How it started vs how it’s going…

On Sept. 1, 2017, I started as a new postdoc in @UMCDB and today I’m faculty. I feel truly blessed to have achieved what felt like an impossible goal, but I made it and the @SpriggsLab is officially open! 🥳

Let’s do this! 🦠🔬🧫 #NewPI

Lisa Abernathy-Close, Ph.D., a rheumatology postdoctoral researcher in @UMIntMed, found herself intrigued by science at an early age.

In honor of Doctors’ Day, here’s a closer look at the important research she and others are carrying out: https://t.co/ANg699WbU6

@gradydoctor Your compassion, your storytelling, your writings. The way you navigate…all of it. Thank you for sharing. I can’t help but be reminded of Dr. Paul Kalanithi. His essays and his book, When Breath Becomes Air. You channel something similarly special, powerful…urgent yet intimate.

New pub from the lab! Interesting data that suggests cutaneous B cells are most numerous in DLE NOT associate with systemic lupus. 🤔

Reviewers (rightly) asked for more information about the origin/passaging history of the virus we’re using— Coxsackievirus B3 strain H3 (derived from CVB3 strain Nancy). Sounds boring, but the answer is *wild*. 🧵
