okay so now what

Hello everyone! I am a postdoc in mucosal immunology and I am looking for new postdoc position in Europe! I know a lot about gut mast cells, but also CD4 T cells and type 2/3 immunity in general. I've worked with single cell sequencing and neuroimmune interactions. Feel free to share! Thank you! ♥️🥼👩‍🔬

The yBIS community is growing, and so is our momentum. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Leuven—we’re proud of what we’re building together and excited for what’s next 💙 #YoungImmunologists #yBIS2025

We had cutting-edge science, nice desserts and some very popular merch 👕 Thanks to all who joined us at #yBIS2025 and see you next year!

#yBIS2025 in numbers: 3 inspiring keynotes 9 selected short talks 1 session on science communication 1 career panel with our speakers 5 presentation awards Thank you to all who contributed—you made the program shine! ✨

That's a wrap on #yBIS2025! Over 200 young immunologists came together for a day of science, networking—and yes, an unexpected fire alarm 🚨 Huge thanks to @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social, the Flemish Government & our 8 sponsors for making it possible 🙌

Thanks @sinakarimimd.bsky.social ! Hopefully we can get more of the Erasme people to join eventually :) #yBIS2025 #Immunology #ULB #Belgium

Bravo @ybis.bsky.social for the great event!! Good science and great networking opportunity right at our door! Will be there next year for sure!

Is #ImmunoSky working now?

go.bsky.app/7zMmwNY Hi all, so nice to cross over to the light. Here is a starter pack for all things Mucosal Immunology! Exciting to create a MI community here. Let me know if you would like to join 👍

A fantastic initiative by @rodrahimi.bsky.social to bring us all back together and make it easy to find the immunologists! Thank you so much! We also desperately need a feed that brings in all our posts. It seems that #immunosky or #immunology feeds bring in a tiny fraction of the immunology posts.

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network Below are the links If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS
