For those in the San Diego area interested in donating physical goods for earthquake victims in Venezuela, Encuentro cafe is collecting donations today (3941 Mason St, San Diego, CA 92110). Most needed are first aid supplies, hygiene products, diapers, electrolyte liquids and non-perishable food.

Excited to share that our lab’s first preprint is now available! This work reflects a huge effort from graduate student Abeera Mehmood and coauthors! If you are interested in what B cells make all antibodies against norovirus take a look! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Fall US trips booked! I'll be speaking at Scripps, SfN, and ICCV 🚀 Who will be at #ScrippsNeuroSymposium2025, #SfN2025 and/or #ICCV2025? Lots of ☀️🕶️🌴 & 🧠 in Oct/Nov!

Happy to have our work highlighted on a day when we are celebrating #treg cells! These cells do it all, even modulate how we sense the environment!

Scripps Research Associate Prof. Xin Jin (@xinjin.bsky.social) has been named one of only 30 @hhmi.org Freeman Hrabowski Scholars, recognized for advancing genomic tools—including in vivo Perturb-seq—to map how genes shape brain circuits and uncover clues to neurological disease and brain health.

After many years of work I’m so happy to share our work on #scienceimmunology on how Treg cells modulate nociception to dampen skin inflammation! My handle will make a lot more sense now!🕵🏻‍♀️

Enkephalin-producing regulatory T cells in the skin restrain local inflammation through control of nociception

Regulatory T cells curb noxious sensory signaling to dampen cutaneous inflammation, a neuromodulatory mechanism for immunosuppression.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD
