33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

Our lab's latest paper on peripheral tolerance mechanisms in skin is out now in nature. Congrats to Martina Damo for leading this and thanks to collaborators from Krishnaswamy Lab and Yale Dermatology. nature.com/articles/s4158…

😲 Time to revise textbooks 🤔 Title: "Transcription factors interact with RNA to regulate genes" "at least half of TFs also bind RNA, doing so through a previously unrecognized domain" cell.com/molecular-cell…

Clustering algorithms report clusters even when none exist. In single-cell RNA-Seq pipelines, novel cell types are often identified by clustering algorithms. Expanding on Kimes et al.'s work, we introduce significance analysis for single-cell RNA-Seq data: nature.com/articles/s4159…

As promised a short 🧵 on our latest work just out in Science Immunology! Spearheaded by talented PhD student Anne Onrust and Hi-C wizard @G_Stik 💪 What did we find? A central theme in my lab is understanding immunological memory in T lymphocytes. After a naive T cell has been 1/

Ever wondered how dendritic cells that have never been at the site of a challenge know how to drive the right kind of T cell response? We did, and it’s finally come together! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Science Immunology

“Collaborators welcome!” Today in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee FRS released the files that describe the idea for the World Wide Web. See the message that started it all: #TechHistory w3.org/People/Berners…

I just finished writing a survey on the history of open-source LLM research, spanning from the early days (e.g., OPT and BLOOM) to recent models like LLaMA-2. Here are three takeaways that seem to have the biggest impact on LLM quality… Base models make all the difference.

Why do some people have allergies while others don't? How does #eczema come about, and what's our DNA got to do with it? Fresh from her shows at the #Edinburgh Fringe, Sara 💙💛 🇺🇦 will explain at our free Doors Open Day event on Sat 23 Sept. Book here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/doors-open-d…

Judith Love Cohen, who helped create the Abort-Guidance System which rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts, went to work on the day she was in labor. She took a printout of a problem she was working on to the hospital. She called her boss and said she finished the problem and gave

Really proud to be Polish right now (doesn't happen often, for better or worse). Unbelievable to see the actual power of democracy (and a good measure of anger) in action theguardian.com/world/live/202…

I honestly think this is one of the most powerful ideas humans have ever discovered and it’s weird to me that we don’t talk about it as much as F=ma or E=mc²

This week #PreprintHub2 Katja Knapp and Javier Marchena-Hurtado will present the #preprint "Convergent evolution of monocyte differentiation in adult skin instructs Langerhans cell identity" from Marta E Polak + @BennettlabUCL labs at University of Southampton + The University of Edinburgh 🫠🙌👇

Saw this ad while shopping with my daughters. Ironically, it sums up perfectly what men pretending to be women actually do to women: -It makes men the center of attention in women spaces. -It makes real women faceless. -Women are expected to turn their backs & stay silent.

This research have identified key biological markers for a potential blood test to diagnose tuberculosis, potentially saving millions of lives. This simple test could revolutionize how we detect and stop TB, the world's deadliest infectious disease. 🌍 #Tuberculosis #WorldTBDay
