Happy to share our new NK cell resource in @NatImmunol: "Pan-cancer profiling of tumor-infiltrating natural killer cells through transcriptional reference mapping." https://t.co/UzENCpFWMv. @herknet, @AlinePfefferle, @AmirHorowitz @humancellatlas, @CoE_PRIMA, @UniOslo_MED

[Eric Vivier @EricVivier1]

Thrilled to announce the publication of our latest research in Nature Immunology. Joining forces with 20 laboratories in Europe and USA, we identified the three prominent NK cell subsets in human: NK1, NK2, and NK3: https://t.co/VMPTPpiLOV

What an absolute pleasure and privilege to interact with the @SNI_NKMeeting community in Oslo!

[Laura Ann Leaton @laleaton]

Our lab is hiring! Join us in sunny Colorado if you're interested in human immunology. Currently looking for postdocs and a senior research assistant

[Science Immunology @SciImmunology]

New work involving patient samples suggests that T cells, not natural killer cells, express the molecule called KIR3DL3. @CUAnschutz @PN0rmski https://t.co/EanmnCEI4y

Did you know there is NIH funding for available to support a student transitioning from a toxic or unsafe lab space to a new lab?

Faculty can apply for “Re-entry and Re-Integration Supplements”.

I had no idea this resource existed!

@PiedsSurTerre_ This is very common practice. Focus on what you think you excelled in during your time with former sup. ex: I'd like to recommend x for y position. My relationship to the candidate is.. They have demonstrated abc..qualities through xyz. experiences. ergo they will be a good fit.

[Prof Jo James @drjojames]

Just want to take a moment to bow down to @VikiLovesFACS and the tireless work she does countering disinformation around covid vaccination in pregnancy. With grace, and patience, over and over again, almost every time I open Twitter. Above and beyond 👏👏🙌🙌 #standingovation

[Malcolm Sim @mjwsim]

Check it out my latest paper on peptide-specific recognition by NK cell receptors. 👇👇👇👇👇

Share with me your favorite palettes!

[Emil Hvitfeldt @Emil_Hvitfeldt]

1/n I'm excited to announce that v1.5.0 of {paletteer} got on CRAN today, adding 188 palettes, and 7 new packages for a total of 2569 palettes 🤯

New work from out lab led by @BillyHPalmer !

[Ming "Tommy" Tang @tangming2005]

https://t.co/uRnkEq6Hnh very nice book using #rstats for genomics

[Laura Ann Leaton @laleaton]

@ChloeBSteen you've already seen this I assume @FanZhang_Jessie ?

[Laura Ann Leaton @laleaton]

Had such a lovely time at @SNI_NKMeeting #NK2022 ! As a young trainee, I particularly appreciate the accessibility and humility of leaders in the field and their group members at this meeting. So many thoughtful discussions and inspiring work shared. Future looking bright!

New from me:

On the day Elon Musk announced his Twitter takeover, 200,000 Katy Perry followers deactivated.

Marjorie Taylor Greene gained 90,000 followers.

Twitter confirmed to @NBCNews: It wasn’t bots.

Apolitical users fled. Right-wing users joined.

Take a look at this one, by me, out now in @NatRevImmunol!

It's called a garbage can, not a garbage cannot. Even if you feel like trash, you can do it.

Excited to share this work at @ConferenceEfi

[University of Colorado Immunology @CUAnschutz_Immu]

Congrats to our second year @laleaton who was selected to give an oral presentation at the EFI conference in Amsterdam! Laura Ann is mentored by Paul Norman and the title of her talk is KIR3DL1/S1 alleles impact infection, autoimmune disease, transplantation, and immunotherapy.

[Laura Ann Leaton @laleaton]

Come work in our dpt! Our awesome lab neighbor and collaborator looking for a postdoc

[Laurent Gapin @GapinLaurent]

Interested in iNKT/MAIT cells biology? Experience in single cell RNA-seq, ATAC, Cut&Tag and bioinformatics?
A post-doctoral position is open in the lab.

thank you PLOS Comp Bio!

[PLOS Comp Biol @PLOSCompBiol]

KIR3DL1/S1 alleles impact infection, autoimmune disease, transplantation & immunotherapy. These researchers created an open source program (PONG) to impute KIR3DL1/S1 alleles accurately from WG-SNP data in cohorts encompassing human diversity. @laleaton
