Spotted some sick IgM rims

In response to a @CellCellPress #Cell #Voices prompt, "What tool or method do you wish existed?" An inspiring #technology #wishlist from stellar biologists and engineers. See the responses (including mine) below. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… @ragoninstitute @harvardmed @MGH_RI

The #Evavold lab @ragoninstitute is hiring a new #technician. Please retweet & share the link below. Ideal for recent grads looking for a couple years of research experience prior to MD or PhD. partners.taleo.net/careersection/…

First immunology student journal club of the year. Wonderful presentation by @EarlandNoah with faculty host Laura Campisi!

Congrats to my brother @BirkEvavold for passing his qualifying exam @WUSTLmed. Now go drink some aquavit for Syttende Mai! 🇳🇴🇳🇴

Overjoyed to finally be able to share our latest publication ⁦@Nature⁩ in which we show that boosters targeted against the Omicron variant alone can engage rare naive B cells targeting variant-specific epitopes. ⁦📖Check it out!📖⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4158…

Latest publication out of the Ellebedy Lab showing de novo B cell responses to variant vaccines in humans. Led by @als_wafaa and @SameerMalladi . Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4158…

@MalariaatUtah @_jenna_reed @UofUMandI Incredible!! 🎉

So proud of Lamb lab alumni and University of Utah BRIDGE UP - HBCU alumni Miss Kennedy Chastang! Already a legend but now also a Goldwater Scholar! Many congrats to Kennedy - very well deserved #Goldwater #BridgeUp @UofUMandI

STL! ⚽️

Our new paper delineates #ROS #control of #GSDMD #pore forming activity. C192 is necessary & sufficient for ROS #enhancement of pores and #pyroptosis. #Ragulator controls one arm of many potential ROS inputs. @CellReports @ragoninstitute @harvardmed cell.com/cell-reports/f…

In this edition of #ManipulativeMicrobes, @VBriken and @Shivang39964107 comment on recent findings that #Mtb uses #lipid #dephosphorylation as a strategy to inhibit #gasdermin pores and #pyroptosis. cell.com/cell-host-micr…

@BirkEvavold No shame and no heart, if anthropology wants to donate to charity they can reduce their profit margins

I say no with my chest when the cashier asks if I want to round to the nearest dollar for charity

What do #astronomy, #plants, and #mammals have in common? They inspired our #Goldilocks framework of allowable #metabolic shifts in the context of #guard theory and cell-intrinsic #immunity during #infection. @fraschillair @harvardmed @ragoninstitute frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Excited to share work published in collaboration with the twitterless Chyi Hsieh and his lab! Using CAR T cells we ameliorated EAE, unveiling fundamental roles for high & low affinity autoreactive T cells. Chyi’s innovation and creativity are infinite! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@KMSHimmuno @DuSiling @WUSTLImmuno What time is the test?

@TheBcellArtist @KingOfPathogens @dachri0 @IforRWilliams I guess the B cells are the reason it’s called the greater omentum

And for the Immunologists wondering what the hell the omentum is and why they should care - here is a gorgeous whole mount from @dachri0 showing the B cells (magenta) and vessels in this tissue. @IforRWilliams science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Mark your calendars for the inaugural Vaccine Center Symposium Nov. 3, 8:30 am - 2 pm at EPNEC More details here: internalmedicine.wustl.edu/events/event/v…

New from @fraschillair & @KateJeffrey1 in @cellhostmicrobe demonstrating #chromatin reader #SP140 controls #antibacterial gene programs, #macrophage identity, and #pathobiont expansion in the #gut #microbiota. #IBD @harvardmed @Harvard_Imm @MGH_RI cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Me getting full empathy points during an SP encounter

Do I actually need to go to Trader Joe’s or am I just out of recycling bags?
