Our latest perspective piece is out now in @JExpMed! Here we propose that recruitment of immature B cells could contribute to human lymphoid tissue structure and function.

UK visa costs are some of the highest in the world.
Reviewing and addressing these high costs is a necessary step in attracting and retaining international scientific talent.
The cost of visas for scientists at our research institutes is set to rise by 44% in a year. This will discourage scientists from coming to work in the UK and take vital funds away from our life-saving research. We’re calling on the new government to make its #First100Days a #TurningPointForCancer, including by reviewing visa fees for scientists.

New analysis from the @royalsociety shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries.
Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5
ALT Bar chart shows the upfront costs for similar visa routes for researchers in the UK, US, France, Italy, Germany and Japan. UK costs are multiple times higher than other countries and the biggest factor for this is the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).

Visa costs for researchers and innovators to move into the UK are up to seventeen times higher than the average, according to new analysis commissioned by the Royal Society and undertaken by @fragomen, undermining our ability to attract global talent to work in academia and industry.

"A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact rankings."

Our paper is out today in @NatureCancer! We examine the functional relevance of PD-1 expression in Vδ1+ #gdTcells and demonstrate that presence of these cells within tumours predict clinical response to anti-PD-1 CPI, in patients with #melanoma.
