Model describing how commensal microbes drive the accumulation of Monocytes to the neonatal skin. Depleting these monocytes in the neonatal window leads to an IL-1 dependent aberrant release of IL-17 from cutaneous T cells later in life. This renders mice more susceptible to psoriasiform inflammation in adulthood.

Excited, grateful, and proud to share our latest research published in Immunity. None of this would have been possible without contributions from all our co-authors, across institutions. Shoutout to @scharschmidtlab.bsky.social for her unwavering support over the years! www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

So glad to see this superstar, Dr. Carolyn Sangokoya, @rnahelix.bsky.social recognized for her founding of WPSS, which has been a huge source of support in my career path!

Anyone having issues with EraCommons also today? Was trying to submit grant review but haven’t had success getting on the website for a few hours.

Hi, scientists.
You're seeing what we all are:
USAID illegally blown up, 20 yr olds dumping code into the Treasury's seven-trillion-dollar payment system, Senators and House members joining protests at Treasury today...

It's a lot. It's a national crisis.

What should you do now? 🧵 🧪 1/x

Congrats @j-eyquem.bsky.social and William Nyberg (on Bluesky yet?)

Research supplements to support URM mentees are set to expire today. I met the person who developed this mechanism, Clifton Poodry, at an NSF meeting last fall; he is so inspiring. This supplement has funded thousands of mentees including myself. Devasted to see it canceled, and with no notice.

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab. Our first venture into dissecting how metabolism contributes to the distinct functional potential of neonatal immune cells - in this case naive CD4+ T cells and their capacity for Treg differentiation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi @claesengroup.bsky.social ! Mind adding me to this? I just got on Bluesky and trying to learn to navigate.
