Big thanks to @cuanschutz.bsky.social for a profile of our lab's trained immunity work in autoimmune disease. March is #AutoimmunityAwarenessMonth and a good time to consider the importance of NIH @altnih4science.bsky.social and the agencies supporting such work. news.cuanschutz.edu/news-stories...
Do Stem Cell ‘Memories’ Trigger Autoimmune Disease Flare-Ups?
New research raises the possibility that 'memories' held within blood stem cells may trigger autoimmune disease flares over a person’s lifetime.

This is just a phenomenal new record from Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - really shakes up some of his well-worn tropes toward drone-inflected music by adding a talented cast of musical collaborators. Utterly immersive. Worth getting on vinyl. jefrecantu-ledesma.bandcamp.com/album/gift-s...

Since the new year, I've protected some time to get back in the lab and do science. With all the noise and confusion out there it's a wonderful experience to get focused and make some impactful discoveries again. A great reminder of why we do this.
