Our labs study innate immune regulation during bacterial infection. We focus on interplay between mitochondria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Robbie Watson) and post-transcriptional control of macrophage activation (Kristin Patrick). Views are our own.

Excited to be reminded of all the reasons it’s an amazing privilege to be a scientist. Ready for #immunology2025.

I just made a list. I suppose you could organize by Reviewer, but I'm not sure that does much to help re-review, unless the reviews really broke down thematically (like, Rev. 1 hated the mouse experiment, Rev. 2 wanted a better data analysis plan)

A lovely birthday treat from the lab. So lucky to do science with these incredible humans.

Now that we've finally got numbers in the 🟦 place, its time for some content!
The Patrick and Watson labs have been at Vanderbilt for 3.5 months now! Research is up and running, we got our first rotation student, AND a Torchy's Tacos opened in Nashville. Who could ask for anything more?

Inspired by An Immense World by @edyong209.bsky.social, Miles and I just finished up a walk where I didn't interrupt a single smell stop. Really enjoying this fascinating look at how non-humans perceive the world!

Had a fantastic time at our first Cytokine Society meeting in beautiful Athens, Greece. Quality time with @carpenterlab.bsky.social was an added bonus.

Behold! The first ever Paraspeckle Symposium! Such a treat to meet paraspeckle leaders and to see tons of exciting work in this growing (aggregating?) field! Check out our labs' first foray into macrophage paraspeckles here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
