Excited to finally share this story with the world. @ImmunoWellford spearheaded this study that I think proves olfactory immunity is “a thing” that vaccinologists will need to consider!

Check out our paper in @ImmunityCP! I think it’s pretty neat, read more in the thread below: Mucosal plasma cells are required to protect the upper airway and brain from infection https://t.co/icLdn2revE

Here's the thing. We have **NO IDEA** how to pick good graduate students. I served on admission committees for 10+ years, and chaired a few, and what I learned is that all the spreadsheets of grades and test scores and recommendations and essays and publications and interview rubrics are just an elaborate ruse to pretend we know what we're doing when we simply don't. Many of the most highly ranked applicants to our "top" program flamed out quickly, and tons of the students we summarily rejected have turned into amazing scientists. But in the name of creating meritocratic seeming rankings that are more about creating a workforce than great scientists (a system that anyone paying attention knows is bullshit), we've created a homogenous process adopted by nearly all institutions that has stamped out the one thing we should be striving for - given our lack of any clear understanding of what leads to success - a wide range of difference talents and experiences.

Amazing resource!! Congrats!

Our new publication from the @ordovas_phd and von Andrian lab in this month's issue of @ImmunityCP sniffs out what there is to know about nasal immunity and memory to viral infections https://t.co/kJVDdp0pez 1/8

Dr. Wellford started out his PhD with olfactory macrophages...and came back to them to finish strong.

[Sebastian Wellford @ImmunoWellford]

These macrophage populations differ in localization, tissue residency, phagocytosis, and cytokine production. Analysis of human OM also showed a correlation between mac populations and post-viral smell loss.

Another reason to care about the olfactory mucosa as an immune organ!

@SabanLab love it, but did you mention, "get very lucky"?

🚨Abstract submission deadline is just under 2 weeks away 🚨 You won’t want to miss this amazing week of #Neuroimmunology 🧠

Reminder: ESI policies were put in place circa 2006-2007 *explicitly* to try to get the age of first R01 stat down from 42. It was the reason the K99/R00 was invented. They have not succeeded in the least little bit on accomplishing this goal.

@SabanLab looks like they forgot a barrier... ;)

I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.

My latest editorial on AI in publishing. @ImmunoHorizons and why @ImmunologyAAI journals are the best!

Great to be back on NIH campus this week for CIG mini symposium. This "special" edition NIH pass now features prominently in my lanyard collection. Big thanks to Dragana Jankovic, Hyun Park for making it possible.

[Filiano Lab @FilianoLab]

Save the date for #GliaCamp2024. Another fantastic lineup with keynote speakers @PhiPop and @LehtinenLab. Same location at the beautiful Rigmor House in Chapel Hill, NC. Thanks to support from @ImmunologyDuke, @DukeBrain, @DukeCellBiology.

@lynchielydia @Ludwig_Cancer @PrincetonMolBio @Princeton Congratulations Lydia! Exciting

If you’re having post-Christmas blues and want to open another gift, check out our review on SARS-CoV-2 and the olfactory mucosa: immune response, smell loss, neurotropism, and vaccination!

@ImmunoWellford They were lenient but that one didn’t get past the copy editors.

[Moseman Lab @MosemanLab]

Excited to share our new review on olfactory immunity in @NatRevImmunol. @immunowellford and I hope that it encourages anyone working on airway immunity to consider the olfactory mucosa…the upper respiratory tract is not all the same!

My children “tried” to kill my wife before they were even born….and I was always surprised by the lack of mechanistic insight into hyperemesis and morning sickness. This is a super cool study! https://t.co/xuOnt99ROY

@LukensJohnR wow, even AD feelin' the pinch!
