Congratulations! Immunology is certainly the topic of today - I’m seeing this news whilst in an immunology session at #CrickCancerConf!
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

Reading Between the Lines: What Researchers Can Take from Funder Strategies
Strategic documents from research funders are everywhere - roadmaps, frameworks, updates, priorities. For early-career researchers (ECRs), they can feel like both opportunity and overload.
