From the scientist's view: a conversation with Joseph Yeeles YouTube video by MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Joseph Yeeles (@yeeles-lab.bsky.social) leads a group in the LMB’s PNAC Division studying DNA replication.
For our annual alumni newsletter, Joseph shared what inspired his path in science, how his research has evolved and the value of mentoring future scientists.

Same here in the UK.

Wholeheartedly agree. Love the take about adult conversations 😅

Even with limitations, I would say that most physiological findings in whole organisms (particular mouse and rat) has translated into human health. Not the treatments or every phenotype, but yes the basic principles.

I will. I think I have not listened to this one yet.

I was thiking of this exact same example and also the research on the vagal immunosuppressive reflex that Kevin Tracey has spearheaded and is now being the base to treat RA or Crohn's with vagal stimulation.

"...Not all of these [alternative] models are ready for prime time..."

While I'm all for finding options & this needs funding, are we really there yet? Particularly for basic research? What are your thoughts?
We need to make sure we don'tt phase out animal models if there's no real alternative.

Really cool and interesting. Congrats, Andrew!

Staff scientists shouldn’t feel invisible. We deserve more voice “I felt valued but not included,” this staff scientist writes

"I urge those in positions of power to think about how their current structures might render nonfaculty contributions invisible. We’re all valuable cogs in the system"

I’m truly honored and grateful for the opportunity to participate next Friday in this inspiring initiative.

Atlas-guided discovery of transcription factors for T cell programming - Nature A comprehensive atlas platform integrating transcriptional and epigenetic data enables more precise engineering of T cell states, accelerating the rational design of more effective cellular immunother...

New study—and exciting collaboration with Wei Wang, Cong Liu (UCSD), and Kay Chung (new lab at UNC)—that provides a platform for designing T cells into specific states. We identified state-selective TFs for CD8 T cell states that enable “recipes” for cell engineering! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

On the balance of knowledge - Nature Reviews Immunology Ruslan Medzhitov shares his thoughts on the balance between generating data and developing theories in immunology, with a focus on exploring the rules that govern complex systems.

'Empirical data and the theories that make sense of them are the twin pillars of scientific progress. When one pillar is raised much higher than the other, they cease to be good pillars.'
