by the way, I do have an AI installed (grammarly), which I used once for a lay abstract, and now it just slides into everything I write. It wanted me to change "innocuous" for "wrong", hence completely changing the meaning of my post. Nice try, sweetie, nice try.

YES! I owe the success of a recent application to having imposed this rule on myself. Sometimes we think that we need to "game the system" and cram as many words as possible within the allotted limits, but we really need to make our writing palatable to a tired reviewer who reading it on an airplane

experience and confidence to come up with bold ideas (like the dish soap protocol!). When I was at Yale, most technical help came from post-grads who stayed just for 2 years. In France there used to be a lot of good positions with stable contracts for these profiles, but that's not so true anymore..

I wholehartedly agree, but do you find that having ingenious and rigorous publication-worthy protocols requires a certain lab structure? I feel that research scientists with stable contracts are key to that. They embody the living memory of the lab technological savoir faire, they have the (cont'd)

Thanks for all you do to put out tools that make flow cytometry better for the whole community. I've seen enough of those kraken-like plots to start thinking that spectral flow cytometry is just faux cytometry when it comes to three-way cocultures, but now I look forward to trying your pipeline!

Surely we don't have to imagine - there must be studies analyzing the demographics of Covid vaccine forgoers that can be cited. As for your second point, are you suggesting that those people died / fared worse from Covid and not from cancer? Did they discuss Covid infection as a covariate?

As for your point about people refusing the Covid vaccine being generally skeptical about medicine and in worse health, what are you basing it on? Especially in Texas, where the local politicians might have made vaccine refusal not exactly a fringe position..

Interesting points, but in Fig 5k they do analyze OS exclusively in patients that started ICI in the pandemic era (starting on 9/1/2020, 100 days before vaccine approval). And they still see the claimed effect.
