Hi #ScienceMastodon, I'm a physician-scientist and immunologist. Our lab studies how aberrant immunity at barrier surfaces drive disease. I have a special interest in type 2 immunity and allergic diseases, but am generally fascinated by #immunology and #biology.

I can believe that just by chance I am one of the 1st 3 views of this webinar by @bertozzi
Give it a look !

Check out this supplement! Can provide up to $70K to offset 'critical life events' including birth, adoption, or other caregiving. Maybe could help offset some of the burdens people have faced during COVID

Hello world. (Uh, something about bagels so you know it’s me…)

Can gastrointestinal hormones modulate our reward responses? @cecivez and I ventured into the available data and literature to find that
🎯 ghrelin enhances reward responses within the motivational circuit! w/ @nbkroemer

So happy to see that you can use a .gif for your header here. Having a little fun with that to show y'all the full look at one of my favorite microscope images of a #macrophage (#immune cell) in the process of slurping up the bacteria that causes #Lyme disease. Showing that here alongside my favorite single slice.

#Drosophila #Advent Day2: The other UK member of the melanogaster group is D. suzukii, or “Spotted Wing Drosophila” #SWD. A fearsome #soft-fruit #pest with a saw-like ovipositor https://academic.oup.com/jee/article/114/5/1950/6369578, Dsuz originated in the far east and has recently spread around the world https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/37/8/2369/5821433, being first recorded in the UK in 2012 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280066071_First_record_of_Drosophila_suzukii_Matsumura_Diptera_Drosophilidae_in_Great_Britain. Dsuz is very cold tolerant compared to its relatives, with a larger, darker, tougher over-wintering adult form https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ece3.6517

Wrapping up an Intro course with one of my favorite topics: Consciousness (C)!

I really like how @anilkseth parses the conceptual space of C in this essay (a precursor to his recent book, Being You):
https://aeon.co/essays/the-hard-problem-of-consciousness-is-a-distraction-from-the-real-one

There's:
C level (awake vs coma);
C content (awareness);
C self (that little person in our heads who is driving it all; free will).

On the topic of free will & the brain, do you know of references appropriate for early undergrads? (No Penrose please).

A Gull photobombs a panoramic view of Marseille. Marseille, a port city in southern France, has been a crossroads of immigration and trade since its founding by the Greeks circa 600 B.C. At its heart is the Vieux-Port (Old Port), where fishmongers sell their catch along the boat-lined quay.
