Vaccines have health benefits you didn’t even know about. Get your flu shots yearly, and shingles shots as soon as you are eligible.

Studying neutrophils is not easy. Exciting to see that they can acquire longterm changes associated with epigenetic reprogramming.

Great meeting! The exchange with fellow Emmy-Noether-awardees is an extremely valuable feature that other early career grants lack! Thanks for making this possible @dfg.de

The human microbiome—comprising trillions of microorganisms—interacts closely with our immune, metabolic, and nervous systems. It influences directly our health.

On #WorldMicrobiomeDay, we celebrate the science that shows how much Microbes Matter.

If you’re curious what we’ve been up to lately, check out this feature on our recent work in Attempto!

Nothing like walking into work and seeing this—the colors are pure magic!

Excited to see this paper out. Durability is the holy grail of vaccine design. 💉 Here, we made the unexpected discovery that megakaryocytes, the cells that produce wound-healing platelets, can support long lasting vaccine immunity! #BiologyIsWild! 🧬🔬 Glad I could be part of this wonderful team!

CDC just confirmed the first severe case of #H5N1 in the US in a patient in Louisiana. This virus seems to be the same genotype D1.1 that is spreading in birds at the moment (so not the cattle genotype B3.13) that severely sickened the teenager in Canada. #IDsky 🧪

Brilliant work congrats to the authors!

Good point! Will definitely highlight the issues that still remain around using LLMs for coding.

I guess one of the main worries I gathered from blog posts and other sources is that students would not be able to judge more complex code snippets as they lack the experience and then just copy without knowing what the code is doing. Any idea how to prevent that?

So that would argue for introducing LLMs later on when students already have a good idea of the basics?

Thanks, Bryan. Yes, the ability to explain code is definitely a huge advantage vs a vignette!

Calling all bioinformatics experts: I’m considering incorporating LLMs (like ChatGPT) as coding assistants into a beginners class on omics analysis & applied bioinformatics. Are they a help or a crutch for early learners? What’s your take on the risks/benefits? #Bioinformatics #LLMs #CodingEducation

This is really horrific. These single cell reference atlases are widely used as is to train all kinds of models! This is one of the reasons I've constantly harping about uniform reprocessing & extremely careful QC of large atlases. 1/

The Immune Alliance Meeting in Nara, Japan. Bridging great scientific exchange and collegial friendship across countries. @dgfi_org @YI_dgfi #immunology

Fascinating findings: Immune system disruptions in cancer patients can persist over a decade post-treatment. We still know so little about the long-term impact of therapies on immunity.

Ah, now it worked. Thanks so much 😊

Hi John, thanks for your help and sorry to bother you. Indeed, on my end I don’t show up in the starter pack (I do see my account in other starter packs though, so it should generally be possible for my account to be added). Anything I can do to help/fix this?

Would love to be added if still possible. 😊

Thrilled to delve into the world of #immunology 💉 and connect with brilliant colleagues in the truely exceptional setting of #Nara Park! 🇯🇵 Deers are roaming the conference venue! 🦌 🏯 #ImmuneAlliance #DGfI #JSI

Thrilled to see this study! Three years ago, we uncovered an IRF/AP-1-driven epigenetic program boosting antiviral resistance after flu vaccination. Amazing to see similar myeloid plasticity and reduced inflammation emerging beyond influenza. Immunology never ceases to amaze! 😊
