🚂 All aboard at Collaboration Station for a potential vaccination sensation!!! 💉🦟 2️⃣ awesome papers from many awesome people using the PRISM childhood malaria cohort! – at Austin, TX
1 of 2 concurrent papers just out characterizing anti-gametocyte antibodies induced by natural malaria that exposure potently block transmission = novel vaccination strategy sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

ICYMI and are looking for some 🔥hot off the presses🔥 weekend reading, check out work from @pjagannathanlab ft @perri_claire looking at the link b/w CD56- NKs and malaria clinical immunity! Find @prasannaj77’s tweetorial on our TL – at San Francisco, CA
Research links anti-malaria immunity in children to "high-maintenance" natural killer cells, how an alcohol flushing gene variant may raise the risk of coronary artery disease, and more in this week's issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine. scim.ag/1if

Shout out to @scienceTM for publishing our study describing how clinical immunity to malaria is linked to "high-maintenance" CD56-negative NK cells! 1/n @pjagannathanlab

Postdoc appreciation means DONUTS! 🍩 For the Feeney Lab, a lot of things mean donuts…but especially this! @gnzacevedo and @justinelevan are the real treat though 🧡

Alas, the retreat is over! Guess it’s time for quiet reflection…😌 OR we could tell you that we’re looking for postdocs who like to go with the flow (the spectral kind, of course)! Join the fun here: lnkd.in/dgj-DxuG – at Pacific Grove, CA

Labbies in this photo are (emotionally) closer than they appear! 🦦🦦🦦 – at Pacific Grove, CA
It wouldn't be an immunoretreat without the retreat part! A partial @FeeneyLabUCSF (and special guest Josephine Reijneveld from @SaraSuliman13's lab) working out those core muscles among the sea otters and the harbor seals

Twitter thread! Twitter thread! Twitter thread at lunch! Here’s some thoughts on the morning sesh to munch on 🍿 – at Pacific Grove, CA

@RRiveraLugo showed us that L. Monocytogenes pulls a MAIT and switch, escaping MAIT cell killing by sneaking host flavins. ribDEAHT riboflavin-producers aren’t so lucky… who woulda guessed? ☠️ – at Pacific Grove, CA

And in the name of tolerance, @MAD_Postdoc taught us that commensal bacteria calls on monocytes to keep the peace in neonatal murine skin ✌️Jergens could never !! – at Pacific Grove, CA

Everyone should tweet @simon_j_cleary to see some of the most 🤯🤯 in vivo imaging of lung immune cells we’ve ever seen 🩻

And from our pal @JRoncaioli in @russellevance’s lab: 🐭 have stacks on stacks on stacks of redundant inflammasome and caspase-dependent defenses against Shigella …And also the UCB immunology softball team is recruiting
