Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

I am thrilled to release ProteinDJ: a high-performance and modular protein design pipeline. Our open-source workflow incorporates #RFdiffusion, #ProteinMPNN, #FAMPNN, #AlphaFold2 and #Boltz-2. It is a fast, free, and fun way to design proteins (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.24.678028 #proteindesign

I’ll just leave this here as it’s awesome in every way and very needed. Thank you Pulp and LCD Soundsystem. And of course Heaven 17 youtu.be/ydWHNkLtpcA

We’re recruiting a PhD Fellow in Computational Systems Immunology. Work on large-scale immune receptor datasets and develop computational models in close collaboration with experimental labs. Apply here: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

If you see this, post a bridge.

Labor productivity has more than doubled since the late 1960s. But workers’ compensation has barely budged. Yes. The economy is rigged in favor of the wealthy.

We are hiring a PhD student 🎓 Work with me and Matthias Rüdt in our department on an exciting industry collaboration with Lonza combining high-throughput experiments and molecular modelling using AlphaFold and MolecularDynamics 📍 Sion, Valais, Switzerland More info: www.jobup.ch/fr/emplois/d...

Investing in people behind medical research fuels UK growth. A new report by Frontier Economics (funded by @amrc-uk.bsky.social & @wellcometrust.bsky.social) shows non-commercial clinical research adds £72.7bn to the economy. Driving innovation in prevention, diagnosis & treatment. bit.ly/3KrW7nf

Why did all of us never realise the greatest medical breakthroughs were this easy! Evidence from controlled studies with a sample size of millions falls away in thrall to a ‘feeling’ that it was the mothers’ ‘fault’ all along

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/...

Today I had to install Adobe InDesign, remind myself how to use it after almost 20 years and deliver files for printing in the space of 2 hours or the conference would not have had nice name badges. Underworld playlist helped. I'm also on holiday, so I then went for a walk in this heavenly place.

Really useful update from Bob Hawkins on Long Covid in England from the annual GP survey bhawkins3.substack.com/p/long-covid...

Thoughtful piece by Abdel on social science genetics - I am definitely taken by “one person’s confounder is another person’s signal”. Also humble about dark histories here and his own perspective

This is a cool story that I've watched with great interest - making big steps in the field of de novo TCR generation! Great work @dkarthikey1.bsky.social / @benjamingvincent.bsky.social / @alexr.bsky.social et al

Very good piece from @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social on AI and future implications for the workplace at large, with context setting around the already existing digital divide. Thought provoking and insightful, I hope policymakers read it, re-read it and then have a really deep think/reset of policies

On to the management of your grant! You need to keep track of your spending. Remember, you are expected to not just do what you promised, but also do what reviewers want, and create preliminary data for the next grant. This means you need to under-spend on the original deliverables.

Well, that's my abstracts for @britsocimm.bsky.social Congress submitted, and I'm delighted to be included in a couple of other abstracts. Looking forward to Liverpool and seeing folks and discussing the work in person. One of the best parts of it all.

An evergreen thread: Race/Ethnicity is *not the same* as genetics, and you can't use Race/Ethnicity as a sort of stand-in for genetics. These two concepts are connected via aspects like skin colour, but the connection is alot less profound and categorical than most people think.

Calling all #Tcell #immunologists. 📰 Latest news update! 🗞️ As many of you may have seen, we're running a conference and hackathon in Oxford in late-September/early-November. It's getting close, just over a month away now! ⏰ web.cvent.com/event/7466b0...

Excited to announce ImmReferent - A one stop shop for getting and handling IMGT immune receptor and HLA sequences in R. github.com/BorchLab/imm...

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪 The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs. That is *pure fantasy*. Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

Thanks for the visit Nobel laureate John Jumper & colleagues Kathryn Tunyasuvunakool and Lindsay Willmore from Google DeepMind. Always interesting to hear and discuss #AlphaFold and protein structure predictions.

Really interesting thread from @ewanbirney.bsky.social

Just goes to show that if you want it brought home, you need to get the women to do it #TheFootball

LIONESSES! So brilliant. Well done, what a team.

Two papers in today's issue of @nature.com ‬: 1) we assemble 65 genomes to near completion, including centromeres and the MHC. tinyurl.com/3huhax6w. 2) we sequence 1,019 genomes from the 1kGP with long reads, revealing SVs down to low allele frequencies tinyurl.com/wbx3we9x.

The day Trump won I said I wasn't going to visit the US under a Trump presidency. If you don't have to visit, don't. Don't support Trump, don't take the risk.

HLE has recently become the benchmark to beat for frontier agents. We at FutureHouse took a closer look at the chem and bio questions and found about 30% of them are likely invalid based on our analysis and third-party PhD evaluations. 1/7
