experience and confidence to come up with bold ideas (like the dish soap protocol!). When I was at Yale, most technical help came from post-grads who stayed just for 2 years. In France there used to be a lot of good positions with stable contracts for these profiles, but that's not so true anymore..

I wholehartedly agree, but do you find that having ingenious and rigorous publication-worthy protocols requires a certain lab structure? I feel that research scientists with stable contracts are key to that. They embody the living memory of the lab technological savoir faire, they have the (cont'd)

ChatGPT always asking you of they can help you with another, loosely-related question at the end of a productive interaction is the equivalent of MacDonald's employees always asking you if you wanted to supersize your order.. ad we saw how well that went.

Thanks for all you do to put out tools that make flow cytometry better for the whole community. I've seen enough of those kraken-like plots to start thinking that spectral flow cytometry is just faux cytometry when it comes to three-way cocultures, but now I look forward to trying your pipeline!

Surely we don't have to imagine - there must be studies analyzing the demographics of Covid vaccine forgoers that can be cited. As for your second point, are you suggesting that those people died / fared worse from Covid and not from cancer? Did they discuss Covid infection as a covariate?

As for your point about people refusing the Covid vaccine being generally skeptical about medicine and in worse health, what are you basing it on? Especially in Texas, where the local politicians might have made vaccine refusal not exactly a fringe position..

Interesting points, but in Fig 5k they do analyze OS exclusively in patients that started ICI in the pandemic era (starting on 9/1/2020, 100 days before vaccine approval). And they still see the claimed effect.

SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines sensitize tumours to immune checkpoint blockade - Nature mRNA vaccines targeting SARS-CoV-2 also sensitize tumours to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Kudos to @adamgrippin.bsky.social and colleagues on this exciting work on how the Covid mRNA vaccine - the one that we all got - strengthens the effect of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in solid tumors. If only mRNA vaccine research was not under attack.. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Looking for a PhD or a post-doc position? Here is a litmus test for you: ask the PI who writes 75% of most papers that come out of their lab. If the answer is them, start singing "Thank you, next, next" and leave.

An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title Schröinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."
