As a first-generation college student, I have faced numerous challenges along the way. Nonetheless, my early investment in building a support community of mentors & peers is paying high dividends & continues to shape my path forward. There's no need to travel your journey alone.

Seeking someone looking for a two-year postbac position to get my group up and running at Yale University! We will be utilizing chromatin tracing and other multiplexed imaging approaches to study the relationship between 3D genome organization and epigenetic memory in embryos!

Tim Nice and colleagues Tim Nice identify a role for Interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) in intestinal epithelial cell development and immunity:

The number of people congratulating this former PI really speaks to how deep the misogyny in academia runs. Scientific contributions should never outweigh the duty to moral and scientific integrity. Second chances shouldn’t be given at the expense of past and future trainees

Some pretty good frozen sectioning and staining to identify a few tuft cells in yellow.

Proud to share the results of our study on the effect of prostaglandin E2 on T cells, which was just published in Nature in which we discovered a new role for PGE2 in inhibiting interleukin-2 (IL-2) sensing and signalling in tumor-reactive T cells nature.com/articles/s4158…

Immunology is for everyone!
Excited to share 'Exploring new perspectives in immunology' with Ruslan Medzhitov in Cell.

Thrilled to share another chapter of my PhD work w/ Prof. Akiko Iwasaki where we repurposed neomycin to elicit immunological protection against respiratory viral infection and transmission!! (1/3)

AAI proudly celebrates President Akiko Iwasaki's inclusion in TIME's 2024 list of 100 most influential people. Her groundbreaking research on viral infections, including COVID-19, and advocacy for public health make her a true inspiration.

if the nsf grf is going to reject everyone based on their academic track record the least they could do is post at what GPA you shouldn’t bother applying (mine was triaged early due without further review due to my horrendous 3.49)

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.

Can you ever have too many villi pictures 🤷‍♀️, I just love them.

I know a very talented researcher who received the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP in neuroscience (amazing!) but was not admitted to any PhD programs this cycle. Any #neuroscience PhD prgms able to consider a trainee with 3 yrs funding so they don't need to decline the award? (Can't defer it seems)
