- Excited to see new scientific leadership @apsphysiology.bsky.social and to work with our new CEO, Erika Shugart, to promote #physiology advocacy and funding!
- APS has named Erika Shugart as its next CEO. She is a trained biologist, #STEM advocate and leader in the association community. “I am excited to join APS and build on the legacy of contributions the organization has made to society,” Shugart says. Read more: ow.ly/6aoR50Y8g6G🧪

- Here’s a quick way to make sure that your elected representatives know to NOT to support multiyear NIH funding which will significantly reduce the number of new grants supported each year.
- As Congress finalizes FY 2026 appropriations bills, lawmakers need to hear from scientists about the importance of supporting a strong budget for NIH. Let your reps know why NIH funding is important to you: ow.ly/aOCO50Y0ioG #advocacy #SciPol #FundScience 🧪 📷: iStock

If so, you can submit a late-breaking abstract now through Feb. 2. We want to see you in Minneapolis! ow.ly/B2UQ50XU79w #WeArePhysiology #ProfDev 🧪
- #gd2027 is in Wrocław, Poland. Is this a gd17 🦌vs gdIFN 🦏 matchup? #gdTcells @forum-gd.bsky.social @lydialynch.bsky.social @neilemccarthy.bsky.social @payalyokota.bsky.social @coffeltlab.bsky.social @ph-papotto.bsky.social @gold-efisch.bsky.social
- Do you have exciting data to share but it wasn't in time for the #APS2026 abstract deadline (or you received a JIT and will have $$ to travel)? Late-breaking abstract submission is open through Feb 2. Accepted late-breaking abstracts will be scheduled for posters. See you in Minneapolis! #Gastrosky
- We close out 2025 with a review by @ananya-p.bsky.social & @tingtingli1.bsky.social in @gutmicrobes.bsky.social discussing the influence of the #microbiota on #gdTcell compartments within the gut, since populations and function differ in the #epithelium and lamina propria. 1/n
- In this scenario, we don't know if the effect of the microbiota alters the gd IEL compartment, which are IFNg-producing and largely protective in IBD, or alternatively, if commensals regulate IL-17- and/or IFNg-producing gd LPLs. 3/n

- Reposted by Edelblum LabDid you know #physiology research made GLP-1 drugs possible? Decades before they were household names, scientists studying gut-brain signaling—and even Gila-monster venom—unlocked how the body regulates energy and appetite. 🧪 #FightForPhysiology #SciComm fightforphysiology.org
- It’s a #gdTcell flavored #MucosalMonday! @saraalonsomera.bsky.social & I chat about the magic of our favorite cell type and our recent paper elucidating the role of the microbiota in driving gd IEL regulatory function on this month’s @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast. @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social
- It’s #MucosalMonday and time for the latest @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast episode! This episode features gamma delta T cell work in MI from @edelblumlab.bsky.social; and an interview with @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social on microbial dysbiosis during #MutlipleSchlerosis
- @repdangoldman.bsky.social, please draw attention to & speak up against political appointees in place of civil servants for #NIH Institute Directors. This is just the next tactic to prevent us from making advances and curing disease. #standupforscience

- She’s got her white coat, so now @ananya-p.bsky.social is an official PhD student @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social ! That’s how that works, right? More #gdTcell magic to come! 😁

- 📚NEW #gdTcell PAPER ALERT! 'Microbiota promote enhanced CD39 expression in γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes through the activation of TCR and IL-15 signaling' is now out in @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social! #gastrosky #GIsky #IBDsky Join us for a Bluetorial 🧵...
- A couple of years ago, we stumbled across a hyperproliferative γδ IEL phenotype that protected mice from enteric infection. @saraalonsomera.bsky.social decided to try to figure out what made γδHYP IELs phenotypically different than those from WT mice (besides more proliferative) 2/n
- Bulk transcriptomics revealed an increase in Entpd1, the gene encoding CD39, a known marker of regulatory γδ T cells. We found a clear shift in CD39 expression in γδHYP mice with more CD39hi γδ T cells in phenotypic mice. High CD39 expression was a feature of natural IELs, but we focused on γδs. 3/n
