It's finally out! The first paper of my PhD thesis @NatImmunol reveals a novel role for the ER protein PERK as a metabolic hub for immunosuppressive macrophage function. Key findings of this work below! (1/n)

Had the incredible opportunity to meet & talk with Erika Pearce at the OSU MII retreat this year. Not only did I hear a super interesting story about hypusine, but also how to identify poison ivy, how it mediates T cell responses, and what a pileated woodpecker looks like! 10/10

@IslamAlmsarrhad I don't think I know how to do that anymore 😂

[Lydia Raines @lnraines1]

Last week, I successfully defended my thesis! I was so glad to be able to enjoy that moment surrounded by my family, friends, and past and present mentors. Thank you all so much for your support over the years! I'm energized and ready to take on everything that comes next.

@LizethITamayo @BrandonL_Pierce Congrats Lizeth!!!!!!

The culture protecting power-based abuse and toxic lab environments needs to change. Students, postdocs, and early-stage PIs need to be empowered and supported. We need to be taken seriously, not retaliated against. “Maintaining the status quo” does nothing but drive out talent.

[Dr. Rebecca Burdine - (Black lives matter!) @rburdine1]

This really is no joke. People act like toxic environments in research is the price we have to pay for genius to succeed. But have we considered that there might be more success in positive work environments where everyone feels properly supported? /1

Our newest review on the role of the UPR in tumor and immune cells is now out! We discuss how the arms of the UPR work together or independently to promote tumorigenesis and also what might be next in UPR research @ImmunoHorizons

@DrSTANtheMAN @CureMelanoma I also just want the world to know that I've been heavily resisting the urge to meme this into that one scene from The Shining.

[Lydia Raines @lnraines1]

Thrilled that my mentor @DrSTANtheMAN was selected as the recipient of the @CureMelanoma Career Development and Established Investigator Award! But can we also agree that the crop on this photo is absolutely amazing??

@ApostolovaPetya @KeystoneSymp Can’t wait to hear your talk!!

[Lydia Raines @lnraines1]

I guess this is a good time to say I’ll be presenting my poster on the role of PERK in TAMs on Wednesday! Come see me at poster no. 2010!

[HoLab @PCHo_Lab]

Wonderful Keystone meeting (I really want to stay for the entire event😭). See so many friends and colleagues! Anyway, checkout @lnraines1 poster from my buddy’s lab @DrSTANtheMAN !

[Lydia Raines @lnraines1]

@PCHo_Lab @CChu_89 @DrSTANtheMAN Perfect! I’ll arrive late afternoon. I can DM you to figure out details
