Even among healthy people, immune systems operate at different baseline levels. In our new Cell paper, we show that these immune states are stable over time and are associated with the gut microbiome. 🧵 @cp-cell.bsky.social #Immunology #SystemsImmunology

Probabilities are indeed a strange concept. I like to think of them as a confidence level of something happening, or how much of my own money would I stake on them being true (or in the case of an experiment, repeating the same result). www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why probability probably doesn’t exist (but it is useful to act like it does)
All of statistics and much of science depends on probability — an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is.
