After 43 years of medical practice, teaching, and mentorship at UF, Desmond Schatz, M.D., is entering a new season of retirement. Though saying goodbye is bittersweet, we are honored to highlight his unparalleled leadership and devotion to patients, colleagues, and students at UF for more than 4 decades. Join us in celebrating Schatz’s outstanding career and lifelong dedication to preventing and curing diabetes.

This never gets old. Something every Gator should experience in the Swamp!

TCR specificity prediction is advancing rapidly. The central question is not only which TCR sequence recognizes an antigen, but also which TCR pairings make recognition possible & where is the binding boundary? Our new paper tackles this question. 🧵

Indonesia is destroying 2,000,000 hectares of one of the world’s most important & biodiverse rainforests in South Papua for sugarcane. 😡
The world’s BIGGEST deforestation project. 🤬
Everyone should be SO angry about this. It is OUR planet and we are losing wildlife forever!

hi students on the job market: i cannot stress enough that you should write your cover letter yourself. you would be shocked at how genetic and boring LLM-generated cover letters are, despite seeming sophisticated. we want to hear from *you*! applicants who do this stand out!

This is a little late, but happy to share our work with @DonnaFarber3 on transcriptional control of tissue adapation and effector function in infant T cells that appeared recently in @NatImmunol. Thanks to @hipcProject and @biohub for their support. https://t.co/pVn3ccxBJJ
