I love this. Inflammation is not an on and off switch, and thresholds exist for a reason!

Complement “decides” whether to attack a surface by distinguishing if the density of potential complement attachment points exceeds a threshold, which enables a percolation phase transition @cellcellpress.bsky.social

So proud of the first #RasheedLab graduate and my fav (& only) Masters student Rachel!!

I spent two years organizing an international conference. How do I get compensated for my work?
