I've had two (2) days since the start of the war where I could feel my feelings. Below is a photo of what's around my aunt's house in the South. Didn't blink twice at this. I am dissociated out of my mind. How else could I keep functioning and churn out papers?

Now for a bit more realism. I've been on medical leave for two weeks, my adrenal glands were very unhappy with me for a good week and couldn't really stand up and do much of anything. I had to negotiate my leave because of #deadlines (this one is partly self-inflicted) #AcademiaSucks

If you want to help out, please reach out to yefis(at)efis.org. Such a task sure seems daunting, but we have actionable plans and we only need your help to get those in motion!

We launched the #ImprovingAcademia working group at yEFIS. Thank you to @gamonasterioo.bsky.social, Lyn Lim, Myriam Nabhan, and Laila Kulsvehagen for showing up and trying to improve things for everyone. #AcademiaSucks but we want to make it better, ideally together

Thank you to Maria Viola, Grégory Ehx, and Kirsten Maertens for agreeing to present keynote lectures and participate in our career panel. This is consistently the element that people enjoyed the most, and we will make sure this becomes a staple of our annual meetings! @ybis.bsky.social #yBIS2024

PSA: If you're organizing a conference, get yourself a cowbell. It sounds nice, it does get you to seem like a lunatic BUT it gets people moving (which is essential to stay on time) @ybis.bsky.social #yBIS2024

I would like to thank Anissa Zouzaf, Donovan Flumens, and Delphine Quatannens (none of whome are on 🦋 YET) without whom this event would not have been possible, as well as everyone else who has helped, however briefly, during those two years @ybis.bsky.social #yBIS2024

After 2 years of ideation, e-mail spamming, virtual meetings, and figuring out just *how* to make something like that work, the first annual meeting of Young Belgian Immunological Society happened @ybis.bsky.social #yBIS2024

We managed to get 150 people to join us, which is absolutely bonkers

If you're attending #ECI2024 come have a #PintOfImmunology on Monday evening! I'll be talking about my research on the #immunology of #IBS 💩
