The vision that we all have something to learn and something to share has been a driving force during my journey thus far. The ImmunoThoughts Blog is my way to advocate for a community in which scientific concepts are shared in an accessible way. #ScienceForEveryone
The MIM symposium was the first conference I attended as an undergrad. It is a joy to still be part of the Montreal immunology community and to see so many amazing friends and mentors at the symposium every year. Thank you @MIM_immuno for the abstract award!

Recruiting for a postdoctoral position with the amazing
@MelicharLab! A super exciting and challenging project... makes me want to be a postdoc again!

NEW POST ALERT just in time for the start of school! Let's talk about T-cell education. Although the curriculum these immune soldiers undergo has only 2 main topics the process involving this education is intricate and extremely beautiful #ImmunologyForAll

Although “turning on” a killer cell is very important to fight infections, “turning off” these cells is just as important. We need a system that kills only what it needs to kill. Here is one way our T cells “hit the breaks!”

VERY excited to share my MSc work @jrfmricher lab! Here, we show that the inflammatory milieu induced during chronic viral infection impacts thymic composition, leading to the emergence and development of B cells in the thymus! W/@MelicharLab @LabWaggoner onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Congrats @ImmunoThoughts @jrfmricher: inflammatory milieu induced by chronic viral infection has long-lasting effects on thymic composition leading to the generation of a novel population of thymic B cells. Collab w/ @MelicharLab @LabWaggoner @HAFeldman17 doi.org/10.1111/imcb.12808
What an incredible feeling to receive the “I am very pleased to inform (…)” decision email on my first primary research paper!!! I still cannot contain my excitement 🤩🤩

The Pardy Lab is hiring! Looking for graduate students who are interested in learning about the role of IFN-γ in intestinal immunity. Great opportunity to be a part of a new lab from the beginning!
Projects, contact, and more info below!

What an incredible place to learn about my favourite organ and immune cell type at the #ThymE24 conference. I am very grateful for getting to know and learn from many outstanding scientists. Looking forward to presenting my PhD project on Friday!

The @MelicharLab from the @McGillGCI participated in the Défi Canderel last week! We had a blast while raising funds to fight cancer - you can still donate to this worthy cause: deficanderel.crowdchange.ca/…. Funds support the next generation of cancer researchers! Worth a watch🤣:

For the past 3y I’ve been a part of the CSI trainee engagement committee and have learned a lot from past/previous members on how conferences can foster the development of the next generation of scientists. It was a pleasure to write this piece with @ThisBrazilian and LShort
🌟New article on how conference organizers can craft meetings to best support trainees and how trainees can make the most out of the networking opportunities. Initiatives by the CSI were used as a model🤩 Check it out and let us know what you think!

One of my favourite scientists and my best friend is starting his lab today. Whoever is lucky enough to join the Pardy Lab will have the best mentorship/coolest science! Congrats Dr. Pardy for this insane achievement, you deserve it all!
Question… are you taking postdocs? 😇 – at Chambly, Québec
With the end of April comes the beginning of a new adventure!
Excited to share the opening of the Pardy Lab tomorrow at the Armand Frappier Centre in Laval!
Avec le début de mai vient le départ du laboratoire Pardy au centre Armand Frappier à Laval! @inrsciences
What an absolute pleasure to be able to learn and grow as a scientist next to such a fantastic group of immunologists! Thank you, #CSI2024 – at Banff, Alberta
What a beautiful place to learn! So glad to be back at the CSI annual symposium for the 6th time, to connect with incredible mentors and friends.
Looking forward to talk about TCR signalling strength and CD8T cell anergy today at Workshop 1 and tomorrow at poster 118! #CSI2024
I was scrolling through social media and saw an ad about some miracle smoothie that would promote better antibodies. Sadly, there is no such thing. But check out this #ImmunoThoughts to learn about a natural way our incredible immune system can do that!

To write this post, I talked to a fantastic scientist and friend, Anne-Marie Aubin, MSc, who did her master's at the @LesageS_CRHMR lab. As always, get ready to be amazed by the beauty of our immune system! #ImmunologyForAll – at Boston, MA
Special thanks to Dr. Maria E Gentile and Dr. Ryan D Pardy (@RyanPardy2) for providing the amazing confocal image for this post 🔬 – at Boston, MA
