Really happy to see this paper is out! It’s the brainchild of our dear postdoc Jonatan Ersching, who passed away in 2020. It’s not only a science story, but also the story of how we came together as a lab to finish what Jony started.

This work was published together with a study on similar concept but with a very different flavor by our colleagues at the Nussenzweig lab. Short-lived immunization GCs allow quite a bit of invasion too, just following a different set of rules. Check it out!

Time for the ol’ #ArtVsArtist2022

I’m hoping to carve out more time for creating silly animal art in 2023.

…maybe with fewer reef squid this time. Eh, probably not. I love reef squid.

@Rahimilab Avery actually got passed over twice, with two different discoveries, for the same reason (a putative protein contaminant).- Here's a good article about it https://www.jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(19)60918-X/fulltext

Thought I’d start a thread here on a question posed elsewhere: how do you find/recruit great people to your lab?

My listening through the embers of the year is the new 12-part BBC audio adaptation of Susan Cooper’s THE DARK IS RISING, with a new episode each day. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvp7

[it must be time for @neilhimself’s annual reminder that you can listen to BBC Radio anywhere in the world]

It's Christmas...AND the first day of #Invertefest!

Now-Dec 31, it's time to appreciate invertebrates. Not just squid, all of them.

Share inverts all week! In your backyard, in art, every single one.

Going outside & use iNaturalist?

Here goes the #dendriticcells merrily via #lymphatics taking antigens - the presents for #Tcells . Will they take them? What will they do? Best xmas card from #CellCartoons hope she comes to mastodon soon!

Good morning, may your holiday meals be as bountiful as for this fox who just waltzed by

Today as I was hiking I spotted a coyote about a half-mile away. The snow made it easy to track, and after twenty minutes of following paw prints, here was my reward.

Sharing this in case it's useful: I find that students often have a hard time conceptualizing quantitative parameters in genomics and popgen.

Here is a draft version of a cheat-sheet that I put together for my winter-quarter human genetics class. It's also part of a book that I am slowly writing on human popgen.

Corrections and other comments very welcome

We finally have new drugs for sickle cell disease. Why are so few patients taking them?
