@ADiaz_PhD @SunnyShinLab @Penn @CAMBUpenn @Merck Thank you @ADiaz_PhD !!! ☺️

[Antonia Bass @antoniabass]

@SunnyShinLab @Penn @CAMBUpenn @Merck Thank you Sunny!! I’m so grateful to have had you as my PI and to have you as a mentor and friend! You gave me the best PhD experience ☺️

[Dr. Sunny Shin @SunnyShinLab]

Thrilled to have an in person commencement for 2021 @Penn graduates, including my former @CAMBUpenn student Dr. @antoniabass. We even had our own hooding ceremony! Antonia just finished a short postdoc at @Merck & started a new job in regulatory affairs today! So proud of you! 🎉

Before the @BlackInMicro Week project, I did not know a single Black microbiologist let alone a female Black microbiologist. Being apart of this week has been both inspiring and a gift. It has given me hope and joy. Now I plan to keep this positive energy going. #BlackInMicro

[Carolina B. Lopez @CBLopezLab]

Congrats Dr Fisher @DevinScientific for a wonderful defense today nicely summarizing our studies using defective viral genomes-derived RNA as vaccine adjuvant. Cheer from the LopezLab both past and present.

Hey @BlackinMicro 👋🏾
I’m Antonia and I study innate immune responses to Legionella pneumophila @penn in the @sunnyshinlab. I also just defended my thesis and became Dr. Bass one week ago! Happy #BlackinMicro week! #BiMRollCall #BlackinBacteriology

[Vanessa Fleites, PhD @FleitesVanessa]

Join us next week to learn more about training opportunities at @pennbgs!

[Jasmine Alexander-Floyd, PhD @dr_jancola]

Super excited that it's also #BlackInMicroWeek 👋🏽 Jasmine here! I’m a @PennMicro postdoc in the @SunnyShinLab and my research focuses on understanding how variations in bacterial LPS activates the human non-canonical inflammasome! #BIMRollCall #BlackInMicro #BlackInBacteriology

@ErinHarberts @ADiaz_PhD @SunnyShinLab @PennMedicine @PennMicro @ORDTUPenn Thank you @ErinHarberts 😁

[Antonia Bass @antoniabass]

@FleitesVanessa Thank you Vanessa! I remember that too 😂 time truly flies

[Antonia Bass @antoniabass]

@AliceaK15 @Penn_SACNAS @sacnas @pennbgs Thank you @AliceaK15 !! I’m so proud that our @Penn_SACNAS chapter is thriving and creating a positive impact!

[Antonia Bass @antoniabass]

@ADiaz_PhD @PennMedicine @SunnyShinLab @PennMicro @ORDTUPenn Thank you so much Arnaldo!! I still remember presenting my first poster at the annual Penn SUIP Research Symposium. I am so grateful for that opportunity that led to my PhD journey at Penn.

[Dr. Sunny Shin @SunnyShinLab]

Thrilled to share our new @cellhostmicrobe study! We found a central role for the alveolar epithelium in responding to IL-1 from #Legionella-infected alveolar macs by producing GM-CSF, which metabolically reprograms monocytes to amplify antibacterial inflammation. A thread (1/n)

[Igor Brodsky @BrodskyIgor]

Huge congrats to Xin Liu, @SunnyShinLab, & colleagues on this tour-de-force work in @cellhostmicrobe: IL-1-induced GM-CSF from alveolar epithelium is a key inducer of metabolic reprogramming & activation of innate cells to control bacterial lung infection. https://t.co/j37sm4OAkK

@Steph_Schreiner @SunnyShinLab Thanks Stephanie!! 😄

[Antonia Bass @antoniabass]

Very excited to share my first first-author manuscript on my research conducted in the @SunnyShinLab as a preprint on bioRxiv!! #WomenInSTEM #BlackWomenInSTEM
