If I did not worry about future prospects for my trainees, I don’t think I would ever publish beyond pre-prints unless there were free open-access society journals.

Extremely pleased to share our new work in collaboration with the @bruskolab.bsky.social lab, where we leveraged one of the largest TCRbeta sequencing datasets to identify T1D-associated TCR-based signatures. Paper link and 🧵 are below. Incredible work led by @puneet021192.bsky.social.

I clearly feel more comfortable on the water than in the Arizona desert but it was a fun Thanksgiving in both places.

I was honored to talk to @evartesfaye.bsky.social about one community’s effort to stay put in the face of climate change. “The oyster reef is a living thing. … When the sea level rises, because oysters are growing on it, it will grow vertically as well, so it will continue to add protection.” — me
