In an effort to support science migration to bsky - I am putting together a bsky Starter Pack of immuno-engineers, if you are interested drop your bsky handle here and I will add you to the pack. Starter packs let you follow entire communities so you can quickly plug in.

Ok also starting a Biomaterials Starter Pack for bsky - go.bsky.app/DymaVAp If you are a #biomaterials researcher and want to be added to the pack reply here with your bsky handle
