Our department is growing! We're hiring Assistant Professors in Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology. Ours is an incredibly supportive department with a diverse range of expertise. Plus, Charlottesville is a really great place to live. Apply here 👇 uva.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UVAJobs/…
To anyone interested in genomics looking to expand your bioinformatic skills- I highly recommend this course! Great training in a beautiful location- I took it back in 2020 and learned a ton.

I had seen a list of postdoc fellowship opportunities being shared a few months ago on here, but can't find it now- anyone happen to have it (or any other resources re: postdoc fellowships) handy?

Congratulations to the newly-minted Dr. Walker @ForrestCWalker, who gave a brilliant thesis defense yesterday!!! Somehow managed to simultaneously study the involvement of IFNs in both regulation of viral dissemination and microbiota-mediated maintenance of hematopoiesis
I'm only a week late on this, but I'm very happy to be able to update my Twitter name and announce that I successfully defended my PhD! I'm eternally grateful to @baldridge_lab for the past 5 years, and can't wait for what's coming next.
Forrest C. Walker, PhD retweeted
All paths lead to IFN-lambda! We found that mice with disrupted autophagy have excessive intestinal IFN signaling, rendering them resistant to gut viruses... surprisingly all completely independent of the microbiota! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
I'm not sure if this counts as the best or worst lab photo?

I know I already tweeted about this, but I'm doing it again! So glad to see such a wonderful mentor and scientist recognized for her incredible work!!!
