Sounds ominous.

Rumors are that “it” is likely to happen Tuesday, but no one is sure was “it” is. Prepare and push back any way you can. Senators and reps, especially in red states, need to know how much we think is at stake, not for us but for everybody in the US and the world. cont..

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Goes without saying for scientists: This means Musk and his kids have access to grant applications, study section reports, internal scoring, RPPRs. The core of the best ideas in US science. Will they steal those ideas? #scicomm #neuroskyence #evodevo #publichealth 🧪🧑‍🔬

NEW from inside NIH: I am hearing that a “young” DOGE staffer now has access to eRA, the software system used to track/administer all NIH grants.

Are you interested in a postdoc with our group studying cancer immunometabolism? If you’re at #KSTcells25 @keystonesymposia.bsky.social DM me and let’s chat!

Thrilled to be flying in to Vancouver to kick off our @keystonesymposia.bsky.social meeting on T cell differentiation in tissues! Excited to be meeting up with friends old and new and share some work tomorrow on how metabolites in tumor tissue can directly induce immune dysfunction! #KSTCells25

Why scratching makes a rash worse and a potential benefit to scratching--it reduced S. aureus on skin. Andrew Liu's paper from our lab is out now at #science #neuroimmune #immunology www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Scratching promotes allergic inflammation and host defense via neurogenic mast cell activation

Itch is a dominant symptom in dermatitis, and scratching promotes cutaneous inflammation, thereby worsening disease. However, the mechanisms through which scratching exacerbates inflammation and wheth...

I'm delighted to share a new story from our lab published today at @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social! In it, we describe how cellular therapies for cancer can be metabolically and epigenetically enhanced by redirecting how glucose is utilized during in vitro expansion. 1/ www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Redirecting glucose flux during in vitro expansion generates epigenetically and metabolically superior T cells for cancer immunotherapy

T cell therapies for cancer currently rely on extensive in vitro expansion in hypermetabolic conditions. Frisch et al. demonstrate that T cells grown in vitro perform extensive aerobic glycolysis. Rer...

One week from now we’ll be deep into our conference on T cell differentiation in tissues! Look forward to seeing y’all in Vancouver! #KSTcells25 @keystonesymposia.bsky.social

Congratulations to PMI student Andrew Frisch from @delgoffelab.bsky.social on his upcoming thesis defense! Nice work, Andrew!
