Thanks to @wo_jules & all the authors for their hard work on this exciting paper.
Happy to launch postdoc research with @meganmacleod15 @LIVE_iiiglasgow to the twitterverse/beyond 🙂 non-traditional 🫁 immune cells remember prior insults and act to protect the host after re-infection! @UofGSii @CVRinfo @CRUK_SI @y_efis @wsigimmunol

This is a fun video from @britsocimm talking about how vaccines work. We have to train our immune systems to know how best to fight against the bugs we meet, protecting ourselves and those around us. #vaccineconversations
Do you know how #vaccines work? 🤔 Our animation with @NHSEngland explains how vaccines train our #ImmuneSystem to protect us against serious diseases 🛡️ Find out more in our guide to childhood #vaccinations ➡️ https://t.co/a4zPva0N2L

very informative infographics from @britsocimm on vaccines. Sharing information on childhood vaccines, how they work and their safety is so important #vaccineconversations
Today is @britsocimm #Vaccine engagement day.✨ We want to raise awareness of the importance of having #VaccineConversations based on reliable sources of information so everyone can make informed decisions around vaccination💬 Check out our new infographic below👇

Delighted that myself, @KerrieHargrave & @wo_jules were part of this exciting study with our @CVRinfo colleagues. Always fun to be part of immunology-virology collaboration.
🐓 Key gene that blocks the spillover of #AvianFlu to humans discovered. @RuteMPinto, @WilsonLabCVR & colleagues have identified that the BTN3A3 gene is vital to protecting humans against avian flu. 📄 Paper: https://t.co/p98oaieDg7 🗞️ News article: https://t.co/N2KjF9EvYK
