@Noahpinion This article from March 17th… totally breaking news.

Oooooops

Finally, our study on caspase-11 and its CARD-recognized molecular pattern is out in Science Advances! A small step, but we hope it opens new directions for studying caspase-11 and its ligands. 🔬🚀 #Immunology #Caspase11 #ScienceAdvances 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrats on the great story @JelenaLab!!

@samirzaidi @Yale @YaleCancer @ynhhealth Congrats Samir!

Fifteen years ago, my wife, Salimah, and I met as graduate students at @Yale in New Haven. Now, in a full-circle moment, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the @YaleCancer and @ynhhealth to launch my independent lab in March 2025! @samirzaidi I’ll be based in the Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology and look forward to collaborating with incredible scientists like @BraunMDPhD, @ishizukalab, @S_J_Aitken, #CarolineMlynarczyk, #FrederickWilson and many others, under the leadership of @MuschenLab. I’m deeply grateful for the invaluable mentorship at @MSKCancerCenter ––from #CharlesSawyers @SawyersLabMSKCC, #MichaelMorris, @DrRosenbergMSK —who have guided me along this path. This transition wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and vision of @DrEricWiner. His leadership made Yale feel not just like an exciting scientific home, but a truly warm and welcoming community—one that I can’t wait to be a part of. Excited to continue seeing patients in my clinic at @YaleCancer, and of course, to introduce our two boys to some legendary New Haven pizza!

We have to stand up for science! Anyone who can join these rallies and believes that US science must be protected should come!

An essay in Politico today makes broad claims about the economic data being "wrong" and asserts that, therefore, voters were correct to think that the economy was performing poorly last year. Let's go through the data in this 🧵

The more I think about it, the more I think 2013-era morality is pretty much correct: * free speech good * starting companies and making good products good * monopolies bad, vendor lock-in bad * democracy good * greed bad * trying to achieve national security through oppressing people bad * cosmopolitan humanitarian values, caring about faraway people, etc good Things we've "learned" since then have been harmful more than helpful

@mattyglesias Some may call it a party fowl

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Congrats @Dr_KatieM and team at @DanaFarber on the wonderful work published in @SciImmunology today science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In a study published in @SciImmunology, led by @Dr_KatieM, @DanaFarber researchers have identified key factors that contribute to the success of donor lymphocyte infusion to treat relapse of acute myeloid leukemia after stem cell transplant. Read more: bit.ly/4hurQQg

@jkagan1 @harvardmed @Anh_Immunology Congrats Dr!

Introducing Dr. Anh Cao! So proud of this outstanding scientist, who defended his thesis today. @harvardmed @Anh_Immunology

Wonderful piece @vcunningham and congrats on the new kid! Merry Christmas! 🎄

@Jesse_A_White Congrats, great place to train!
