Andre Geim is the only scientist to win both the Nobel Prize (Physics, 2010) and the Ig Nobel Prize (for levitating a frog in 2000). His secret? He says it was to set up an environment in his lab for doing experiments from a sense of play and a spirit for adventure!

Caloric restriction suppresses colorectal tumors and melanoma through CD8 T cells in aged mice
Caloric restriction suppresses colorectal tumors and melanoma through CD8 T cells in aged mice
Horino et al. identify CD8+ T cells as essential mediators of age-dependent anti-tumor effects of caloric restriction. They show that caloric restriction enhances CD8+ T cell function and is associated with normalization of the tumor vasculature in aged mice.

Human lungs maintain tissue-resident memory T cells against a broad spectrum of pathogens - Nature Immunology
Unlike in other tissues, lung-resident memory T cell populations are not well maintained in mice. Here the authors show that this is not the case in human lungs, where tissue-resident memory T cells specific to a variety of pathogens can persist for many years.
