  • What a resource

    Such a great podcast. Making immunology more accessible for the masses, but also just increasing the accessibility of immunology among scientists who may not have a regular immunology journal club to attend. I love hearing everyone’s perspectives on the papers presented and I love “seeing” how new findings inform the way we see a field. So important to demonstrate the scientific process in real time. Thank you all!
