@R_JimenezSaiz @Jordana_Lab @nkg2d1 @MacImmunology @machealthsci Thank you Rod!! It was a pleasure and a privilege to have you as one of my committee members :) I am grateful for all your knowledge and contribution!

It’s out! Check out our work that defines a type 2-polarized memory B cell subset that drives IgE responses in humans.

Researchers with @MacDeptMed have discovered a new cell that remembers your allergies. @jfekoenig @KellyBruton_ @ALK_net @allyssaphelps @McMasterU

@MannDelany I am grateful I got to work with you! :)

[Allyssa @allyssaphelps]

Delighted to announce that our study is out on BioRxiv. I feel very fortunate to have been a co-first author on this project with @KellyBruton_

Pathogenic IgE-fated B cell memory retains functional plasticity https://t.co/W9QbWhlAE0 #biorxiv_immuno

[Kelly Bruton @KellyBruton_]

Thrilled to share a preprint from my PhD work on memory B cell plasticity in allergy. The persistence of IgE immunity critically relies upon MBCs. In this work, we show that the reservoir of allergen-specific MBCs can be reprogrammed away from an IgE fate!

@Emily_YF_Feng As your roommate I’d argue you did not have fun. But they are very pretty

@McMasterU @Mac_HSGS @MacMedSci why are Biochemistry PhD students getting paid >$12,000 more than MedSci PhD students? @Ana_LPortillo

[Alexander Hynes @APHage_]

@Emily_YF_Feng Despite my appointment in Medicine, I take almost all my graduate students through BBS because they have more staff support. I have also paid my MedSci students BBS rates. I have raised these (and other) concerns at the IQAP review of the MedSci. You're right to push for better.

[Allyssa @allyssaphelps]

We strongly believe that graduate students deserve to be fairly compensated to match inflation, as well as feel adequately supported by administration. To begin to combat this issue, we wrote a letter to our graduate program @MacMedSci

[Emily Feng @Emily_YF_Feng]

We have written a letter to the @MacMedSci program and the Faculty of Health Sciences regarding the deteriorating academic, administrative, and financial support from our program and faculty. Please read our letter and sign if you support us. https://t.co/botyP1kIK0 (1/5)

[Ana Portillo @Ana_LPortillo]

Would love to see @MacMedSci follow suit
