This allegedly Labour Government are enacting new laws to suppress our democratic right to protest. This is outrageous. Their refusal to acknowledge the Palestinian Genocide and their suppression of protest against it will go down in history

Fuck the government

Such a nice change of pace to be spending time here visiting Guadalupe Sabio’s lab! Also, such a fun place to do some experiments on my birthday before heading into the city for dinner with friends!

I know this is meant to be my professional account so excuse me for a moment when I say this. Fuck the British government. Fuck the gutless warmongers that we voted in, and who are complicit in the genocide being committed in Gaza

UK has ‘not concluded’ Israel carrying out genocide in Gaza, Lammy says

History just loves to repeat itself. One of the things that really gets me here is that Starmer’s Labour likes to take the moral high ground, as though they’re better than the Tories, when they’re every bit as bad as

It is. Like Blair and his warmongering

It’s sickening to see the scenes in London. The police arresting peaceful protesters in their hundreds. This chilling overreach by a supposedly forward-thinking government has set a dangerous precedent & we need to start reminding them that they are public events & not our overlords

It was a brilliant meeting! I learned so much and met so many new people! Plus, the city is beautiful 😊

Thanks for setting up the feed! It could be like people are saying - a summer dip. Or, as you say too, that immunologists are just tired of social media for work. Either way, I’m glad there’s a new version of the feed 😊

Thanks! Yeah, we had a channel too for immunology but it’s stopped working. Might set up a new one and see if we can get the ball rolling again

I don’t want to move again either. I was curious though in case anyone had started using another platform & it was a bit more active there. The only other ones I can think of are LinkedIn and Threads and I don’t want to use either of those really

Matthew Sinton 🏳️‍🌈 @mcsinton.bsky.social · Aug 23

Yeah, same, or I see they have accounts but haven’t been active in a long time

Are people still using Bluesky much for science or have you gone elsewhere? Noticed the #immunosky feed isn’t updating anymore & not seeing that much science on here lately 🧪

Amazing last day @iuis-online.bsky.social with talks on immune memory and stromal responses. It’s been such a great experience and can’t wait to meet colleagues & friends next time in Toronto for the IUIS 2028 meeting. It was a true pleasure to meet colleagues from all over the world, in particular

Waiting for the flight to @iuis-online.bsky.social Congress in Vienna, with @juanquintana.bsky.social for a week full of immunology and strudel! Glad that my talk is at the start of the week so I can then kick back and enjoy all the cool science!
