Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be."

RFK Jr. went on Fox News today to claim that HHS has had “no successes” in the past 40 years. I beg to differ. Figure from Lei et al., NEJM 2020. Link below.

🚨 New Publication!!! I’m thrilled to share our latest study, “Clonotype-Enriched Somatic Hypermutations Drive Affinity Maturation of a Public Human Antibody Targeting an Occluded Sarbecovirus Epitope”. www.cell.com/cell-reports... [1/4]

Delighted to share this perspective piece by Lewis Yu on microbial regulation of serotonin and neuroimmune interactions. Looking forward to sharing more on this topic soon 🤞 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A big thank you to all who attended our #IUIS2025 Symposium on "Visualizing immunity"! 🫶 It was a great turnout and informative session. #ImmunologyWithoutBorders

I love this creativity and technology. A solar powered train. I’d love to have that here in the United States. A great step forward for Australia.

1/ Excited to share the first preprint from my lab! 🎉 My postdoc Paz asked how cholera toxin (CT) helps Vibrio cholerae thrive in the gut. Turns out, CT rewires epithelial metabolism toward L-lactate production—fueling pathogen growth in the small intestine during disease

💡 Curious how we applied a synthetic community to study interactions between baby gut microbes and a lot of different sugars? 📖 I wrote a blog for the #FEMSmicroBlog to explain! 🦠 #microsky #microbiomesky #glycotime fems-microbiology.org/femsmicroblo...

If you are looking for a great read during your journey to @iuis-online.bsky.social Congress, take a peek at this review from from Matthias Nahrendorf, Florent Ginhoux and @filswirski.bsky.social in @science.org that explores the role of immune cells beyond host defence. buff.ly/S5RkqTf

Research has an economic return multiplier >1. So taxes don't even really pay for research. Research more than pays for itself, the taxes are just used to kick-start the positive economic cycle. The more money invested in research, the better the economy.

Check out this commentary on a fantastic and important new study by Maziar Divangahi and colleagues. Trained immunity strikes again!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How can mosquitoes tolerate viral infections? In our latest preprint we show that mosquitoes that can regulate their metabolism after infection can tolerate viral infections better. Thanks to all the authors for all your ideas and contributions www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

We are looking for post-docs interested in studying T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection…especially basic T cell immunologists who are interested in learning to work with BSL3 pathogens. The NIH intramural program is an amazing place to train!

Online now: Epigenetic silencing of interleukin-10 by host-derived oxidized phospholipids supports a lethal inflammatory response to infections

#EpigeneticPower! 💥 #NewPaperAlert! We show @cp-immunity.bsky.social that endogenous oxidized lipids decide whether host survives or dies during #sepsis, #ARDS, or Staph infection! Ox lipids bind & inhibit #AKT, boosting inhibitory H3K27 methylation via EZH2 & blocking #IL10!

Great to be a (small) part of this beautiful new study on global diversity of soil transmitted #helminths from @stephenrdoyle.bsky.social and colleagues 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
