Scientists can be classified as either Foxes or Hedgehogs; borrowing Isaiah Berlin’s famous use of the saying that β€œa fox knows many things, but a hedgehog knows one big thing”

Hedgehogs: Darwin, Monod, McClintock, Dawkins, Kimura..

Foxes: Wallace, Jacob, Brenner, Gould, Ohta..

Nutrient-driven histone code determines exhausted CD8+ T cell fates ACLY-deficient CAR T cells targeting the tumor-associated antigen disialoganglioside GD2 (GD2 CAR T cells) also resisted acquiring TEX-like properties, exhibiting reduced CD39 expression when co-cultu...

The fate of T cells, such as seen in exhausted T cells, is tied to nutrients. This introduces the potential of therapies directed at keeping T cell identity and function intact. (And the infamous Krebs cycle makes a comeback to my brain)

If your #NHMRC ideas grant was unsuccessful and you have a story to share about the impact of this on your #biomedicalresearch, career, team - get in touch. Federal DOH have asked #NARF to collect stories of impact of low funding. #SaveOzScience #DiscoveriesNeedDollars #EMCRs
