If you're a postdoc interested in starting your own group, please consider the Dunn School at Oxford, UK.

It's a fantastic department and university for molecular immunology and all aspects of immune research!

Thanks @cardiffcouncil.bsky.social for failing to collect my recycling again. Dry, flat cardboard next to the blue sack is allowed per your own rules. Sort it out. You're not just wasting my time — you're undermining public trust in recycling when the planet needs better. 🌍

Food for thought 🤔

They are ready!

Trump and his henchman Musk treat America’s oldest allies as enemies. Britain can’t face that threat alone | Jonathan Freedland The president-elect’s hostility towards other democracies is already clear. There will be no special relationship with him: we should look to Europe, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

"Pause for a moment to note how the same Brexiters who once insisted EU refrigeration standards for exported kippers, which turned out not to exist, were an intolerable violation of British sovereignty are now untroubled by a foreign oligarch openly engaged in overturning a British election."

A timeline titled "The Golden Age of Antibiotics" shows when each antibiotic drug class was first available for medical use, with example antibiotics labeled. Classes are color-coded by their source: actinomycetes, other bacteria, fungi, or synthetic. Milestones include the first antibiotics (arsphenamines in 1910), as well as the discovery of many actinomycetes-derived antibiotics, such as streptomycin, and sulfonamides, penicillins, and tetracyclines. Data: Hutchings, Truman, Wilkinson (2019). Created by Saloni Dattani for Our World in Data.

Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly.

Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time?

So, I visualized it myself!

CD8 T cells recognize viral-infected cells and tumor cells and deliver a lethal hit to these cells (see YouTube video). Many receptors on the T cell are involved in orchestrating this process. Understanding this process is critical to not only general knowledge but also medical breakthroughs. 🧵

You may have heard of MAIT cells. We work on CAIT cells.
