1/7 🧵Excited to share my first pre-print manuscript from @Sutherland_Lab with @burr_marian resolving the controversial SCLC-Y subtype! Our findings suggest YAP1 is not a subtype defining transcription factor in SCLC. @WEHI_research @JCSMR

Big thanks goes to WESA, for without them, this wouldn't have been possible!

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

Third time lucky! For 2 days, @WEHI_research students were able to put down their pipettes and enjoy some time away from the lab. Organising the annual retreat has been a challenge, but seeing everyone smiling, making new friends, and having a dance will be a highlight of 2022.

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

Many thanks to @Dani_Boyd_ who's been an incredible extra pair of hands

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

We love CRISPR screens in the @Sutherland_Lab!

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

Great work @Maggie_A_Potts! Beautiful talk that shows the true power of CRISPR screens 🧬

[Alexander Szabo @AlexSzaboBiotec]

It’s impressive to hear presentations from senior researchers, but I’m always most inspired to see the work of rising stars ECRs like @Maggie_A_Potts in lab of @MarcoHerold_J @wehi @mscienceaustnz @10xgenomics

[Jin Ng, PhD @JinNg_1]

Help I'm stuck with this crew @RiustPascual @mjgmilevskiy @rkhyip @jamcdonald123 @LorneCancer can I crash somewhere else @DrMistyJenkins?

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

Thank you to all the facilitators, all GRs, @WEHI_research and @UniMelb whom without them, this workshop wouldn’t have been possible.

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

Last week I had the opportunity to help run a “Beginners Guide to Leadership” workshop, targeted towards graduate research students across The University of Melbourne. The workshop was designed to ignite conversations around leadership and allow GRs to upskill in this area.

[Jackson McDonald @jamcdonald123]

It has been a fantastic experience to be a member on the organising committee; to see this workshop come into fruition was truly spectacular. I have learnt a lot about myself and my place inside (and outside) the lab, as well as the leader I aspire to be.

Wow - cancer patients who took certain anti-histamine medications because of allergies responded better to immunotherapy. Turns out histamine binds to macrophage receptors, makes macrophages immunosuppressive, thus inducing T cell dysfunction https://t.co/x0dJJqhv3w
