publication describing glycolipid-peptide vaccines for breast cancer! With thanks for funding support to BCF NZ @pinkribbonNZ https://t.co/vOCZDbnhrX

[Laura Ferrer @Lauretalila]

Yay! Our paper has been published in #oncoimmunology! It has been a long journey, using amazing technologies such as CyTOF and @spectralflow , and after 4 years, it is out and available! Thanks to all the co-authors! :)

[School Strike 4 Climate NZ @ss4cnz]

We are now receiving credible reports that 170,000 are striking nationwide. That’s an entire 3.5% of New Zealand’s entire population. #ClimateStrike #FridaysForFuture @GretaThunberg

"We want our message on Sunday to help people on Monday." Great article from @MaxBentleyTowle discussing how Christian denominations in NZ approach homosexuality and how welcoming is not the same as accepting.

Quite sobering as a 26 year old man walking by and seeing this used to be a reality #Vaccines cause adults people. #VaccinesWork #VaccinateYourKids

Fantastic news for Hepatitis C patients today

[RNZ @radionz]

From today tens of thousands of New Zealanders with hepatitis C can receive a free drug that will cure them. https://t.co/qprUCyl9Ph

Perfect end to the week being awarded the University of Otago PhD research prize. Massive thanks to my supervisors, Rob Weinkove, Ian Hermans & Brett Delahunt & all scientists & support staff at @Malaghan_Inst & @OtagoWellington. 💕to my family for their endless support as well!

Loved presenting my data at #CICON18 in NYC. Bit of a pinch me moment presenting the day after a fellow delegate was awarded the Nobel Prize.

[Arthur Brodsky, PhD @ArthurBrodsky]

Dr. Nicholas Restifo (@nrestifo) of @theNCI discusses a paradox of tumor-infiltrating T cells: that increased extracellular K+ can trigger caloric restriction & limit their effector function, but also increase their metabolic fitness & preserve their stemness. #CICON18

[Dr Olivia Burn @burn_olivia]

Celebrating these two science Gods at #CICON18 and their Nobel prize that was awarded today.
