One of the few events for women I’ve seen that consciously makes space for science moms. Incredible vision and inclusion by Adele Gabba and @sunhee_bae_ 👏

Wow!!!!! Chidiebere Ibe 𝕏, you are INCREDIBLE. I am so grateful for your genius.

Grant writing is a game. You need to understand the rules (written or unwritten). This is my somewhat arbitrary list of them: #1: Show excitement. If you are not excited, the reviewers will not be either. This is the most important rule. 1/10

December 23, 1867 Madam C. J. Walker, hall of fame businesswoman and philanthropist, was born Sarah Breedlove in Delta, Louisiana.

WOO for Wuo!🎊 Mike Wuo et al design a new probe to discover how the mycobacterial cell wall rearranges itself in the presence of antibiotics. Why won't the lipid bilayer just let these antibiotics in?? Find out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fun collaboration spearheaded by Mike Wuo with Eric Rubin Lab the Hung group Broad Institute, and the Garner group (Ethan Garner) to image the mycobacterial lipids #TB in the presence of #antibiotics (Rifampicin results in outer membrane vesicles below). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I could watch these videos all day! Mycobacteria are like:

Please retweet – thanks! Tenure-track position(s) - Immunobiology at Washington University in St. Louis is seeking candidates to continue the long and rich tradition of immunology at WashU! Come Join us and let us do some outstanding science together! facultyopportunities.wustl.edu/Posting/Detail…

This entire thread is **chef’s kiss**

Super fun collab with Mike Wuo. We image mycobacteria treated w/ a mycolic acid integration probe and see antibiotic-mediated ejection of cell membrane. Different drugs induce secretory vesicles with different morphology and immunomodulatory effects on macrophages #tuberculosis

Random non-random Friday thoughts: One of the nice things about working in a field where so many have made critical contributions is that I am under no illusions that my presence or eminence is required for the field to exist or thrive. In fact, I find this to be very reassuring.

Okie dokie, so I was asked many questions about how the mucosal immune system works recently so here's a thread all about that. Because of length, I have put most of the text in slides and tweets will be used to link the relevant sources🧵
