PNP: You versus not you - The triangulation between stress, the immune response, and health disparities

10AM PT | 11AM MT | 12PM CT | 1PM ET | 6PM GMT

Peers'n’Pubs is back!

And we're delighted to hear from Dr. Aisha Souquette join us for taste of science's 10th birthday. She'll be discussing her paper of choice with her mom Lannette Woodrow.

They will discuss:

Pleiotropic consequences of metabolic stress for the major histocompatibility complex class II molecule antigen processing and presentation machinery.

or as she puts it “You versus not you - The triangulation between stress, the immune response, and health disparities".

We look forward to seeing you there.

Get your reminder for when we go live:

Lanette and Aisha - all the hugs!

Peers n Pubs - Take a Fin-Tastic Bite Out of Science!

7PM ET | 6PM CT | 5PM MT | 4PM PT

Your friends at taste of science have a new regular event where scientists share the secrets behind how science is made and published as they host a non-specialist guest and go over a recent publication. Don’t miss Peers 'n' Pubs first ever event!

On Saturday, August 15th, we'll have a special something for you, in honor of Shark Week! Anabela Maia, PhD, a New England marine biologist, will break down her recent work regarding the hydrodynamic function of dorsal fins in sharks. She will be joined by her friend, Ren Whitaker, who will ask questions, call out jargon, and ensure we don't get too crazy technical!

This will be an interactive event with live polls and fun trivia via Kahoot.com!

If you want the full interactive experience, make sure to register for the event through zoom. 

This event will also be streamed to Facebook Live.

Can't wait to see you all!
