nobody will remember: - your salary - how β€œbusy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - how quickly you solved the Mini Crossword - your daily Crossword streak - that time you solved Wordle in two guesses

New Insights from Abberger and Groom @groomlab @WEHI_research: @MirandaLyCo et al. (hubs.la/Q02n1Djg0) reveal that lymph node macro-clusters provide a spatial niche where CD301b cDC2s and CD4 T cells interact, promoting Th2 responses. hubs.la/Q02n1rgY0

.@MirandaLyCo, Shamskhou, and @MichaelYGerner @UW_Immunology show that early Th2 cell differentiation is driven via prolonged T–DC macro-clustering in lymph nodes and occurs in a skin site-specific manner. hubs.la/Q02n1fXs0 #LymphocyteBiology

The pre print of my PhD work with @MichaelYGerner is online! Check it out if you’re interested in Th2 cell differentiation, lymph node organization or both. Thanks to all who helped make this work possible πŸ”¬

Not my bee-obsessed family making our own 🐝 (incl. costumes!) for Halloween πŸ‘€ (yes, there are 8 letters, and yes, we randomly chose letters ending up with both an -ED and -LY πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ, and YES we really played and complied all the words we found (1 pangram!)) (D) OYREIWL @NYTGames
Happy HalloBEEn. Can you be a Queen Bee like us?

1/7 Excited to share @nadjsombati’s opus using genetic mapping to uncover differential isoform usage of Pou2af2, and its role in tuft cell differentiation and type 2 immunity in the SI. Critical contributions from @bendesky @natalieniepoth @baldridgelab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Can recommend X-lab outings!πŸ‘‡
Beautiful day by Lake Union for a lab date with @MichaelYGerner lab. Watch out @RamLabUW, you've got competition.

I don't know if you guys realize that there is now a (very famous) precedent for how saying publicly that you are a victim of domestic violence, without naming your abuser, is considered defamation

What an extremely powerful thing to designate time away from your own science talk for this topic. This is the kind of commitment that shows trainees: β€œI care. This is important. This is not on the back burner.”
Can someone remind me, was it Ben Barres that took to stopping in the middle of his science talks, doing a slide on gender discrimination in the academy and then continuing on? Do I remember that correctly?

Killer T cells are beautiful! This high resolution/rapid acquisition video of a T cell attacking a lymphoma cancer cell was captured on a specialized Lattice Light Sheet microscope with the help of my wonderful collaborators @HHMIJanelia. See more details in the thread below.

ALT This video shows a killer T cell with fluorescently-labeled filamentous actin (orange) vigorously engaging a lymphoma cancer cell (blue). The T cell adheres to its target and forms a tight connection with active membrane protrusions projecting from the T cell/target interface. This robust actin cytoskeletal activity only occurs when a T cell identifies a valid target. The activity shown in this video is slightly slowed down from real time. We are only able to capture this dynamic actin cytoskeletal activity using a specialized microscope that can rapidly acquire 3-dimensional volumes called a Lattice Light Sheet microscope, which was developed in the lab of Eric Betzig at HHMI Janelia Research Campus. This data is was captured in collaboration with Wesley Legant, Bi-Chang Chen, and Liang Gao.
