Cell is hiring! Do you have a background in #neuroscience or #immunology? Better still, #neuroimmunology? Cell has an opening for a full-time scientific editor. Role will be based out of any one of our offices in Medford, MA, UK, Spain, Netherlands, China tinyurl.com/4ma236xn @cp-cell.bsky.social

My department at Washington State University is recruiting an Assistant or Associate Professor in vector-borne disease 🕷️🦟🦠 Full job description is linked below. Come join us on the Palouse!

Just a few months ago, a child in the US developed the most feared complication of measles (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) from an infection they had years ago when they were too young to be vaccinated. I hate to think about what is being unleashed by this virus as a future tragedy.

It’s a #gdTcell flavored #MucosalMonday! @saraalonsomera.bsky.social & I chat about the magic of our favorite cell type and our recent paper elucidating the role of the microbiota in driving gd IEL regulatory function on this month’s @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast. @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social

Women in STEM becoming independent: Put science and discovery ahead of your ego. #WomenInSTEM series featuring @priyadevarajan.bsky.social, @rzappasodi.bsky.social, Novalia Pishesha, Jui-Hsia Weng, Katherine Alexander, Yadira Soto-Feliciano, & @kedmiranit.bsky.social: rupress.org/jem/article/...

We’ve developed a really cool model of human diabetic neuropathy with demyelination, and have now gotten data showing we can prevent it. Opinions welcomed: - we’re doing small drug screens - trying to find funding (where??) - anyone interested in collaborating?

Another excellent #Viewpoint! Thank you to our contributors @priyadevarajan.bsky.social, @rzappasodi.bsky.social, Novalia Pishesha, Jui-Hsia Weng, Kate Alexander, Yadira Soto-Feliciano, and @kedmiranit.bsky.social ✨

Amidst the quietness of a Diwali weekend this year, one that refuses to become familiar despite 15 years away from home, I remember my first one as an immigrant Ph.D. student. 🪔

Latest in our #WomenInSTEM series from researchers discussing their science and the process of setting up a lab as an independent researcher, as well as the unique challenges they face as women scientists in their respective scientific environments: rupress.org/jem/article/...

🚨Job posting! #UMassAmherst Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences is hiring a TT faculty member in #Immunology. Both fundamental and translational areas considered. Please spread the word! careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-u...

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

My only regret is that we didn't go with the title "One buffer to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them", although "Squeaky clean staining" was a pretty good options too!

This looks like an amazing fix and I will definitely try. The overnight transcription factor staining protocol was already a game changer and I recommend it to everyone.

Thank you to @natneuro.nature.com for allowing us, @openboxscience.bsky.social , to discuss about the importance of scientific exchange and about platforms to make it happen. nature.com/articles/s41...

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We are hiring for 3 positions again! I have loved working in this department as I started my new lab last year, it is a well funded department with very nice colleagues who make science-ing so much fun. See below for links

Happy to share this mini review on IL-2 in type 2 immunity. IL-2 may be an old cytokine but there's still a lot to learn!! www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

Led by then graduate student Taylor Heim with help in revision from Ochapa Ibrahim! CXCR6 is on all of our TRM...why?? We think because it plays an important role in managing antigen encounters in tissue and successful transition to memory.

A Dapl1+ subpopulation of naïve CD8 T cells is enriched for memory-lineage precursors | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Our new story just came out in Science Advances! So proud of Adam Lynch and the rest of our team.

I am delighted to announce that the UW Department of Biochemistry has opened searches for TWO tenure-track positions. Descriptions and links in the following two posts.

👀 We're on the lookout for a talented immunologist to join us for a postdoc at Mount Sinai! If you are a recent PhD graduate, love spectral flow and want to join our γδ T cell crew, apply below! Livable wage + subsidized housing + Central Park. Help us spread the word! #gdTcells #Immunosky #GISky

For life to emerge on Earth, peptides must first have formed without the aid of enzymes — but how? Reactions of sulfur-containing molecules might have been key @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My department at Dartmouth Medical School is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor. We are looking broadly for a biochemist or cell biologist. Please share this add! apply.interfolio.com/171438 @dartmouthbcb.bsky.social @futurepislack.bsky.social

open.substack.com/pub/clauswil... this is very true and highly under appreciated. Not just for a PhD but any high level accomplishment.

So long, Vienna! I'm back home in Amsterdam after a great week of #immunology at #IUIS2025! I had an amazing time! Check out @immunologypodcast.com for daily episodes covering our favorite talks & recording of the live episode! Thanks @iuis-online.bsky.social! See you all in Toronto #IUIS2028

#InterferonPower! Thrilled for our latest work @cp-cell.bsky.social! With @danielboehmer.bsky.social, we dug into tons of papers & created what we hope will be a go-to resource for immunologists & non-immunologist about type I, II, III (& IV😉) #interferons! Free👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1leKGL7PXu...

We are putting together an exciting program with fresh perspectives and new biology!! Come join us next year in Portugal! @DelgoffeLab @Joshilabyale 🪐⏳

The 2025 Molecular Mycology course at the Marine Biology Lab in Woodshole MA is off to a great start! Fantastic lectures so far by Damian Krysan, Aaron Mitchell, Tamara Doering, (and me). Next up is Rob Cramer!

Things got competitive with immunology jeopardy (slight bias towards certain topics 😉) at our @bsheridanlab.bsky.social @priyadevarajan.bsky.social joint lab meeting this week!

Had a fun time listening to @cantonjohnathan.bsky.social discuss his fascination about DCs and EM so much that it has gotten me all excited about DCs! Very cool story about how cutting edge tech and expertise from two different fields can put you at a unique advantage to ask some cool questions.

I first fell in ❤️ with neuroscience at Mount Holyoke...apply now to inspire the next generation of women neuroscientists! 🧠

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.

In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.

Our paper has finally graduated from pre-print to peer-reviewed, pretty much unscathed, and is out now! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Nowosad Lab will be recruiting postdocs soon. Reach out if you are interested!
