What do 🍓🍓🍓 have to do with aging? Check out the Immunoschool program and see if you can figure out the 🍓related topic, inspired by research from @mattyousefzadeh.bsky.social and others on immune-driven tissue decline and new ways to slow, halt or even reverse it.

I know some deals actually get done there but convince me that JPM is not the Coachella of the biotech world?

There are two types of people in this world:
1. Good people.
2. Those who leave a spent K cup in the Keurig coffee maker and don't refill the water tank.

I just realize this morning, I'm #2. I live alone, no one else to blame.

The "biggest baddest" bias in aging research: A spirited GSA debate.

Sorry man, but fingers crossed for you!

First, pos-neg gating. Ideal controls are your actual antibodies on the actual cells. However different antibodies bind different cells (see: CD4 vs XCR1 below), meaning they have different backgrounds to control. AutoSpectral matches the FSC-SSC of each pos to a suitable neg: with results!

Looks like Hevolution is not funding anything (GRO, postdoc, etc.) from the 2024 cycle?

Pro tip: make sure your myNCBI profile is linked to your eRA account and that you link awards to papers directly in there.

Evidence for an energetic trade-off model linking inflammaging and immunosenescence in the US Health and Retirement Study and UK Biobank Later life is characterized by the development of chronic inflammation, termed inflammaging, alongside changes in immune cell profiles, or immunosenescence. While these features contribute to health r...

Right there with you.

It was a huge e-audience! Great talk as always and really cool science.

@dremilygoldberg.bsky.social Great talk today!!!

Didn’t think of that!

I guess they will make the postdocs ride out J1's for as they can?

I feel like institutions trim down their startup packages too if this became a thing.

Thanks!
