🚂 All aboard at Collaboration Station for a potential vaccination sensation!!! 💉🦟
2️⃣ awesome papers from many awesome people using the PRISM childhood malaria cohort!
1 of 2 concurrent papers just out characterizing anti-gametocyte antibodies induced by natural malaria that exposure potently block transmission = novel vaccination strategy

ICYMI and are looking for some 🔥hot off the presses🔥 weekend reading, check out work from @pjagannathanlab ft @perri_claire looking at the link b/w CD56- NKs and malaria clinical immunity! Find @prasannaj77’s tweetorial on our TL
Research links anti-malaria immunity in children to "high-maintenance" natural killer cells, how an alcohol flushing gene variant may raise the risk of coronary artery disease, and more in this week's issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine.

Shout out to @scienceTM for publishing our study describing how clinical immunity to malaria is linked to "high-maintenance" CD56-negative NK cells! 1/n @pjagannathanlab
Postdoc appreciation means DONUTS! 🍩
For the Feeney Lab, a lot of things mean donuts…but especially this!
@gnzacevedo and @justinelevan are the real treat though 🧡
Alas, the retreat is over! Guess it’s time for quiet reflection…😌
OR we could tell you that we’re looking for postdocs who like to go with the flow (the spectral kind, of course)! Join the fun here: https://t.co/C5kJFnQA5e
It wouldn't be an immunoretreat without the retreat part! A partial @FeeneyLabUCSF (and special guest Josephine Reijneveld from @SaraSuliman13's lab) working out those core muscles among the sea otters and the harbor seals
And in the name of tolerance, @MAD_Postdoc taught us that commensal bacteria calls on monocytes to keep the peace in neonatal murine skin ✌️Jergens could never !!
@RRiveraLugo showed us that L. Monocytogenes pulls a MAIT and switch, escaping MAIT cell killing by sneaking host flavins. ribDEAHT riboflavin-producers aren’t so lucky… who woulda guessed? ☠️
And from our pal @JRoncaioli in @russellevance’s lab: 🐭 have stacks on stacks on stacks of redundant inflammasome and caspase-dependent defenses against Shigella
…And also the UCB immunology softball team is recruiting
What a day! Here’s a highlight reel for our ✨visual learners✨

Ok we get it, you want words. We can’t tweet it all (so much top tier content), but here are some things we learned 👇
