Thanks for writing this summary of sentiments I share but didn't know how to articulate as clearly.

This is a huge loss. Stephaun Wallace's work was so meaningful bridging gaps between the community and vaccine and STI fields. His voice and leadership was important to me personally in @fredhutch BIPOC Caucus meetings during the hard times of 2020. RIP.

New work from the labs of @JennyLund15 and @PrlicLab @FredHutch shows that the immune cell compartment in human genital skin expands and contracts following HSV-2 reactivation, and includes cells recruited from circulation and proliferating cells. bit.ly/3Pd8zrI

Happy to share this work that spanned the pandemic and 3 first-authors. Via high-parameter flow cytometry on genital skin biopsies just 10-20 mg in size, we found evidence of T cell expansion w/out exhaustion in recurrent HSV-2 ulcers. Grateful to the team and the participants!
Check out our new publication! We looked into the effect of recurrent or episodic infection on tissue T cell abundance, phenotype, and function. The field has a learned a lot from LCMV, but that certainly doesn't model all types of infections important for public health!

It's been online for awhile already, but check out our new publication! We demonstrate an early and innate-like role for memory T cells in protection from mucosal virus infection: jci.org/articles/view/162800

No K99 award has been made to someone at an HBCU and only 2 R00 awardees have started labs at HBCUs.

Ever since @JesseThorn made a "stay tuned" comment alluding to this on reddit, I've been hoping this news would come out about Max Fun. I love it and I wish all the new owners congratulations and luck. One of my fave companies 🥲. Become a member!

Congratulations new Dr. @MarleneKanmogne! Great job on Monday, so happy for you but also going to miss my lab buddy way too much 😢
My girl @MarleneKanmogne being the amazing scientist she is 👩🏾‍🔬!!! I’m fangirling so hard

Did you know many viruses affect the brain and cognition, some of them without even infecting the brain directly? And glia can play both helpful and hurtful roles in this process! Check out this review I wrote with @KleinLab_WUSTL on the topic: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

Yesterday I finished the four class diversity series offered by WUSM. I thought it was good. Today I read this heartbreaking story stltoday.com/news/local/colu…. My own dad has faced similar, and I still feel so angry about those times.

How do I square my institute promoting and hosting and making progress on DEI activities, while learning that a close affiliate suppressed footage and denied wrongdoing in this case? Efforts to make campus feel safe for everyone are undermined by stories like this one.

Would welcome advice here from @WashUMedODEI on how we employees can advocate for justice and prevent further profiling incidents leading to assault. This is a serious and embarrassing barrier to inclusive excellence.

Check out our new paper in @MucosalImmunol detailing a tissue activation signature in regulatory T cells in the context of mucosal infection. Lots of hard work from former grad student @britrax, plus @svicktorious, @ValentinVoillet, @PrlicLab, & others! rdcu.be/cRrJh

Thanks, thanks, and thanks! @etryn @AsheleyPoole , @BatistaLab and Sacha for organizing the best seminar/conference I have ever attended! One week of astonishing immunology talks with wonderful people in the beautiful Barcelona. Hope to meet you again in the next @GordonConf !
Turned out to be such a joy to co-chair the Immuno GRS with @AsheleyPoole in Barcelona. Grateful to have met so many wonderful people and really felt we built a new community of trainees and early-career scientists, much needed after so much isolation! Thanks to all attendees!
