It is an honor to share the same Alma Mater @fopcu1 with this brilliant scientist @Mah1990Abdo!

What an amazing presentation by @Mah1990Abdo! Learned so much about the importance of fucosylation for CD8 T cell function! Thanks @Chrystal_Paulos for inviting such a rising star! (Fun fact; first time to meet in-person after many yrs friendship & 40 common friends!!)

1/17 To my academic colleagues who have not found the courage to speak out against genocide, but instead have decided to focus on their research. Maybe you think its not your place. Maybe you worry about the risks to your career. This 🧵 is for you, i do hope you will read it.
