Any idea about the NIAID? Are they not issuing anything?

This is a second of a 2-part episode on allergy. I discuss anaphylaxis at the skin and intestinal barriers with two incredible powerhouses - Steph Eisenbarth and Caroline Sokol.

Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.

Who is loving (the wasted hours) reformatting their Biosketch in sciENcv?! 🙋‍♂️

The formatting is atrocious. Anyone identify hacks to make it more palatable?

This episode was so much fun to produce! First up, I chat with Ashley Moseman about his recent work on nasal destruction during viral infections, followed by an in-depth discussion with Chrys Brown and Cathy Nagler on oral tolerance and food allergy.

Give this month’s Mucosal Immunology podcast a listen! I had a blast chatting with @chrysothemisbrown.bsky.social and @cathynagler.bsky.social about food allergy and tolerance. Also I chat with Ian Lewkowich about the #AIC2025 conference, and Ashley Moseman about nasal epithelium.

It’s #MucosalMonday and time for the latest @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast episode! This episode features gamma delta T cell work in MI from @edelblumlab.bsky.social; and an interview with @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social on microbial dysbiosis during #MutlipleSchlerosis

At the microbiome session for #AIC2025, leaning some great mucosal immunology!

I hope you gift her a scarf when she defends. 😁

Christmas movie, most of the events occur around Christmas, and the story wouldn’t work without Christmas.

When I was at NIH and shutdowns loomed, it was discovered that the administration was planning to shut down PubMed. The head of NCBI called the powers that be and pointed out that this would threaten patient safety

Who knows what will happen now

More than a leaky gut: how gut priming shapes arthritis Nature Reviews Rheumatology, Published online: 31 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41584-025-01282-1This Review discusses how alterations in the gut are linked to the development of arthritis. The authors challenge the concept of the ‘leaky gut’ hypothesis, stating that the effects of intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation on the immune system are distinct.

Happy to have compiled this review on the role of the intestinal mucosa in RA and SpA with my friends @kknoop.bsky.social‬, Joyce, Mario, and Kentaro.

We challenge the "leaky gut" hypothesis and why we shouldn't use that term that oversimplifies how our microbiome shapes immunity.
