Audiommunity Episode 9 - Id just like to second everything Abbie said

By sa smith on September 14, 2014.

LOL!

Former blag-brother Kevin, along some friends from Harvard, have an independent website set up for educating the public about immunology:

Emmunity.org

They have a page I will link to many times in the future, describing the basic cellular components of the immune system, as well as another page filled with animations explaining some tricks those cells like to perform.

They also have a fantastic podcast: Audiommunity

I was super excited when they invited me on to talk about the Immunity Project, specifically, the paper that group just published.

*SPOILER* As four scientists working in immunology/virology/vaccine design, none of us were overly impressed.

It was *so* much fun geeking out with three other immunity geeks. If you ever wanted to eavesdrop in on some young scientists talking shop, this podcast is it.

A Bitter Sweet Nobel - Beutler, Janeway, and the Dawn of Innate Immunity
Monday's announcement for the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine should have been a happy occasion for my lab. On the one hand, it was given for early discoveries in the field of innate immunity - my field! On the other hand, it was given to a scientist that many* feel is undeserving of the…
Using HSV-1 to cure metastatic melanoma
Metastatic melanoma is definately one of the Cancers That Suck. We basically have the same treatment options in 2010 as they had back in 1975... and not because we have chemotherapy/immunotherapy that works super great, no reason to change it. Our treatment options just suck, with horrible…
