[E. John Wherry @EJohnWherry]

New work to begin to understand infant pre-term immune systems develop and define the impact of early life infections. All towards defining the factors that imprint our overall #ImmuneHealth. Great work from @benfens

[E. John Wherry @EJohnWherry]

In an exciting collaboration with the #ImmuneHealth lab at Penn @benfens investigated the developing immune system of preterm infants. Even pre-term infants make surprisingly robust CD8 T cell responses to diverse infections. https://t.co/nwvfDFyghi

For any neonatology physician-scientist fellows that might be out there, @Jon_J_Knowlton and I are starting a hub to get us all connected. Please fill out this survey if you're interested in joining! https://t.co/LNqCO3UXFU

@McNewKL @CallMe_JN @BReinfeld @madden_mz Honored. Those interview days are a big deal! Haha. But it is you all that continue to make the MSTP the incredible program it is today! Excited to be lifelong colleagues and friends with you all.

Our very own @benfens (M4) hosts a science podcast called "But Why?" Check out his conversation with @VUMC_Vaccines Dr. James Crowe @croweje on emerging pathogens research: How do we identify the cause of new diseases? @VI4Research https://t.co/u0J2NkJCtB

@ReedOmary @DMAronoff Hey thanks! Agreed

[Reed Omary, MD, MS @ReedOmary]

Great example of using Twitter to share science. I would never have come across the great work of @benfens had I not followed @DMAronoff. Why wouldn’t all scientists want to amplify the impact of their work thru #SoMe? #MedEd https://t.co/QoSVhjsrAH

[Ben Fensterheim @benfens]

So honored that my recent work is featured on the cover of the Journal of Immunology. Those slides have come a long way. Check it out! @J_Immunol #ReadTheJI https://t.co/v6N3EXOrVa

@JoeLuchsinger @VanderbiltMSTP Hey thanks Joe!

[Ben Fensterheim @benfens]

@BReinfeld Ha! Thanks Brad

[Ben Fensterheim @benfens]

More of my graduate work has been published! This manuscript was a product of creativity, awesome collaborations, and a dedicated and supportive lab. A big thank you to everyone involved! #macrophage #metabolism https://t.co/uLoFez14SE

1 child under the age of 5 dies every 20 seconds from vaccine-preventable disease. Countless more survive but suffer through unnecessary & painful illnesses. There’s no question-vaccines are safe & save lives. @CDCgov National Infant Immunization Week #ivax2protect @AAPneonatal
