The most wonderful group of scientists, and now friends, to organize a trainee focused meeting to kick off SMR 2025!

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

I was about to tag @nucleosomepolice.bsky.social but she beat me to it. 😂😂

One of my cats is very regal and one is very much not. This custom poorly drawn pet portrait perfectly captures their dichotomy 😂😂

We are hiring! The Wattrus lab at MGH is seeking talented postdoc applicants to join our group and study differences in regeneration and wound healing across species using fish models. We are a fun group - come and join us! Fishy friends, please spread the word! #zebrafish #medaka #zebrafishjobs

My recent postdoctoral work is out today in @nature.com! We found that physical confinement makes melanoma cells more invasive and drug tolerant. Thanks to all who made this work possible @whitefishlab.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #NIH #NCI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I cannot even imagine having a new lab rn.... sending you good vibes!

Delaying until 2026 market to hopefully let this shake out a bit more. But def applying outside the US too. 🫠

oh I will resubmit! (tho the NCI is just going to be more competitive now...) but the hope of finding a faculty position is at an all time low

To resubmit my K or to not resubmit 😅😅🥲🥲

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

Very proud of our partner papers in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social and @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social from collaborative work in my lab and Benjamin Stanton's lab focused on fusion-positive #rhabdomyosarcoma. #TeamFishAndChIPs

Thank you for your patience!!

Now this was just rude @nytimes.com

I feel like he’s done an okay job so far in his career 😝😂

Camp Zon 2025 has officially kicked off! Bittersweet to be my final year directing this amazing program — cannot wait for the next two weeks! #Zebrafish #Outreach 🐠

Defund the police: something that never really happened, but everybody talked about.

Defund the scientists: something that's actually happening, but almost nobody's talking about in those terms.

WHAT. Below the minimum? When the minimum is not even acceptable?!

🆕 Our back-to-back papers reveal a surprising villain in ICB resistance: NK cells.

🧬 Targeting regulatory NK cells may boost T cell–driven immunotherapy.
