An ideal burn-rate for your budget is ~90%. Any lower, and you are probably going too slow. At 100%, you are in for nasty surprises (see below), while above 100% is only sustainable if you have ever-escalating grant successes. So how do we create that budget and spend wisely?

1/ A long standing paradox in my mind (from always seeing immune "strength" or reactivity drawn as a spectrum from immunodeficiency to autoimmunity) was resolved this year at #AAI #Immunology2025. WHY do SO many people have both simultaneously? Each infection brings risk of developing autoimmunity!!

When this came out, some of us who’ve looked at these kinds of data (T-/B-cell disease diag) were a bit skeptical. And then Damon and others dug in and looked at the paper’s data and found some issues that likely cloud the accuracy of these models. ML can be hard without good data. 🧪 #mlsky

The myth that vaccines cause autism is harmful to public health, not just because it lowers vaccination rates, but because it contributes to stigma and negative stereotypes about autism. My latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Debunked myths that vaccines cause autism are increasing stigma

A final take-home message: In biology, cells are not what they look but what they do. Cell lineages are human divides, and the remarkable plasticity of myeloid cells teaches us that biology works by instructing functional programs at defined times and places.
