Since we are talking about Harvard (and a culture pervasive to pretty much all of academia) I think it’s time to recirculate this piece…

Allegations of rape, sexual assault, and safeguarding failures.

Read our investigation into Trinity Hall, Cambridge. A college with secrets.

Today our review of the role of PI3K in regulating T cell trafficking and adhesion is out in @FrontImmunol!
PI3K regulates these processes by recruiting a whole range of downstream molecules involved in trafficking and is of relevance to PI3K therapies.

Sharing our recent paper out today in @Nature with @damicollier @RealMcCoyLab @nihr@CambridgeBRC @emcat1. Pertinent given today’s discussion on booster vaccines in the UK for the elderly and other risk groups. https://t.co/nzj6i1vXDR

@2Bistheanswer I remember seeing some discussion more generally about how treatment might be affecting variant escape but can't remember where, sorry!

[Muge Cevik @mugecevik]

There are several reasons to think that the new UK #SARSCoV2 variant is an important one as it might be more contagious than other variants, but there are also some uncertainties. So much misinformation is being circulated, so this thread brings key data together. 🧵

One of my former students asked me for help with their biology final exam so of course I remixed @theestallion's Body song into #Antibodyody to teach a little about antibodies and the immune response. A quick little song from your favorite scientist #body 😂

Finally out today! Really excited to share our story looking at the interplay between the gut-microbiome and the spatial localization of liver immune cells! For a fun read: . https://t.co/9bbPxZ1Gyh

Do these macrophages just live forever then? Also no! when they die, they release the pigment into their surroundings, where, over the following weeks, it is taken up by new, monocyte-derived macrophages before it can disperse.

As an alum, I am withholding my support — including time, money, & volunteer hours — until @CarletonCollege demonstrates a serious, sustained commitment to dismantle racism and anti-blackness on its campus #letters4carleton #BlackStudentsMatter Read this: https://t.co/znpxv0wXUm

[Terah Venzant Chambers @DrTerah]

I stand with Black Carleton alumni for change and share my @CarletonCollege experience with anti-Blackness on campus. #letters4carleton #blackstudentsmatter read letter here: https://t.co/zZfWjbI2if

Too many senior white academics still resist recognizing racism https://t.co/TEnp7ugUw1

[Society for Neuroscience (SfN) @SfNtweets]

Frustrated and exhausted by systemic racism in the science community, six Black academic researchers discuss the effects of racism on their careers, their advice to white colleagues and how to achieve meaningful change in @Nature’s June career feature: https://t.co/1lBOHc0LL5

Please listen to @pedsmd2b. MEDICAL SCHOOLS: you’re losing out on diversity you claim to care about by forcing students to take mcat in person during covid and police brutality protests.

Students are risking their lives for this exam. MAKE MCAT OPTIONAL.

The U.S. is the accidental Sweden, which could make the fall ‘catastrophic’ for Covid-19 https://t.co/k8ScTecmHi via @statnews

Excited and proud to have these MD/PhD students representing MSTP @umnmedschool as next year’s Student Admissions and Recruitment Committee!

“But what will it look like on darker skin?”- A question I’ve often asked myself during my time at medical school

This constant cerebration led me to curate a handbook that presents clinical features on darker skin. I hope this resource shifts the culture of medical education.
