Seeing any paper out (🧵below) in the wild is FANTASTIC but seeing this one is particularly special 🙌 This ‘baby’ was my focus for ~6yrs & today marks its venture into the real world, as I begin my return to work from mat leave - here we are taking our 1st look at it 👀👀👀
🚨OUT NOW🚨 @Nature We show myeloid cells instruct CD8+ #Tcell function in the human #liver Study led by the BRILLIANT @ljpally (now @pallett_lab) working with AMAZING team in @maini_lab, other @SLMS_UCL labs & external collaborators nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵⬇️🤩

Go give a follow to @STEMM_carers to learn more on the amazing initiative that @ljpally19 has been part of Carers in STEMM advocates for equitable & accessible support for those balancing caring and career in the world of academia
We're thrilled to see members of our team shortlisted for the 2025 #BSIAwards 🏆for their active role in driving & inspiring change in the #immunology field🤩 @ljpally19 is nominated for: BSI Diversity & Inclusion Award & our ECRs are nominated for: Outstanding Team Award 👏
HOW does UK not allow legal right to breastfeeding breaks in workplace?! For mat leave, you get 90% pay for 18 wks; most cannot afford to take longer. WHO & UNICEF recommend breastfeeding for *2 years* due to health benefits for baby &mum. It wouldn’t take much to do much better.
Fantastic to see efforts being make to directly address the difficulties for some juggling caring and networking, visibility, knowledge sharing at conferences at #EASL this year. Make sure you sign up for childcare support if it will work for you 😊
If the reason you have held back registering for EASL this year is because you lack support with childcare, @EASLnews are here to help you. Early bird registration discount closes tomorrow 14th January! easlcongress.eu/2025-easl-chil… @BSGSWiG @ljpally19 @STEMM_carers @SaSi_Lens

Amazing opportunity in a very supportive environment - APPLY NOW!! 😄 #phdlife #phdrecruitment #AcademicTwitter
Interested in spatial omics analysis of the liver. Check out our @The_MRC funded Precision medicine PhD Project with @LinusSchumacher, John Cole @UofGlasgow and @MacomicsL. @EdinUni_IRR @EdinUni_CIR DM or e-mail me for more info. findaphd.com/phds/project/p…
Great to see our article published in @HepCommJournal. Remember to look at basement membrane in your fibrosis studies, especially if working on FXR agonists. Thanks to everybody who helped! @JAFallowfield @TimKendall_Path @EdinUni_IRR @EdinUni_CIR journals.lww.com/hepcomm/fullte…
Great to be at the @FLFDevNetwork discussing inclusive leadership as a collective of Lauras, we (the collective we) need to accelerate the implementation of policy change to improve research culture for all (inc carers) … “it might not always work, but we have to at least try”
Thank you @FLFDevNetwork for the opportunity to talk about our work highlighting the challenges of balancing caring responsibilities and #academic travel. Excited to also share initial findings from our @STEMM_carers survey with @ljpally19 📊

For those over at 🦋 we’ve made a starter pack to rebuild the T cell immunology network we once had. Join us! And join in!
Stranded upstairs in @Tesco Berkhamsted (pram & toddler) because the lift closes at 3:30 (according to management without signage) and store closes at 4!! 🤯🤯 Great move towards inclusivity there Tesco. 🤬
In newborns, tiny traffic cops in the liver need a GPS to find their way to the bloodstream and protect against infections. @brunaraujodavid @Kubes_Lab @Fernand60273751 @tamanna_uofm @moritzpeiseler @KathyDMcCoy @FGinhoux @ImmunoEditor @SciImmunology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
