I've been elected to chair the scientific program for CYTO2019, the International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry's (ISAC's) annual meeting. The meeting will be held in beautiful Vancouver. Get your speaker suggestions and other ideas ready, so that we can keep up - and build on - the great success that this meeting always is!!! #conference

We have diplomatic immunity. We're adaptive, tolerant, and diverse. Our enthusiasm is infectious. We are positively selected." It was a lot of fun to lecture for their Computational Systems Immunology Series. Dinner with grad students was also fantastic. Lots of fun discussion, and I ha

An important principle in our work is to maximize the information we get from precious patient specimens. To that end, technologies that simultaneously provide protein and transcript information from the same single cells are critical. I've contributed to two recently published papers that demonstrate the potential power of integration... It's worth highlighting them. The first was a study led by Diane Bolton at the US Military HIV Research Program. Diane and her team perfo

Reproducibility of scientific studies is a major issue, and a contributing factor is the quality and proper use of reagents. Biocompare, a resource portal for life science reagents/equipment/etc, recently commissioned a documentary about antibody validation. I was interviewed for it. It's a great documentary, with an in-depth look at both the problem and the potential solutions. I encourage you to watch it if you're using antibodies in your work... If you only want to see
