@Tania_WattsUofT Cutie! Looks like he was a bit too curious around a paint can! 🤣

Congratulations to our very own Naren Mehta for being granted an NIH F31 fellowship! So very well-deserved!

[DukeIntegrativeImmunobiology @ImmunologyDuke]

Well done Naren! Looking forward to all the cool stuff you will learn about type 3 lymphocytes. https://t.co/iatDHjcClg

To help stem the autoimmune progression of #MultipleSclerosis, new research in mouse models of the disease suggests targeting integrin α3, which is selectively expressed by pathogenic Th17 cells. @MariaCiofani @DukeUniversity

Excited to share our recent publication in @SciImmunology identifying integrin α3 as a critical determinant of Th17 cell-mediated neuroinflammation. Congratulations to former student and lead author Eunchong Park! https://t.co/pfHIpa6unm

@GarciaLabMS 100% agree with you @GarciaLabMS. If you can’t be yourself and advocate for change without compromising your tenure, you’re in the wrong place.

@albertoxmartin I’m so sorry for your loss Alberto. I’m so saddened by this news. I will miss him terribly. He was a shiny star: an amazing mind and a true friend.

[Maria Ciofani @MariaCiofani]

@JenGommerman @CdnImmunol This is such sad news. Jim had a very unique and special way of looking at the world. He was a great friend. I will miss him too.

@KyleTheDavid I would have loved a credit card sized version of my doctoral degree for those times I needed to travel with the full sized version across the US-Canada border to renew my TN work visa.

[Maria Ciofani @MariaCiofani]

@ZJAyres One of my students has admitted that he performs experiments that I suggest even if he disagrees just for the pleasure of proving me wrong—I’m totally okay with that 😊

[Maria Ciofani @MariaCiofani]

@OferKedem @KWhiteheadLab I would argue that you can have two students in the same lab having very different PhD experiences.

[Maria Ciofani @MariaCiofani]

@thepenkpanther @scrippsresearch Congratulations Ale! What wonderful news—so happy to see you are doing so well!
