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

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

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 🧵👇🏼
