Biomedical scientists love to complain about the government underinvesting in research but the real champion of underinvestment in research is the pharmaceutical industry a $1.5 trillion/year behemoth w/ 20%+ profit margins that has been free riding on public research for decades

Excited to share the latest work from our team published today in @SciImmunology
We demonstrate that a viral protein can be engineered to rewire signaling pathways in T cells to activate STAT5 and determined that it prevents T cell suppression!

1. Yesterday in lab meeting we discussed the proper etiquette for how to ask for reagents. Obviously if a reagent is published it should (& in my lab will) be sent no matter how the request is made. BUT its professional courtesy to do so in collegial manner. Here's a rough guide:

@TrumanLab CellProfiler is the best

Neutrophil recruitment in muscle blood supply.

SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins administered via the nose in mice can interact with macrophages in the lungs, which draws in neutrophils, contributing to lung #inflammation. #Covid #Immunology https://t.co/SPoJFRVCFD

1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

Complain all you want about peer review @FrontiersIn, but its current manifestation is the logical extension of a toxic, dysfunctional and irrational publishing culture that treats papers as currency and continues to propagate the lie that "peer reviewed" means "valid".

@ardemp @NobelPrize Seeing as the normal 2nd career option for laureates (becoming a neuroscientist) isn’t an option for you, medicine seems like a decent fallback
