📣 PhD studentship opportunity. Join us at the Becker for a fully-funded 4-year Bicentenary PhD studentship – “Defining contributions of non-IgE-mediated mechanisms in solar urticaria”. *Deadline is this Sat 15th November* 📌 Apply now & please share: #ImmunoSky www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Well done @nabinapun.bsky.social getting your Radnet @cruk-mi.bsky.social @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @mcrcnews.bsky.social @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social PhD work out

We had a quieter day yesterday even managing to watch the Celebrity Traitors final but today we have been busy again preparing for our next of two further baseline days on Fluke Street

PhD opportunity working with me, Mark Viney, Iris Mair and Rowan Bancroft studying the Isle of May wild mice is open now! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

It’s a new immunology 101 to brighten your weekend cos your weekend can’t get started until you have marvelled over monoclonal antibodies. Its a reach I know but still hope you find time to read and enjoy 🧪

We are in the middle of our second of four “baseline” days on our Fluke Street grid. Releasing the mice back on to the grid is always good to watch @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @profjudiallen.bsky.social @sheencr.bsky.social

Thanks so much for inviting me, it was a great day and a particularly impressive group of students!!

A few more weeks to apply for this postdoc in mucosal immunology and ILC biology, please share in your networks and with interested candidates.

We are back on the Isle of May for our final winter season of our BBSRC funded research exploring the effects of environment on immunity. Traps are out and we are having an evening by the fire @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @profjudiallen.bsky.social

What a week! So pleased to now also see the peer reviewed version in Science Signaling of @megtriesscience.bsky.social PhD work joint with the Saunders lab, see her great thread for explanation below www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

👏 Congratulations to former Becker @wellcometrust.bsky.social ICD PhD student @megtriesscience.bsky.social on her first-author paper in Science Signaling!

Somewhat ironic that when I was interviewed for this article on fresher's flu I was just getting over a nasty cold myself potentially acquired in various teaching activities. Some quick takes on this for all new students (and not just freshers). 🧪🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Prof Sheena Cruickshank @sheencr.bsky.social comments on the infamous 'freshers flu' 🦠 and why so many get it in this BBC News article #immunosky www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was fantastic to contribute to the latest research from @owenlabuob.bsky.social now out at @natcomms.nature.com. This is a great initiative and could be an important resource for the SMLM community. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nice article about the community of Lister fellows in Manchester!
