We've been quiet, but we've been busy! Delighted to share that in recent weeks we have received 3 NIH R01s to continue our studies of adaptive immunity in the gut! As such, we are recruiting post-docs with strong interests and expertise in mucosal immunology and antigen-specific T and B cell 1/3

It’s out! Over the past few months, my colleagues and I at @unbreaking.org have been working to document the political, legal, and economic maneuvers the US administration has used to undermine medical research funding. We hope you’ll find it useful! Read it here:

Medical Research Funding: Timeline — Unbreaking

How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

Nothing makes you appreciate how much work went into a project quite like collating the source data. 📈📉📊

Just wrapped up the @bsicongress course "Omic data analysis and visualisation using R." 12/10 would recommend to a friend! The instructor, John, is GREAT! If you have wanted to get up to speed on R basics, sign up for the next round! www.immunology.org/events/omic-...

In 2020, the Thornton lab came into being, but things did not go as I’d planned! With the pandemic raging, Dana Costigan and I took to the CL3 to understand what was going on with the mucosal immune response to SARS-CoV2. Out now in Mucosal Immunology!!! www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

"We asked students several questions about the scheduling structure, frequency, and helpfulness of their individual meetings with their advisors. Frequent meetings were a positive predictor of nearly every aspect of well-being and productivity measured in the survey."

Hello, BlueSky 👋 Let’s try a thread. We need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university. American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀 First up: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

Why are tenured women feeling pushed out of the career they worked so hard for??? I expected most of the results in this paper, but that bit sucks. So. Much.

Super fun summary of research interests. Make your word cloud at scholargoogler.com. PS when it says I study “Cells” I’m pretty sure it means T cells.

In addition to immunology, I enjoy nerdy baking. This an mRNA vaccine jelly in honor of the Nobel Prize awarded today.

Katalin Kariko is such an inspiration! Her tenacious dedication to the dream of using mRNA in vaccines has changed the world.
