With all these aurora sightings going on, here is a pic of #AuroraAustralis (southern lights) my brother took last night in Melbourne. Must have been a strong geomagnetic storm to be able to see from Melb’s latitude! Photo credit to my brother.

Happy to have a small contribution to this Science Immunology paper on tissue site adaptation of resident #MAIT cell based on multiple human tissues from organ donors! 😎 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

First dinner of the semester with my lab #MAITs Tsinghua SIGS 😎

Truly honored to be part of the Cell Press 50th birthday celebration!

Had a great week at the #ChineseSocietyforImmunology conference in Hangzhou! Let the love for #MAIT and #unconventional T cells spread 😎

It was a great weekend in HK at the 1st Greater Bay Area symposium on #uncoventional T cells! 😎 Thank you for the organisers for the kind invitation and for the excellent symposium hosted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK! We the #MAITs from Tsinghua SIGS had a nice time learning and connecting
