Bluetorial-Jim Watson
I met Jim Watson a few times but did not know him well. However, I was greatly influenced by his book “The Double Helix”. He was a complicated human being with some very, very bad features, but some good contributions.
What follows is my personal perspective.

Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed.
She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.
Excited to share some research highlights today during the neuroimmune sessions at KAI2025, beautiful day in Incheon, Korea

The President’s budget proposal basically ignored (as it should have been).
thank you!

#InterferonPower! Thrilled for our latest work @cp-cell.bsky.social! With @danielboehmer.bsky.social, we dug into tons of papers & created what we hope will be a go-to resource for immunologists & non-immunologist about type I, II, III (& IV😉) #interferons!

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Parkin and PINK1 mitigate STING-induced inflammation
This is so frustrating. In 2018 I remember thinking how this paper would transform my work since we were already looking at mitophagy. I have cited this paper in 3 of my papers between 2018-2020 and probably every grant application. This guy won a 2021 breakthrough prize in part because of this work

The numbers of women in science falls substantially at the transition from postdoc to independent investigator/ PI
So what can we do to prevent this?
One initiative we now organise annually at #EACR is the highly successful 'Women in Leadership' workshop ⏬
