Kicking off another brilliant @britsocimm.bsky.social Congress with the Bright Sparks PhD session. Always blown away by the quality of the immunology research in this session!

So delighted to have had our first visitor to the lab, Javier Perez Garcia from CNIO, teaching me and Katrine new techniques!

This allegedly Labour Government are enacting new laws to suppress our democratic right to protest. This is outrageous. Their refusal to acknowledge the Palestinian Genocide and their suppression of protest against it will go down in history Fuck the government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Such a nice change of pace to be spending time here visiting Guadalupe Sabio’s lab! Also, such a fun place to do some experiments on my birthday before heading into the city for dinner with friends!

I know this is meant to be my professional account so excuse me for a moment when I say this. Fuck the British government. Fuck the gutless warmongers that we voted in, and who are complicit in the genocide being committed in Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

History just loves to repeat itself. One of the things that really gets me here is that Starmer’s Labour likes to take the moral high ground, as though they’re better than the Tories, when they’re every bit as bad as

It’s sickening to see the scenes in London. The police arresting peaceful protesters in their hundreds. This chilling overreach by a supposedly forward-thinking government has set a dangerous precedent & we need to start reminding them that they are public events & not our overlords

Thanks for setting up the feed! It could be like people are saying - a summer dip. Or, as you say too, that immunologists are just tired of social media for work. Either way, I’m glad there’s a new version of the feed 😊

I don’t want to move again either. I was curious though in case anyone had started using another platform & it was a bit more active there. The only other ones I can think of are LinkedIn and Threads and I don’t want to use either of those really

Are people still using Bluesky much for science or have you gone elsewhere? Noticed the #immunosky feed isn’t updating anymore & not seeing that much science on here lately 🧪

Waiting for the flight to @iuis-online.bsky.social Congress in Vienna, with @juanquintana.bsky.social for a week full of immunology and strudel! Glad that my talk is at the start of the week so I can then kick back and enjoy all the cool science!

I've just done an ELISA and the kit recommends a 4PL analysis... I have no idea how to do this and the company (very helpfully) doesn't give any information on how to do this. Has anyone got any experience of this and could give a hand? Thanks! #immunosky 🧪
