A huge shout-out to my grad student @RouseJoey in the Dept of @MCWmicrobiology who got his PhD dissertation proposal on Peptidoglycan in Lyme disease funded by the DOD! Wouldn’t have happened without help from our long-term collaborator and Co-I @jutraslab!

Academic publishing is atrocious! We all need to rise to the occasion! theguardian.com/science/2023…

‘Too greedy’: mass walkout at global science journal over ‘unethical’ fees

Really enjoyed this year’s meeting! For next year would be great to see a session on reproductive immunology, and one on sexual dimorphism in immune responses.

In 2014, one of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow’s companies quietly bought several lots on a residential street in Savannah, GA. The seller? Crow’s friend & travel companion Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. 🧵👇
