Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media Unlike most nonimmigrant classifications, which are admitted for a fixed time period, aliens in the F (academic student), J (exchange visitor), and most I (representatives of foreign information media...

Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days.

Whether you think limiting student visas to 4 years is a good or bad thing, please comment. Be heard.

#AIRRseq #Immcantation

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?

You got it:

Adoptively transferred Th17 cells cooperate with host B cells to achieve durable tumor immunity Cole et al. report that adoptively transferred, tumor-specific Th17 cells engage host B cells and drive B cell proliferation and differentiation. These Th17 cells require B cells for sustained immunit...

🧵1/ New in @Cancer_Cell: Our lab discovered that Th17 cells must team up with B cells to eliminate tumors, and prevent it from coming back.

We are #hiring -- To clarify, this is for a second Postdoc position for the newly funded project.

We just received new funding to study human early-life B-cell and plasma cell immunity (including mucosal immunity to respiratory viral infections).

We are seeking a new researcher with expertise in B-cell biology to join our team! Send me a message!

Replaying germinal center evolution on a quantified affinity landscape Darwinian evolution of immunoglobulin genes within germinal centers (GC) underlies the progressive increase in antibody affinity following antigen exposure. Whereas the mechanics of how competition be...

Wanted to highlight our latest preprint--a huge effort by multiple people and labs, but led primarily by @wsdewitt.github.io, Tatsuya Araki, and Ashni Vora, in a very close wet-dry collaboration with @matsen.bsky.social’s lab at the Hutch

Opinion | Universities and the government: Which needs the other more? From public health to high-tech innovation, universities are the workhorses of national progress.

Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post.

Thank you, Wal! That's very kind of you. But I am not sure I can live up to that 😉

Working in Eliver’s group is an opportunity not to be missed! Outstanding, exciting research; wonderful scientist and person!

We are #hiring! Please help share!

This week, we celebrated an extraordinary scientist, my mentor, Lee Herzenberg. She received an honorary degree (with Usher :). We hosted a symposium in her honor with Max Cooper, alumni, and others. I was thrilled to share her incredible story with the young generation @emoryuniversity.bsky.social.

We are still recruiting a B-cell immunologist to join our team and lead projects funded by the Gates Foundation and NIH. If you are looking for a postdoc or a more senior Staff Scientist position, please apply!

Please repost to help reach out to our colleagues affected by recent RIFs. Thank you!

We also hosted a Herzenberg-style lab meeting between our lab and Rabin Tirouvanziam's (we both left Stanford to join the Emory faculty). We celebrated three generations of scientists from the Herzenberg family 😊

Please note that we are no longer recruiting for a Bioinformatician — we are now looking for a B-cell immunologist.

Did the NIAID Advisory Council meeting happen yesterday, 04/24, as scheduled? I believe it was presided over by Deputy Director Sarah Read.

@jeremymberg.bsky.social any news on this? Were they able to complete the final grant review?
