This is worrisome for the future of R&D.

Happy to share new work from #theonlylabever, lead by the phenomenal @sltai.bsky.social - who developed a tool to study the biology of ILC3s, identifying their role in controlling CSF2-dependent myeloid cells. 🤗 @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social @societymucosalimm.bsky.social OA: doi.org/10.1016/j.mu...

Today is a day to remember. A day to listen. A day to learn.

We have several positions open at various levels (Research Assistant, Research Associate, Postdoctoral Fellow) across our highly interactive teams in the Division of Translational Neuroscience 🧠🔬🧪 @lieberinstitute.bsky.social www.libd.org/careers/ Links to individual positions in the thread below.

A big study in JAMA last year in which 185 909 children were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Conclusion: Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38592388/

Trump will probably ask for a Nobel price in Physiology and Medicine for his discovery that acetaminophen causes autism. Such lies and falsehoods will cause real harm and cost lives.

Interesting read, and different message from most of what we hear about AI. www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

Important to read and share.

The stupid “chainsaw” approach will seriously undermine research and innovation and will have serious long term impact on the economy and health of American people and beyond!

Hearing more and more stories of scientists from abroad deciding not to come or to return to the U.S. I know Giulia from my PhD in Colorado. I very much understand her decision

Amazing to see @virusesimmunity.bsky.social Prof. Akiko Iwasaki on that list.

The CIHR guillotine dropped earlier this morning, and it doesn’t look very promising. I hope others out there had better luck.

Summer lab dinner. There’s 9 of us??!! 😱 Soon to be 8 as Sophie finished her summer internship; her first experience in a research lab. It was a great pleasure to host her.

And some US-based researchers are afraid to attend conferences abroad for fear of not being able to return to the US. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I had such a great time at #gammadeltatoronto, learning about great science, catching with old friends and making new ones.

Awesome work by @ikinglab.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excellent article: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Happy Holidays from the Mallevaey Lab! 2024 is almost a wrap. Wishing all a joyful holiday season filled with warmth & happiness. May the New Year bring new opportunities, bright ideas, and meaningful connections. Stay curious!

My beautiful lab at our @immunologyuoft.bsky.social Holiday Party last week. It’s a privilege to work and learn alongside these students. Happy Holidays to y’all!

Awesome study by @theonlylabever.bsky.social published online in Cell. Check it out! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Best #Nikolaus 🎅! Our paper on how the 🫁 microenvironment can shape #innate immunity against #viruses is out @sciimmunology.bsky.social This was a herculean effort brilliantly led by @pauljbaker.bsky.social who singlehandedly established the model in the lab during the pandemic. 🧪 #Immunosky 1/9

Interested is studying microbiome immune system intersections? This is a great lab to do so 👇🏼

Manuscript rejected this week: “Although we will not be able to consider the manuscript further, we hope that the referees’ critiques will be helpful as you pursue publication at another journal”. It always hurts, but we gotta keep going.

Meet Zhewei Liu, PhD student extraordinaire at @ImmunologyUofT and everyone’s favourite lab mait. His work on MAIT cells and IBD laid the groundwork for a grant proposal that was submitted this week. Our first on MAIT cells 🤞🏼
