So proud of my student, Ismaila L. Manneh, graduating today with PhD in Immunology from @lshtm.bsky.social
@lshtm.bsky.social launches its new MRes in Infectious & Tropical Diseases, a research-focused Master’s. It is based within LSHTM’s Faculty of Infectious & Tropical Disease. Strong option for intercaled students.

So well written.
Here’s the deal with the FY26 NIH funding bill:
One line in the 1000+ pg bill = significantly less science.
The increase to ~40% of grants moving to MYF is estimated to result in a 35% decrease in the NUMBER of NIH grants funded annually—moving the paylines from 10% to around 4%.
THIS IS BAD.
Wow! This is awful.
This is the worst of humanity. I also just read ICE wouldn't even let a doctor go and check on her. So so sad.
Blue sky day. Winter wonderland. Our first UK snow day 10 min drive from home. Happy new year! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
This is good news and about time too. Crazy to still be having chicken pox parties when there is a perfectly good vaccine available that will not only protect kids from chicken pox, but also reduce the horrible effects of shingles in later life.

Still time to apply and come and do modelling PhD on STI transmission and partner notification with me!
UK fees & stipend covered.
Get in touch to discuss before the application deadline of 14th January.

It's lovely isn't it? We are also here currently.
Excellent opportunity for a post doc in one of the best labs for TB Immunology.

I love your enthusiasm for science. It makes a refreshing change.
For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?
You got it:

Amazing, thank you!!
Excellent talk. Thank you!
