🧵1/ 🔬 A postdoc in numbers (and life beyond the lab) As I wrap up my postdoc with @mitchell.science at @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social, I've been reflecting on everything that’s changed since I started in 2021. A lot can happen in a few years…

so lovely to be at @cshlnews.bsky.social for the Systems Immunology Meeting. Great venue and even better science.

Congrats Okan! I’m using the old “stand one step down” trick here.

Thoughts from leaders of systems #immunology how mechanistic models can leverage omics/ML for deeper understanding of how our immune system works #sysbio @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-systems...

What unique insights can modeling approaches capture about the immune system?

The immune system, optimized by evolution to maintain health and prevent disease, is remarkably good at what it does. It detects pathogens and monitors physiological stresses with a sensitivity and selectivity that far surpasses that of man-made biosensors. It then mounts potent yet precise responses, enabling the body to maintain homeostasis amid varying internal milieu and external threats.

Do you like trees? Fancy quantifying tree shapes in terms of diversity, balance, average outdegree, etc. so you can compare them with each other or with models? Even if they have very different leaf counts? And accounting for branch lengths and polytomies? We have an easy solution for you. 1/n
