Allegedly, a dozen eggs may soon cost $250 in Melbourne. Dear students of immunology & immunotherapy, spend your $ instead on the Melbourne Immunotherapy Network Symposium & Dinner (2-3 Sept, Pentridge Prison). You can translate without breaking eggs!

Ever wondered what the immune system looks like up close? With a technique called Spatial Transcriptomics, we detected ~20,000 genes in the spleen, and converted the data into a zoom-able interactive app with DEPT IT agency, to inform school kids etc about immune cells & health. Do you like it?

Yes. The situation at NIH is worse than the public realizes.
The #NIH is on track to be effectively ended as a funder of evidence-based research within a year.
That is not an exaggeration. The firings and consolidation announced today will create a new, MUCH worse NIH.

Saba Asad had to deal with COVID lockdowns, home schooling her kids, a tough mouse breeding program and more; yet 3 years later her PhD Oration on B cell scRNAseq in malaria was fab! Well done, Saba. Good luck with thesis submission. Read her pre-print work here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

First measles death in Texas. Unfortunately, not surprising. Number of cases likely to increase and we may see more deaths. A tragic, preventable death of a school aged child. But the outbreak is called "not so unusual" by RFK. Simply not true. This is both unusual AND preventable. #vaccineswork
