must read. @Yale www.nature.com/articles/s41...

13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when 🇨🇦 is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. 🇨🇦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

Really sorry to hear that reviewers are abusing people with diseases. Hiding behind a screen does not take courage. It is cowardice. Bully tactics. Sad commentary on the quality of reviewers. In person review panels hold reviewers accountable. #CIHR being back in person review panels.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Sir Nicholas White @moru-mip.bsky.social Nick was a visionary in #malaria treatment whose work transformed global health. He will be remembered with great respect and affection Read our tribute 👉 www.tropicalmedicine.ox.ac.uk/news/profess...

Over 100 years ago, platelets were observed to interact with neutrophils in blood clots Eric Boilard & team now detail platelet-neutrophil interactions as more abundant in arthritic conditions, noting that neutrophils fail to migrate in the absence of platelets: doi.org/10.1172/JCI1...

I’ve joined the editorial team at the journal Science, handling papers in infectious diseases, microbiology, host-microbe interactions, and related topics. I’ll be delighted to hear from you (by email) about exciting research studies. 🦠 #microsky #immunosky #virosky www.science.org/content/page...

Pain-sensing neurons in the intestines play an important role in defending the body from threats. New study led by the Artis Lab at @weillcornell.bsky.social shows TRPV1+ nociceptors in the gut activate tuft cells, leading to expulsion of parasites. 🔗 https://go.nature.com/4jTvO7k

In the strain on scientific publishing, we showed that total publications have grown out of control. A huge part of that was guest edited special issues by groups like #MDPI and #Frontiers. This ongoing practice is the largest delegation of editorial power academia has ever seen. 2/n

Today, we see the fruit of 5+ years of teamwork. We have built a map of the neutrophil compartment (mostly in mice - but also humans). It provides a biological structure that focuses on a single immune cell lineage to discover the many ways in which neutrophils "interpret" physiology.

It’s been a great week for the GommerLab. Today I am proud of Dr. Albert Nguyen who as a student then a postdoc saw this work to the finish line. Also grateful to Dr. Chrys Brown (MSKCC) - Working together we learned new things about cDC2 biology. Yay team science!

Proud to share our work now out in Cell. We hope what we learned about IgA immune responses to rotavirus can be translated into better vaccines. Congratulations Dr. Kei Haniuda, an amazing PDF. TY @uoftmedicine.bsky.social for covering. temertymedicine.utoronto.ca/news
