By uncovering the origins of a group of rare immune cells called Thetis cells, #GilliamFellow Yoselin Paucar Iza & #FreemanHrabowski Scholar @chrysothemisbrown.bsky.social are unlocking these cells' potential to help treat — or even prevent — food allergies & autoimmune diseases: bit.ly/4cnQpii.
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵
Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

learned about interslavic recently. its a conlang aiming to be mutually intelligible by nearly all speakers of slavic languages. really trippy to listen to, but i actually *do* understand it without any prior knowledge other than being a native russian speaker
🧪My PSA for the day. Colors are cool and flashy for publications but are not mandatory for figures. So if you're going to use them make sure to they are accessible for those of us who are color deficient/blind. Here's one of the many options to consult: www.animateyour.science/post/how-to-...
The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars
