Ok. I don't know who needs to hear this, but buckle up. Here's the deal. A thread 🧵

[Ala Stanford MD @alastanford]

Love when folks in #Philly are helping to spread the word to the nation. #988Lifeline. Thank you

[Richard Sever @cshperspectives]

No biomedical organization should hold a conference in a state that outlaws abortion.

Even paid internships often barely cover the expense of moving to a new place short-term. This is better than nothing, but some can't afford to move for a few months while not earning enough to contribute to student loans, family, or a long-term lease where they usually live.

[Dr. Sophia Reeder, PhD @SophiaMReeder]

Pay 👏 your 👏 interns 👏

[Dr. Sophia Reeder, PhD @SophiaMReeder]

We discuss this often in my grad school cohort group chat… it’s hard to justify staying in academia when doing so is a huge pay cut, and with inflation the way it is that career choice makes it very difficult to afford housing and other aspects of life

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

@hostmicrobe Yay! Congrats Dan! 🎉

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

@DeBroski1 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Amazing! So well-deserved - congrats Nicole!

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

Congrats @JoeFlowImmuno on this incredible paper!

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Tregs are T cells too! They come in different flavors and understanding what limits them is important for cancer, inflammation and infection. Congrats to @JoeFlowImmuno for this study on why Treg cells express PD-1. https://t.co/tgX3nYHYXE

@vaughandy @MorriseyLab How dare they do this to Athena after she's worked so hard (CONGRATS JOANNA that's amazing!!)

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

@hostmicrobe @pennbgs @KingOfPathogens Congrats to both of you, so well-deserved!!

@Caroline_Bartma This is Just Sin™️

[Edward Nirenberg 🇺🇦 @ENirenberg]

Can we please change how original antigenic sin is taught in immunology classes because it's becoming abundantly clear that nearly all people invoking it don't understand what it is

[Ala Stanford MD @alastanford]

4am 1st arrival, 9am started. Testing line here, fortunately vaxx line also long. If we test in the community, we keep folks out of the hosp. NO ONE turned away 700+ & still inputting data @WHCOVIDResponse we NEED supplies & support, $$ & personnel NOW. https://t.co/GTDxgm24W9

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

Completely agree - enthusiasm manifests in so many different ways

[Dr. Valeria M. Reyes Ruiz @ValeriaMReyes]

This is so important! Not having confidence during an interview does not mean we lack potential. I remember my first grad school interview and I could barely speak.

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

Ridiculous that we are 2 years into this and testing is still a bottleneck.

[Daniel Beiting @hostmicrobe]

We're out of rapid tests, and it looks like we won't be getting more. Every CVS nearby is out (drove to the ones that say 'in stock'....they're out too)

Doesn't. Bode. Well. #Omicron #COVID19

[Bonnie Douglas @DrTheWormLady]

Cutting out air travel entirely might not always be feasible, and Zoom can't completely replace in-person interaction - especially when it comes to networking. But I think it's worth weighing the potential benefits of in-person meetings with the environmental impact of travel

[Muir Lab @Muir_Lab]

Now that in-person meetings starting up, shouting a resolution into the void…climate change is already here. We’re not doing enough and if we don’t change, it is slow motion suicide. 1/4

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Well, this is another frightening example of a protozoan commensal "pathobiont" in our mouse colonies. Life finds a way. Commensal Cryptosporidium colonization elicits a cDC1-dependent Th1 re... https://t.co/jsiqZRPyxx

An awesome opportunity at my alma mater. Would love to see another worm lady join the department! @WiParasitology @herminthology

[Igor Brodsky @BrodskyIgor]

Thrilled to announce that the Dept of Pathobiology @pennvet has a Tenure Track opening in the area of infectious disease/immune response to infection! If interested apply here: https://t.co/K8hPGCFI6Y. We are super excited to recruit the next generation of colleagues! Please RT.
