Awesome scientific highlights of 2023 review collaboration between my team led by co-first author Dr Meg Taylor WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) and Shivali Chinni from Kylie Quinn immunotherapy lab RMIT University on the Virtues & Vices of CD4 CAR-T cells ICB - the journal 🔬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Very excited that my ICB - the journal Future Challenges article is out! Here I describe the development of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology Mentoring Program, facilitated by Jennifer Habel 🇺🇦 and myself Immunology Group of Victoria. Hopefully this is a useful resource for other societies! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Come join me & Anne La Flamme as we chair the #ASI2023NZ ICB - the journal 100th birthday session today - hear about the history of ICB, the impact it’s made to immunology research and ask our editorial panel about publishing Adrian Liston Dr Susanne Heinzel Gabrielle Belz Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology

Science is not a boys game or a girls game. It’s everyone’s game! Millennium Science Thanks Ingrid Dudnik and Marta Gabryelska for spreading the word for #equity #diversity in science #ASI2023NZ Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology

With Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology #ASI2023NZ kicking off this week, take 5 minutes to hear from Jo Kirman & Robert Weinkove about #immunology in Aotearoa (New Zealand), and the unique research diversity across its two main islands from University of Otago to Malaghan Institute 🏝️ 🔬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/im…

I had a hugely insightful discussion with Prof Clive Gray #IUIS2023 congress president about the #immunology landscape in South Africa, the work that still needs to be done to achieve research equity and its unique connection to community in science ICB - the journal International Union of Immunological Societies

Brilliant to see this come together for a 2nd year in the row WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute). Behind the scenes: a bunch of super motivated and talented graduate students who worked together to pull this day off! Now to enjoy the science.

At a time when women weren’t awarded PhDs, Ms Dora Lush WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) made fundamental discoveries in virology 🦠 sacrificing her life for science when she pricked her finger with scrub typhus, asking colleagues to sample & investigate her blood until she succumbed #womeninSTEM

Very excited to have the first ICB - the journal Monash University #Sensory_Science Special Feature article published

Kim Good-Jacobson lab discuss how they designed tactile models of #autoimmunity for vision diverse people

Nice to see this write-up about the research landscape in my home country

When I spoke to my mum about the Voice, she was on the fence. With language barriers, it's harder to unite and battle misinformation.

I'm sharing why I'll #VoteYes . My Vietnamese isn't great, but it was nice to bring my mum on board & do this together.

Today I learned of the sad passing of Margaret Baird’s husband, Steven. Although he never saw the article he coauthored with his daughters published, I know he thoroughly enjoyed reflecting on Margret’s academic journey, trawling thru old scrapbooks & telling tales. Vale Steven

I really think ICB - the journal is doing something special with its 'Pathways to Success' article series. There are just so many different ways to be successful for biomedical scientists, but it is hard to show that without giving solid examples:
