The October issue of #ScienceImmunology is out!

This month's cover highlights a Review that delves into brain tumor development and examines factors contributing to the immunosuppressive brain tumor microenvironment. Learn about this and more: https://scim.ag/46HgHcl

This month’s cover illustration depicts distinct malignant glioma (upper left) and metastatic (bottom right) TMEs as collages of aperiodic penrose tiles overlaid on a stylized positron emission tomography (PET) scan of the brain.

It took decades for the work of Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi—the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology—to have clinical relevance. That and more of the best in @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Continued support for blue-sky research is essential to fuel the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top global infectious killer check us out. BSL3 experience not required. The NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD is an amazing place!

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

T&K-lisärahoituksen tavoite on luoda talouskasvua. Akatemia toteuttaa sitä omalta osaltaan panostamalla tutkimukseen, jolla luodaan kasvulle pitkäaikaista ja kestävää pohjaa. Tieteen monipuolinen rahoitus on kaiken edellytys. Ilman uusia, radikaalejakin ideoita ei ole kehitettävää eikä innovoitavaa.

Suomen Akatemian kilpailun kautta valikoituu paras tutkimus: tietoa, osaamista ja ratkaisuja Suomen ja maailman parhaaksi

Suomen taloutta uudistetaan määrätietoisesti kansallisen tutkimus-, kehitys- ja innovaatiopolitiikan kautta kasvattamalla niin julkista kuin yksityistä tutkimus- ja kehitysrahoitus...

These diseases require long-term studies and are not compatible with industry standards👉There is a need to transition to prognostic and predictive biomarkers.

To survive in science, one needs resilience and grit, as well as openness, courage, critical thinking, communication, project management skills, and luck, Ana Cvejic said in her introductory seminar today.

'You should leave academia,' Ana Cvejic's PI told her when she had just got her PhD. Luckily, she didn't listen to her PI, but instead made a brilliant career in science, and now we are proud to have her as a Visiting Professor.
