Declines of ebony and ivory are inextricably linked in an African rainforest Loss of critically endangered forest elephants reduce the regeneration of a threatened species of ebony tree.

Ebony and Ivory - when you cannot get one anymore, you will also loose the other. A certain Steinway family should be worried (or maybe they are to be blamed?). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New work from the talented PhD student #RomainGailleton in the @angelettilab.bsky.social shows that the initiation of immune responses in nasal tissues is not restricted to GALT. Glad to have been part of it.

Ectopic germinal centers in the nasal turbinates contribute to B cell immunity to intranasal viral infection and vaccination | PNAS The nasal mucosa is the first immunologically active site that respiratory viruses encounter and establishing immunity at the initial point of path...

Our latest study by PhD student #RomainGailleton shows that upon #influenza infection, #Bcell can respond rapidly by forming ectopic #GerminalCenter within the nasal tissue.
The work has just been published in @pnas.org (1/N)

Chaos erupts in US science as Trump’s team declares freeze on federal grants The freeze’s effect on research is still unclear, but scientists fear ‘incalculable’ damage.

“It will be much easier to destroy the world’s greatest scientific ecosystem than it will be to try to rebuild it”

Scientists are worried about the long-term effects of the Trump administration’s actions
