Check out this terrific paper by George Chamilos and colleagues on the role of albumin in defense against mucormycosis. It was a treat to write the preview with Katrina Mar.

Brilliant statement I’ve been very impressed with how @ameracadpeds.bsky.social has been fighting the horrific misinformation and science denialism peddled by RFK Jr & his minions

🎓 Huge congratulations to Kathleen Mills from the @fungalspore.bsky.social Hohl Lab on successfully defending her thesis: "Epithelial-Immune Cell Crosstalk Orchestrates Pulmonary Immunity to Aspergillus fumigatus" Her strong, dedicated presence in the program will truly be missed! 💫🧬
"You are my only friend in the debatable land of fungi” Wonderful quote from by Mary Elizabeth Banning, a self-taught mycologist who described 23 new species of fungi in Maryland in the 19th century. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/s... #MicroSky #IDSky #ImmunoSky

So happy to see this story come together. Check it out! Kathleen Mills and many collaborators - GM-CSF–mediated epithelial-immune cell cross-talk orchestrates pulmonary immunity to Aspergillus fumigatus | Science Immunology www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
GM-CSF–mediated epithelial-immune cell cross-talk orchestrates pulmonary immunity to Aspergillus fumigatus
During mold infection, epithelial-derived GM-CSF licenses neutrophil killing of fungal cells, leading to improved survival.

With more #MycoSky arriving here by the day, lets gather everyone and rebuild. Please let me know if I’ve missed out on you or anyone relevant 🍄🟫😎 go.bsky.app/FYRJn6M
OK, #immunology Bluesky LFG! If, like me, you're trying to reconstruct the vibrant scientific network we had at the other place, these starter packs are a great start: go.bsky.app/2bqX3T7 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/AjNpW2h go.bsky.app/SinqoJU go.bsky.app/DmphBCT
I'm co-chairing the 2025 GRC on Immunology of Fungal Infections with Salomé LeibundGut-Landmann. www.grc.org/immunology-o... 265 applicants for 200 slots - have to limit number of trainees per lab (max 2 if lab has NO invited talk, 1 if lab has invited talk). #MicroImmuno @therad-lab.bsky.social

The #MicroImmunoSky community is growing quickly. Are there others generating starter packs? Would be great to compile and link together...https://go.bsky.app/2bqX3T7
go.bsky.app/2bqX3T7 - please send me your @bsky.app handles to include in this growing community.
Starting a Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology starter pack on @bsky.app - please send suggestions and (self-) nominations. Would be great to build this community quickly.https://go.bsky.app/2bqX3T7
Need some rescue dog pictures! The best companions. Just wonderful and so comforting.
Recent IMP retreat hike with colleagues Ming Li, Alan Hanash, Sasha Rudensky, Andrea Schietinger, and Jayanta Chaudhury. Come join us on #BlueSky and add to the growing number of immunologists on the platform. Is anyone working on an #Immunology starter pack?
I am a transplant infectious disease physician with a laboratory research program in medical mycology and mucosal immunology, with a focus on Aspergillus, and in mycobiota science. I work at MSK in NYC with a wonderful group of graduate students, fellows, and postdocs.
I made the switch to Bluesky. Looking for ID community colleagues and friends.
