Quote graphic that reads "We are gravely concerned that American people will needlessly suffer and die as a result of policies that turn away from sound interventions. After careful consideration, we insist on Kennedy’s resignation to restore the integrity, credibility and science-driven mission of HHS and all its agencies." with AAI logo

We have joined @idsainfo.bsky.social, @asm.org, and 19 other medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, in calling for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to ensure the health of the American people.

Too bad that the timelapse we made of an activated CTL (green, Ca++ flux) and contracting BMDC (red/PI) was too low-res for the cover.

Thx @bloodjournals.hematology.org editors for highlighting our work (led by AFKamenetskii) on the

Thx also to Drs. Machowicz & La Rosee for their editorial

When “owning the libs” means turning your back on the most successful humanitarian act ever (vaccination), I’m grateful for an AAP with the courage and knowledge to step up.

It takes a special talent to observe the phenotype of an ETS1 super-enhancer deletion and see into the evolution of paralogous transcription factors.

Holy 🤯, @vahedilab.bsky.social!

When you love bicycles AND immunology, you gotta share it with like-minded friends. Beautiful AM ride through Belmont Plateau here in Philly with Drs. Hoffman & Platt. #CIS2025.

Crazy for Americans to be talking about IL-18 in Japan, but luckily @grantschulert.bsky.social already warmed up the crowd.

Next: Dr. Nishikomori (Kurume) - stability of somatic NLRP3 VAF in early vs. late-onset somatic NLRP3, capitalizing on 🇯🇵 tradition of keeping dried umbilic cord!!

Why in somatic CAPS does phenotype match genotype, not VAF? NOMID variant in 5% = NOMID, not FCAS?!

Trump administration purges U.S. health agency leaders Reassignment letters come as reductions in force begin at NIH, FDA, and CDC

Power-plays aside, this (science.org/content/arti...) is short-sighted

The backlash is building. It will insist on protecting NIH from future reckless sabotage. It will make NIH even more resistant to reform.

Playing an “ice breaker” game … the best possible prompt.
