We have an exciting new story out at @ScienceMagazine's Science Immunology! It is about using #AAV cytokine delivery to change the lung environment. We can boost #lung #Tregs or delivery anti-inflammatory #cytokines, preventing fatal respiratory collapse science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I'm officially an expert in failing! I was asked to give the opening keynote today for a @CRUKCamCentre conference, speaking on the topic "Failing in Science"

@CRUKCamCentre This talk was motivated by our book "Self-Doubt", which is now available in print amazon.co.uk/Self-Doubt-Ant…

This is a great book, I very much enjoyed reading it and highly recommend it

If this would be helpful to anyone, but you don't want to buy a copy, you can read it for free online: Link: heyzine.com/flip-book/a5dd… Password: BeKind

@baryontensor My supervisions are typically 3 students. 50 students would be entirely unacceptable, and as Director-of-Studies I wouldn't sign off on it.

I'm reading about the history of the Oxbridge tutorial system and apparently they're meant to be as small as 1-3 students per tutor? I'm currently running something ostensibly called "tutorials" with 50 students per section.

If you want to learn more about cytokine delivery to modify the lung immune environment, but don't have time to read our full paper at @SciImmunology, here is a short (5 minute) explainer! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Sometimes science leads us to unexpected places. For example, work we started during the COVID lockdown, may help treating the "Curse of the Pharaohs" Read all about it at @SciImmunology PS, we don't support tomb-robbing of ancient Egyptian burial sites science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A new Science #Immunology study highlights a gene delivery platform that can induce lung-specific immunomodulatory cytokine expression without systemic side effects in mice, restricting tissue damage after #flu infections. @LabListon @GreVVel scim.ag/3OrpMj2

@kan_gw_menang @ERC_Research Yeah, because the amount of money is the same, so having more people waste time writing grants for AI slop "review" is a lose-lose situation

@ERC_Research I see.

The number of grant applications is rising sharply. Our capacity for their evaluation isn’t. ERC President Maria Leptin explains why stricter resubmission limits are being introduced for 2027 calls and what this mean for applicants. link.europa.eu/xF7kjc

@TombiMakuyana @RegisJoulia @KULeuvenU @Cambridge_Uni @BabrahamInst @KU_Leuven @ERC_Research @wellcometrust If you are interested in the people behind the science, Tombi started in rural Zimbabwe and James went from foster care to homelessness. Their stories "I won't become a Statistic" and "From the Streets to the Lab", in "Self Doubt", are a real inspiration: amazon.co.uk/Self-Doubt-Ant…

@TombiMakuyana @RegisJoulia @KULeuvenU A huge thanks to our team at @Cambridge_Uni & @BabrahamInst. Thanks also to the @KU_Leuven team, especially Laura Seldeslachts and Lauren Michiels. Funded by @ERC_Research, @wellcometrust & FWO🙏 heyzine.com/flip-book/a16e…
