Today is my first day back @EdinburghUni! I’ll miss amazing colleagues & friends @LydiaBeckerIII, but can’t wait to reconnect with the brilliant Edinburgh & @EdinUni_IIIR community - exciting times ahead!
Also, I’m stopping Twitter for a while, maybe for good. #FindMeOnBlueSky
I'm looking for 2 Postdocs and a Technician to join my team in @EdinUni_IIIR, investigating #mucosal #immunity & #inflammation during #schistosome #infection. If this sounds exciting to you, please apply! (deadline 19th Sep) 🪱🔬🏴

Second Postdoc position now live, closing date 29th September. This one is more for the sequencing/omics- interested and driven!

For obvious reasons, thinking about shutting this account down...sad about that, as I love the #immunology community here, but it's getting harder & harder to avoid the toxic white noise. Please, move to the sky blue place. Not enough immunologists on there yet...#Findmeonbluesky

This was a great discussion about the future of immunology! Well worth a read for anyone who wasn't able to join the meeting!
Wonder where immunology is heading? The 4th Immunology Workshop in Lofoten, organised by the Spurkland lab, sparked many interesting discussions! Check out the conclusions👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @anspurk @pawborowicz @ImmunologyKing @MichaelLDustin @EJohnWherry @KoretzkyGary

The “Atopic March” occurs when individuals with one atopic disorder are more likely to develop other allergies. The connection between #AtopicDermatitis and #FoodAllergy is reviewed here: mucosalimmunology.org/articl…

What if we could map every cell in the body, revealing its location and molecular identity? In this @NatureMethods perspective, we discuss the new era of 3D-omics by tissue clearing and AI, called Deep 3D Histology: rdcu.be/dNBe8 PDF: bit.ly/3WaD0QU 🧵👇🏼
