Hi #MedTwitter ! 👋 This is my first mini-concept infographic! Ever wonder what the difference was between hypoxemia and hypoxia? Never use them interchangeably again!

Th9 cells are on fire! Nice work @LabMedoff on this @SciImmunology paper. Your pathogenic Th2 cells share the program of our bystander-activated Th9; it's exciting to see these as a potential #precisionmedicine target in human lungs. #asthma #allergy #IL9 science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…

1. We @ImmunologyTang @ShanLuLiu1 are very happy to see our work finally published. We found that current mRNA vaccines induced relatively suboptimal respiratory mucosal immunity despite strong circulating humoral and cellular immunity being induced.

Working with these two outstanding young scientists has been an honor. Very proud of @BenjaminUlrich (almost MD/PhD) who matched @NorthwesternMed and @rakshinpk now @genentech The lab is not the same without them.

Thrilled to see our first COVID work out. We found that exuberant respiratory resident CD8 T cells likely lead to chronic lung sequelae post acute COVID-19 (PASC). Hope this work could help to understand the causes of PASC. @LongCOVIDPhysio @SciImmunology science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…
