Interested in how hypoxia and critical illness shapes immune functions? Join the team! bit.ly/48KkLI7. Funded by a @wellcometrust CDA in @EdinUni_CIR
Really excited to share our review in @NatRevImmunol, out today, on how oxygenation affects immune responses rdcu.be/dVzHA. A joint venture with @WalmsleyLab & @Man_Alex2012 Grateful for the editorial input from @Ybordon. @EdinUni_CIR
What a day! Just finished my first ever @edfringe @CODIfringe performance. Brilliant questions from the audience and awesome support from @suziemo. Thanks to all for making this happen, such fun! @EdinUni_IRR
@BSI_UK committee elections are now live! Lots of excellent candidates who would like to help shape BSI policy for you. I'm running for ECR forum representative but many other candidates too. Read the statements and take your pick! immunology.org/news/bsi-commi…
The NHS is completely BROKEN It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse) It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population
Great talk from @Anandamirch on the role hypoxia in lung injury and the persistence of inflammation #BSI22 @EdinUni_MeetCIR
Arguably the best session at #BSI22 (not that we're biased) was all about immune responses in the 🫁 (+ loads of #stromalcells 💃) Fantastic talks from Laura Denney, @Anandamirch, @suveizdyte_k + @PGTimmune, and lovely to see Clare give an update on what we're up to in our lab!
If you're at the #BSI22 and are interested in monocytes/macrophages, check out posters 184 @HegartyLizi, 655 @Dr_ClaireEllen and 553 @Gastro_GRJ, as well as talks from @wouter_tj on macs in RSV and @Anandamirch on the effects of hypoxia on monocyte behaviour. @EdinUni_MeetCIR
1/3 Interesting that @bbclaurak has both @Jeremy_Hunt & @MattHancock on this morning..... Mr Hunt in august and 2 weeks ago asked for Govmnt to immediately fix the NHS pension tax problems causing massive problems for 7m people on the waiting list ...

BREAKING: Cons Pay 4.5% award= 6.5% pay CUT Doctors - Pls RT if you have had enough of further disgusting erosion of our pay (& therefore pensions) on the back of c30% pay cuts over the last decade Journos - suggested headlines👇 describing FURTHER *massive* pay cut for drs
I'm a doctor. Current NHS pension taxation rules are unfairly hitting senior doctors hard with many forced to retire early/reduce hours. This crisis cant go on. @MartynDaySNP as my MP, please will you attend @TheBMA pensions event on Weds 6 July
Real Case😢 54yr GP partner, 6 sessions working 50s/week Take home pay 22/23: £45,600 Annual allowance 22/23: £29,000 Net pay after pension tax bill paid: £16,600. Hrly net pay: £6.38 Outcome: Retiring age 55 "main reason for leaving = pension taxation" RT if concerned for NHS
It was great to work with @NatImmunol and their fantastic research briefing team to write a brief summary of our latest paper on the effects of hypoxemia on the innate immune system in ARDS rdcu.be/cO8qh. If you fancy the full story thereafter: rdcu.be/cOsSM
Congratulations @Anandamirch. I know how much hard work went into this @NatImmunol paper. Great to see it published. Well done!
Congratulations @Anandamirch. I know how much hard work went into this @NatImmunol paper. Great to see it published. Well done!
I am humbled and delighted to share our most recent paper in @NatImmunol showing how hypoxemia (and consequent tissue hypoxia) alters innate immune responses in the lung in acute lung injury (ALI)/ ARDS rdcu.be/cOsSM. Summary of 6 years' worth of work @EdUni_MeetCIR 👇
My lab’s first paper is now out @SciImmunology. We demonstrate an indispensable role for the transcription factor EGR2 in the control of airway/alveolar #macrophage differentiation. Small thread with key points 👇🏻 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Thnx to all involved: @JMcCowan97 @wouter_tj @HegartyLizi @Gastro_GRJ @JenkinsLabEd @gram_lab @henri_sandrine @Anandamirch @Hoy_am @QMRIFlow +others not on Twitter. Special thnx to collaborators @FFercoq & @BAIR_Head for imaging & @phoebekirkwood3 @p_saunder for scRNAseq help.
