On 1/11/25 I'll be holding a 12 HOUR LIVESTREAM where I cover absolutely everything I can about glioblastoma, an aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer - all in the name of raising funds for St. Jude's Research Hospital. Wish me luck, and I hope to see you there!

Happening in an hour! If you want to challenge yourself to recreate the insights needed to make a Nobel discovery, come through!

GAH

BACTERIA HAVE TOO MANY GENES

THEY MAKE TOO MANY PROTEINS

I MISS MAKING VIRUS VIDEOS

Looking forward to what you've been cooking up!

New research has shown a light on a rarely explored subpopulation of neutrophils, ones that have the potential to tune the volume on microbial warfare, and the ones that may hold the key to a finer understanding of how infection works!

This enables the neutrophil to react quickly and with force to incoming microbes that don't belong in the body, but as battles rage on, neutrophils can unfortunately cause collateral damage

Neutrophils are a part of the innate immune system - the ancient department that thrives off of the mantra of "it it vibes like a pathogen, it is a pathogen" - as opposed the adaptive immune system, which takes the time to learn and identify new threats.

Neutrophils are tiny little guys packed with enough biotoxic material to cause a microbial apocalypse. They store these deadly chemical weapons (including bleach!) inside of these small, membrane bound components called granules (little bubbles in this 3D reconstruction)
