okay so now what

Hind Hussein, PhD @hindhussein.bsky.social · 16d

Hello everyone! I am a postdoc in mucosal immunology and I am looking for new postdoc position in Europe! I know a lot about gut mast cells, but also CD4 T cells and type 2/3 immunity in general. I've worked with single cell sequencing and neuroimmune interactions. Feel free to share! Thank you! ♥️🥼👩‍🔬

That's a wrap on #yBIS2025! Over 200 young immunologists came together for a day of science, networking—and yes, an unexpected fire alarm 🚨
Huge thanks to @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social, the Flemish Government & our 8 sponsors for making it possible 🙌

The do’s and don’ts of scientific image editing

Acceptable image-editing practices are partly a matter of common sense. But researchers say journals and funders could help scientists by standardizing policies.

Wow. "The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

My policy since the Trump reelection has been to avoid any news at any cost. I just somehow ended seeing the Trump-Zelensky meeting. I am happy to announce I will now go back to enforcing my initial strategy.
