Computational immunology & data science enthusiast, fan of all things T cells & cell migration. Assistant prof @RadboudUni🇳🇱 I build simple models that are wrong but useful (artistoo.net), but am also interested in stats, scicomm, and cats.

Er staat ons een tsunami aan transgender personen, journalisten, rechters, advocaten, feministen, wetenschappers en ander tuig te wachten. Wat dat betreft blijft extreemrechts een wonderlijke stroming:ze zijn tegen vluchtelingen, maar ze veroorzaken er zelf een heleboel van: youtu.be/I3r1uG66J5E?...

While our bodies seem static, our cells are constantly changing shape or on the move during tissue homeostasis or wound repair & even more dramatically during embryonic development, during events like gastrulation. Defining how cellular machines mediate these events is a key task for our field 1/n

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Is this the pettiest it is possible to be in an academic article?

Feedback is in awe of the authors of a new study in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, and how they handled requests from peer reviewers

Anyone knows a good set of validated T-cell epitopes? Meaning epitopes that definitely showed a good T-cell response.

I've used IEDB in the past but maybe there are other valuable resources?

I really enjoyed my conversation with @hamiscalculated.bsky.social for the @smbmathbiology.bsky.social podcast #BiologyInNumbers. She has a delightfully poetic way of talking about how she approaches a research question.

I suppose now is a good time to introduce #BiologyInNumbers, a #SciComm podcast I have the pleasure of directing, producing & hosting. Thought up by then-President Heiko Enderling, it's a means to learn about @smbmathbiology.bsky.social and research from its members and the wider #mathBio community.

All the trains towards the protest against the budget cuts were full, so we’re taking a detour in this relatively empty train.

This plan will not save money. This plan will cost money. It will cost - EVERYONE - money.

#SameSameButDifferent! For too many years we overlooked sex differences in #immunology (& most trials are done in males). Check the new paper @ Strati, Facciotti, Lattanzi &co. We def need understanding more about sex-dependent differences in (onco)immunology! rb.gy/j5tre2

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multifaceted disease whose development and progression varies depending on tumor location, age of patients, infiltration of immune cells within cancer lesions, and the ...

Maar het gaat nu ook wel hard. Met nareis op nareis.

En de meesten komen van X en daar hebben ze genetisch toch andere normen dan hier.

Sommigen hebben zelfs een dubbel account, dus dan weet je ook niet waar hun loyaliteit ligt.
Zag hier iemand voorbijkomen die zichzelf een "bluesky elder" noemt met tips hoe om te gaan met mensen die men hier liever niet ziet.

How do T cells reach melanoma brain tumors?

Using in vivo microscopy 🔬🐭, we discovered a new route for T cells to enter the brain via distinct peri-tumoral venous vessels.

Hello World! 👋 Chasing bluer skies because the other place is not the fun it used to be... Looking forward to cool science: (computational) immunology / math bio / biophysics / data science / ML / stats / cell bio / scicomm, and more. (+ maybe some cat vids 😺).

I look forward to meeting ya'll!
