When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧

Llevamos 4 meses esperando la expedición del pasaporte mexicano a favor de nuestra hija; discriminándonos y violando nuestros derechos al pedir información innecesariamente a otras entidades en un proceso carente de transparencia. 1/2

Esta demora ha resultado en la separación y afectación de nuestra familia 👨‍👨‍👧🏳️‍🌈 debido a que nuestra residencia habitual es fuera de México y legalmente no podemos permanecer más tiempo aquí. Pido su apoyo @m_ebrard, @Candelaria___ ,@SRE_mx, @CNDH @CONAPRED para la resolución. 2/2

It is a sad moment to say goodbye to my #ERC starting grant. It was really lovely to almost have you. What is even more sad, is that it remains uncertain whether we will associate to #horizonEU and allow future UK scientists the chance to do great things.

Very nice work finding a CAR-T cell therapy option for T-ALL from my previous life @Marcrmansour lab, led by @paulmaciocia et al. Such a privilege to have been a small part of this exciting discovery. Amazing team 🫶🧵👇
New paper alert! A pandemic side project which turned out to be quite exciting, with @Marcrmansour @pa_wawrzyniecka @nicola_maciocia and others. We showed that CCR9 is a potential new CAR-T target for T acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). 1/10 ashpublications.org/blood/ar…

Failing to be vaccinated puts everyone’s lives at risk, so we’re calling for everyone able to be vaccinated to do so ASAP. With around 30% of ICU beds in England already occupied by COVID patients, we’re concerned about the future. Read our statement bit.ly/ICS_Vaccines

I loved this tweet, and made me laugh 😆. But I also think we should be able to cry anywhere without feeling ashamed. Our societies should be more open to show vulnerability.

To be clear. The ICU curve has not bent. We peaked at 420 on Jan 15, dropped to 354 patients on Feb 3....and are now up to 377. non-COVID care is being rationed. Surgeons are triaging their patients. RNs/RTs/MDs are running out of gas.
