Chris Chui on stage at BSI congress 2025

Fantastic presentation as always from @chrischiulab.bsky.social on their most recent work with human viral challenges and immunisations at #BSI2025

Start of what should be a banging weekend down in the North breweries with good friends before heading to Liverpool for BSI congress

Mike is a fantastic scientist, highly recommended applying if interested.

So this year is the full commercial inflection point for Vegas GP, a marketing event that happens to include an F1 race.

A glorious selfie with the official MAHA lanyard seconds after I made it past Secret Service screening.

About that exclusive, "closed-to-press" MAHA summit last week with RFK and JD Vance: I got in.

Here's what I saw. 🧵 🧪

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Giveaways that you're in an applied physics department.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

What a game of cricket.

What is immunology? | British Society for Immunology

What is #immunology?

It’s the study of the immune system, protecting us from infection, disease & cancer. From vaccines to immunotherapies, it shapes modern medicine.

Celebrate #BiologyWeek by exploring how immunologists keep the world healthy 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 https://bit.ly/4nmt8zR

Microsoft's OneDrive Begins Testing Face-Recognizing AI for Photos (for Some Preview Users) - Slashdot I uploaded a photo on my phone to Microsoft's "OneDrive" file-hosting app — and there was a surprise waiting under Privacy and Permissions. "OneDrive uses AI to recognize faces in your photos.....

"Slashdot: What's the reason OneDrive tells users this setting can only be turned off 3 times a year?

[Microsoft's publicist chose not to answer this question.]"

Out at my cricket clubs anniversary dinner tonight and its such a wild vision of an alternative life coming out of Oxbridge. So many people in wealth creation jobs and an after dinner speaker .

Moving to Inkscape last year made me retroactively angry at how much time and money I wasted with Illustrator in the past. And that's before all the AI ick that has now.

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.

Now in #Science #Immunology, @drtesutherland.bsky.social & al report chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) make distinct contributions to airway pathology independent of #IL13- & #IL17 –mediated signaling in 🐀 #asthna model! CLPs orchestrate airway #ECM remodeling, & can be both protective & detrimental!

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.

Extremely happy to see our work out in #ScienceImmunology. We show allergen-induced ECM remodelling occurs independently of IL-13 or IL-17 driven inflammation. Rather chitinase-like proteins drive airway ECM accumulation & inhibition of Ym1 can remarkably reverse it. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So pleased to see our research out in #ScienceImmunology demonstrating that CLPs regulate airway remodelling during allergy 🫁 Really proud of the hard work and collaboration that went into this project 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽. Definitely one to check out for lovers of the immuno-matrix & pretty pictures👇🏼🔬

Aberdeen is hiring - Neuroimmunology Lectureship! Really exciting opportunity to join our supportive, collaborative and multidisciplinary Institute to carry out cutting edge translation research. Not to mention the scenery in the North East of Scotland is amazing www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacanci...

Fantastic three days at my first @emds2025.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to all the organisers for making such a successful meeting.

#EMDS2025 attendees - if anyone is looking for a postdoc position and likes what they see of #Edinburgh, please come and speak to me or @lizihegarty.bsky.social (poster 71) or @erinwatson.bsky.social (poster 35).

Looking forward to @emds2025.bsky.social in my home town of Edinburgh this week! Will be at poster 48 on Wednesday with our work characterising macrophage dynamics in severe allergic asthma models.

For anyone wanting to know more about this #postdoc position, I’ll be at @emds2025.bsky.social this week. Alternatively, you’ll find @emmersonlab-irr.bsky.social members @lizihegarty.bsky.social & @erinwatson.bsky.social at posters 71 & 35 #academicjobs
