Like many others, I have become increasingly disenchanted with this platform. New Year's resolution: following many of my colleagues, I am moving our lab account over to Bluesky. Find us and follow us at @reisesousalab.bsky.social.

The Immunobiology Lab @TheCrick studies how the body detects and responds to infection, cancer and tissue damage.
- This is a blatant misrepresentation of our work science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Our study does not in any way suggest that the application of SPF50 sunscreen “blocks our natural defences” or is detrimental to health.Vitamin D regulates cancer immunity via microbiome- another reason to stop using SPF 50 all year round which blocks our natural defences science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…Readers added contextThe linked study is a pre-clinical study based on mice alone. The suggestion that this means humans can reduce SPF use is not evidence-based, and should be read with caution. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…science.orgVitamin D regulates microbiome-dependent cancer immunityA role for vitamin D in immune modulation and in cancer has been suggested. In this work, we report that mice with increased availability of vitamin D display greater immune-dependent resistance to...
- After years of hesitation, the Immunobiology Laboratory @TheCrick finally joins the Twitter community. With some trepidation… #Immunology
- Read this. Worth 5 minutes of your time. It matters who does science
- With everyone doubly vaccinated and weekly PCR tested, we can finally resume in-person lab meetings. With cake. Yippee!
- Replying to @ReiseSousaLabAnyone who wants to read the actual paper, download an open access author manuscript at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
- We are very pleased to share our latest work on emergency cDCpoiesis during influenza infection @SciImmunology ! A join effort from @CabezaCabrerizo @CarlosMMinutti and @MarianaPdCosta @TheCrick 🥳 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/11
- Check out our latest paper just out on antiviral RNAi in stem cells. Congrats to @EnzoZ_P and colleagues! @TheCrick @ScienceMagazine #RNAi #virus #immunesystem science.sciencemag.org/content/373/65…
- My surname was born 136 years today. My dad’s family comes from Goa, India. Forcibly converted to Catholicism in 16thC, they took the name of the priest, Souza. My grandfather was born on 6 Jan 1886, Dia de Reis (Epiphany). He became Reis e Sousa.
- Today marks the 25th anniversary of the @ReiseSousaLab 🎂. An appropriate time to reflect on success🎇. But what counts as success? A thread 🧵 (1/6)
- Check out our latest paper science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Congratulations to @giampazolias who led the work. Thanks to very many who helped. Great collaboration with Tine Jess and @RominaGoldszmid labs. Tweetorial will follow soon.Scientists at the Crick, @theNCI and @aalborg_uni found that vitamin D encourages the growth of a type of gut bacteria in mice that improves cancer immunity.

- Delighted to report that we have passed our quinquennial evaluation with flying colours! 🥳👏
- Opening of our lab retreat in Portugal. Looking forward to 3 days of exciting science and comradeship.
- Nice start to the year by arriving in my office to find a package containing a medal from @EFIS_Immunology to commemorate the virtual lecture I gave #sfi2021 joint session @sfiimmunologie @britsocimm in December. Thanks!
