Congratulations John! Science matters🎵!

Transposable elements as instructors of the immune system - Nature Reviews Immunology In this Perspective, Feuerer and colleagues consider how transposable elements (TEs) — which are mobile nucleic acid sequences in the genome — can impact diverse immune responses. For instance, transc...

Old & amazing way to shuffle the evolutionary cards, from bacteria & fungi to the immune system. #transposons: heavily used across labs, never tired of them. Discussed here through the lens of #immunology #evolution @natrevimmunol.nature.com

Season 2 🤩🍄🤩

The past several weeks have taken a toll on all of us. We wrote this before the thick fog fell over science, out now, highlighting the exciting collective progress in the area of #microbiota and #IBD. Hoping reason prevails—for the sake of all and the collective progress of #science

Many thanks!

Joining the blue!
