🌺 My Happy Sunday Post!⁣ This past Tuesday, we celebrated the πŸ§ͺ𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐚π₯ πƒπšπ² 𝐨𝐟 π–π¨π¦πžπ§ 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐒𝐫π₯𝐬 𝐒𝐧 π’πœπ’πžπ§πœπž 🧬🌸. In these onerous and uncertain times for both #science and #women, let’s hold on to a bit of #optimism! #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #Diversity #Education #Equity #Inclusion

Despite the current uncertainty of being a scientist, I am excited to share our manuscript demonstrating an interesting mechanism of how swirling motion of breast cancer cells align collagen fibers radially at the tumor-stroma interface to enable their invasion (1/11) @thechaudhurilab.bsky.social

#hiring #postdoc We are looking for a postdoc to work on anti-tumor gamma delta T cells in breast cancer metastasis mouse models. Apply here: www.gla.ac.uk/explore/jobs...

IT'S OFFICIAL! From today, @plos.org and its journals are no longer posting on Twitter/X. If you want to carry on hearing about great science in our journal, follow @plosbiology.org on Bluesky here: bsky.app/profile/plos...

There's still time to apply for this postdoc position in our lab. Ideally suited to someone wanting to develop some independent research, we have lots of new projects to select from! #immunosky πŸ§ͺ

I made a starter pack for mammary developmental and cancer biologists. Tell me if you want to be added or suggest colleagues. go.bsky.app/8ZbyV6c

New PhD opportunity in the lab with @profjudiallen.bsky.social and @douglaspdyer.bsky.social looking at interactions between ILCs and the extracellular matrix. Application deadline Jan 10th 2025 - spread the word Bluesky immunologists! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Our new preprint is here! We show eosinophils are retained in the bone marrow by everyone’s (our😊) favourite atypical #chemokine receptor ACKR2. #Eosinophil education of #monocytes promotes differentiation to #macrophages and bacterial elimination during E.coli #infection. Please read and share.

The mammary gland biology papers are coming out in force. This one examines how aging impacts breast cells. Given the ones a few days ago looking at rare aneuploid events in normal breast cells I’m going to need a bigger brain to absorb everything.

Very happy to play a small part in this new study from @drpetercook.bsky.social and colleagues, looking at how #dendritic cells respond to, and coordinate immune responses against, #fungal #Aspergillus spores to promote #allergic airway #inflammation. Lovely stuff! #ImmunoSky πŸ§ͺ πŸ„πŸ«
