At least we won something 😂 Sunny Shin @jess_doerner Antonia Bass @Natasha03844805 Igor Brodsky

Feeling very proud to see former and current #PennSUIP scholars presenting their research at the Mid-Atlantic @sacnas Regional Meeting, hosted by Penn SACNAS! #SACNASchapters #SACNASMidAtlantic19

Proud of my awesome CAMB Graduate Group grad students Antonia Bass and @Natasha03844805 for presenting their research and contributing to #SACNASMidAtlantic19!

CONGRATS to Penn SACNAS for a successful Regional Meeting yesterday! These SACNISTAs did fantastic (& CRITICAL) work "uniting diverse communities through #STEM" via workshops, presentations, networking &more 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏼 #SACNASchapters Check out #SACNASMidAtlantic19 for highlights💫

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to mentor @Steph_Schreiner this summer! She gave an outstanding poster presentation at the #PennSUIP symposium. Proud of my fellow UCF McNair Program scholar!

Very excited to share my first first-author manuscript on my research conducted in the Dr. Sunny Shin as a preprint on bioRxiv!! #WomenInSTEM #BlackWomenInSTEM biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to my amazing CAMB Graduate Group PhD student Antonia Bass on her 1st first-author manuscript on bioRxiv Microbiology. I am so proud of Antonia Bass, and I especially admire her joy for science, perseverance, & grit!

I must have been psychic, more GBP fun! Look - GBP1 attacks and opens the #Legionella vacuole for enhanced pyroptosis! Now we know GBP1 opens #Toxoplasma and #Legionella vacuoles, but not #Salmonella inclusions in human macrophages. Super nice primary cell work, too.

Huge congrats to Xin Liu, Dr. Sunny Shin, & colleagues on this tour-de-force work in Cell Host & Microbe: IL-1-induced GM-CSF from alveolar epithelium is a key inducer of metabolic reprogramming & activation of innate cells to control bacterial lung infection. cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Thrilled to share our new Cell Host & Microbe study! We found a central role for the alveolar epithelium in responding to IL-1 from #Legionella-infected alveolar macs by producing GM-CSF, which metabolically reprograms monocytes to amplify antibacterial inflammation. A thread (1/n)

Super excited that it's also #BlackInMicroWeek 👋🏽 Jasmine here! I’m a Penn Microbiology postdoc in the Dr. Sunny Shin and my research focuses on understanding how variations in bacterial LPS activates the human non-canonical inflammasome! #BIMRollCall #BlackInMicro #BlackInBacteriology

Join us next week to learn more about training opportunities at Penn BGS!

Hey @BlackinMicro 👋🏾 I’m Antonia and I study innate immune responses to Legionella pneumophila @penn in the @sunnyshinlab. I also just defended my thesis and became Dr. Bass one week ago! Happy #BlackinMicro week! #BiMRollCall #BlackinBacteriology

Congrats Dr Fisher @DevinScientific for a wonderful defense today nicely summarizing our studies using defective viral genomes-derived RNA as vaccine adjuvant. Cheer from the LopezLab both past and present.

Before the @BlackInMicro Week project, I did not know a single Black microbiologist let alone a female Black microbiologist. Being apart of this week has been both inspiring and a gift. It has given me hope and joy. Now I plan to keep this positive energy going. #BlackInMicro

Thrilled to have an in person commencement for 2021 Penn graduates, including my former CAMB Graduate Group student Dr. Antonia Bass. We even had our own hooding ceremony! Antonia just finished a short postdoc at Merck & started a new job in regulatory affairs today! So proud of you! 🎉
