In an exciting collaboration with the #ImmuneHealth lab at Penn @benfens investigated the developing immune system of preterm infants. Even pre-term infants make surprisingly robust CD8 T cell responses to diverse infections. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

For any neonatology physician-scientist fellows that might be out there, @Jon_J_Knowlton and I are starting a hub to get us all connected. Please fill out this survey if you're interested in joining! forms.gle/vy6mP9ytSsVEhR…

@McNewKL @CallMe_JN @BReinfeld @madden_mz Honored. Those interview days are a big deal! Haha. But it is you all that continue to make the MSTP the incredible program it is today! Excited to be lifelong colleagues and friends with you all.

Our very own @benfens (M4) hosts a science podcast called "But Why?" Check out his conversation with @VUMC_Vaccines Dr. James Crowe @croweje on emerging pathogens research: How do we identify the cause of new diseases? @VI4Research soundcloud.com/ben-fensterhei…

And it's up online to stream! Link: goo.gl/ayp6qJ For anyone interested in MD/PhD training, take a listen to this fantastic conversation with @RachelBrownMSTP @MargaretAxelrod @lizzieahale1 @MichaelR21 @abin_abe @patrickwu510 from @VanderbiltMSTP #DoubleDocs

Back in the @WRVUNashville studio for another radio show on MD/PhD training! Amazing panel of @VanderbiltMSTP G-phase students @MargaretAxelrod @MichaelR21 @RachelBrownMSTP @patrickwu510 @lizzieahale1. Tune in at wrvu.org TODAY at 11am CT to listen in. #DoubleDocs

@ReedOmary @DMAronoff Hey thanks! Agreed

Great example of using Twitter to share science. I would never have come across the great work of @benfens had I not followed @DMAronoff. Why wouldn’t all scientists want to amplify the impact of their work thru #SoMe? #MedEd twitter.com/benfens/status…

So honored that my recent work is featured on the cover of the Journal of Immunology. Those slides have come a long way. Check it out! @J_Immunol #ReadTheJI twitter.com/J_Immunol/stat…

Privileged to be a part of this State-of-the-Art Review in Pediatrics @AAPJournals with inspirational co-authors from @VUMChealth and @BostonChildrens. Many childhood antibiotic allergy labels carried into adulthood are #fakenews with real consequences. pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/…

Check out @benfens (M3) new first-author paper in @J_Immunol! In mice, prophylactic #TLR4 agonist MPLA reduces infection via reprogrammed #macrophage #metabolism. Long view: potential use vs. bacteria with #AntibioticResistance? Find it here: jimmunol.org/content/early/…

@JoeLuchsinger @VanderbiltMSTP Hey thanks Joe!

Check out this great work by fellow @VanderbiltMSTP, @benfens! twitter.com/benfens/status…

@BReinfeld Ha! Thanks Brad

Metabolism and macrophages from a true Mench. Proud of my band mate @benfens jimmunol.org/content/early/…

More of my graduate work has been published! This manuscript was a product of creativity, awesome collaborations, and a dedicated and supportive lab. A big thank you to everyone involved! #macrophage #metabolism jimmunol.org/content/early/…

1 child under the age of 5 dies every 20 seconds from vaccine-preventable disease. Countless more survive but suffer through unnecessary & painful illnesses. There’s no question-vaccines are safe & save lives. @CDCgov National Infant Immunization Week #ivax2protect @AAPneonatal
