Brian @uwaterloo.ca on @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social about our @frontiersin.bsky.social paper: www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm... #comparativeimmunology but getting the message out about #vaccines is crucial: www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic... @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

Finally, Jeff Yoder reflects on his career in #ComparativeImmunology, his path into PFAS-related research, and why the #zebrafish serves as a powerful model for studying the impact of #PFAS on the human immune system.

I visited Brian Dixon's lab @uwaterloo.ca
Our #comparativeimmunology paper in #FrontiersinImmunology is out now.
#Spoileralert #behaviouralfever might just improve #immune defence, but has some caveats.

It is a remarkable day for my lab today, #LZCI. Victoria Gonzalez successfully defended her PhD with flying colours.

Congratulations, Dr. Victoria Gonzalez! Bravo!

The marsupial nasal system: a review of its structure, function, and evolutionary significance, with a focus on wombats The nose or snout is an important anatomical structure of mammals. It is responsible for inspiration and expiration of gases into the lungs, temperature regulation and olfaction, and it is also essent...

🌍 Our #comparative approach can reveal conserved immune responses. We're looking forward to the discoveries these tools will enable in immunology and eosinophil biology. #ComparativeImmunology #EvolutionaryBiology 5/6
