NHMRC say lifting the 10-year rule would reduce the burden on applicants to show evidence of career disruptions. They could just make that process easier. For example a 1-year eligibility extension for childbirth like NIH. No need to count FTE and leave dates. Just trust.

New from us
In the 2024 Current Opinion in Immunology: Tumour Immunology section, @benjbroom and I contrast the stem-like T cell niche in LN and TME to understand how to enhance vaccination and immunotherapy
Many thanks to @stefanispranger for the invite

Guys! I've opened my independent research lab 🎊
Incredibly excited to stress out a bunch of cells and see what cytokines they make 🔬👩🏻🔬🧫
And delighted that I'll be working with so many of my #Inflammation research hero's @Hudson_Research
