Our modelling shows that Stage 3 plus masks would hold things in check (yellow line) but that Stage 4 restrictions are needed to bring things to a close in a month or so (blue line) 11/ 18

Wow @NHMRC Investigator grants deadline moved to February-March 2021!

Amazing! A great read in @ConversationEDU about the #superheroes you never knew about - #DetectionDogs! Learn more at #ConservationConversations webinar here: https://t.co/RtzqbCFg62 @ZoosVictoria @drmparrott @SciMelb @LaToyaJamieson

Our immune cells are powerful tools. @Mielke_Lisa @ONJCRI studies how they monitor and help fight #BowelCancer - and researches whether giving them a boost in combination with traditional #cancer treatments can enhance patient survival. @DayofImmunology #DoImmuno #immunotherapy

[Day of Immunology @DayofImmunology]

.@Mielke_Lisa is describing the gastrointestinal tract and how important immune cells survey the barriers of the gut. Look at this amazing images! #DoImmuno #Immunology #SciComm #WomenInSTEM

[Catriona Vi Nguyễn-Robertson @CatrionaNR]

Immune cells sense stresses on the barrier cells that line the gut and changes in the environment (e.g. diet & microbes). Their constant cross-talk keeps our gut healthy, but when something's thrown out, #cancer risk goes up.

Absolutely thrilled that our @DayofImmunology webinar has 200+ attendees this evening! 📽The questions are going through the roof! Wonderful discussions with @shalinhnaik @Nicola_L_Harris and Jason Tye-Din 👏 tune in next for @Mielke_Lisa

[LabBenched @LabBenched]

Next speaker is Dr Lisa Mielke (@Mielke_Lisa) from @ONJCRI on “Harnessing gastrointestinal #immune cells in the fight against cancer.” #Bowel #cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in Australia, & finding new ways to fight it is critical @DayofImmunology #DoImmuno

'Disruption of the microbiota in the gut caused by environmental factors are associated with onset of #coeliac disease - but #vaccination against rotavirus (+ other triggering #pathogens) seems beneficial #DoImmuno @DayofImmunology

[LabBenched @LabBenched]

Next up: A/Prof Justin Tye-Din from @WEHI_research on "The gut and food: when things go wrong". Reminding us that Australia is the food #allergy capital of the world - and the immune system is the common thread between all #allergies. #DoImmuno @DayofImmunology

Is that butterflies in you stomach, or do you just have worms in your gut? Professor Nicola Harris (@Nicola_L_Harris) and her lab are working to produce a #vaccine against #helminths @DayofImmunology @ImmunologyMU #DoImmuno

[Kha Phan @KhaThanhPhan]

First Day of Immunology public lecture’s on now. Listening to worm infection in the gut before dinner on Friday night is absolutely an unprecedented experience 😂
@DayofImmunology #DoImmuno

[Catriona Vi Nguyễn-Robertson @CatrionaNR]

Helminths like hookworm are parasites that live in the gut and cause malnourishment (or worse). @Nicola_L_Harris is designing a protective vaccine that encourages the immune system to produce antibodies that can trap them.

The basis for this is the different #nitrogen isotopes - those that form the nitrogen in the atmosphere are typically N15, which is different to the #isotopes coming from deep within the Earth at places like #Yellowstone. #3RRRFM #science

[Einstein A Go Go @einstein_agogo]

Researchers have found a way to distinguish between nitrogen coming from air and nitrogen coming from inside the Earth's surface #science #3RRRFM
