Edward Doherty PhD.

Just wanted to share this graphic. I saw one like it outside my department chairs office today and felt I needed to make it a little more T cell. Lol 🧪

I am excited to be a part of the Autoimmune Community Summit!

Yesterday was rough, all around.

A Phase I/II trial led by Dr. Shabir Madhi at the University of the Witwatersrand shows that a maternal hexavalent Group B #Streptococcus vaccine is safe and elicits robust antibody responses in both mothers and infants. 💉 Read more: https://go.nature.com/4hSXQRh Listen now: https://bit.ly/3RBBVUf

With the recent executive order, and all the doubt this administration is creating about science. I felt it needed to comment. Here is the video I uploaded to instagram. 🧪

Today's congressional hearing with Dr. Fauci felt like the Benghazi hearing all over again. 🧪 Yes or no?

US Science is not okay!

I might have gone a little over board making this.... but totally worth it!

HAPPY PI DAY!

It is always so hard to know if you are doing a good job as a parent. But seeing as my teen left this on my whiteboard. I think I am doing okay so far. What do you think.

He is The Boss for a reason.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Playing with AI generated graphics for the first time. Not sure if I like this or the lack of accuracy is just driving me nuts.

Press release for my recent publication in @pnas.org on the role of CD74 T cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis. 🧪 medicine.yale.edu/news-article...

My most recent manuscript is available from @pnas.org . We describe a population of inflammatory cytokine MIF responsive T cells and their importance in Rheumatoid Arthritis pathogenesis.

What does a scientist look like? Children are drawing women more than ever before "Most scientists are still men, but as time goes on that's changing—even in the imaginations of children." www.science.org/content/arti...

I am collaborating with AAI through their program immunologyexplained.org to share information about vaccines and vaccinations. 🧪

Kids had check ups today and got their flu shots. #vaccines work!

As I keep saying, T cells are the best cells. 🧪 Congratulations.

Recent news has created unnecessary confusion for parents about vaccine schedules, but pediatricians are here to help provide some clarity. More from Dr. Ari Brown on the dangers of skipping or delaying childhood vaccines. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

New research from Dixit lab @yalemed.bsky.social showing nerve-associated macrophages (NAMs) decline in aging which impairs the breakdown of fat and increases inflammaging. Dixit addresses the biology of aging and intercommunication between nerves and macrophages. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

She was a true inspiration and amazing leader in global conservation.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. chose everyone in the group. Their votes could affect vaccine access for certain childhood vaccines and and the COVID shots. Here's what's at stake.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.

Congratulations to my friend Randi Weingarten on the launch of Why Fascists Fear Teachers. From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy. Randi's book is a critical read for this moment. sites.prh.com/whyfascistsf...

We all said it when he was looking to be confirmed. I did not need more proof but hopefully this gives those hold outs some. Now please tell your representatives that it is time for Congress to finally impeach RFK! #impeachrfk #impeach #savescience

You need to know what might be coming. Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

Trying to come up with a way to help explain immunology to a general audience on social media, any critiques are welcome. Here is a few images I have made for how i am thinking of approaching it. 🧪

T cells are the best. 💯

I can't science today. My dog ate my research. 🤣🧪

“This president believes he’s above the law. He doesn’t believe the law applies to him. He doesn’t believe the Constitution applies to him, and if we act like that’s normal, we just encourage the continued illegal constitutional behavior," said Murphy.

The shooter at Annunciation Catholic School used an assault weapon to fire dozens of rounds through the stained glass windows of the school’s church—killing two children and wounding 17 others, including 14 children.

We don’t need to accept this life for our kids. It’s our choice to subject children to this horror. Talking with @chrislhayes on @MSNBC and then with @andersoncooper on @CNN later on the path forward.

So you plan to take some cool family pictures from your vacation and these folks just come out and absolutely rock the family photo. #vacation #family #familyphoto

We suck at doinging it. And even on this trip I brought work. But I am going to try and take a break and enjoy my vacation. #lifeofascientist.

Lithium has an essential role in the brain and is deficient early in Alzheimer’s disease, which can be recapitulated in mice and treated with a novel lithium salt that restores the physiological level, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/47mxemu #medsky 🧪

The more we learn about the U.S.-Japan "trade deal", the more we learn there is no deal. Trump rushed out an "announcement" after a 70 minute conversation with Japan's trade negotiator and the press dutifully reported a deal. 1/ No text and widening disagreement on terms.

We all must keep fighting for science! 🧪

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in Gaza, mostly near food sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said.

We all know this but how do we take them all down?

The NIH to replace qualified grant reviewers with the bad tans fanclub. Removing people with expertise and years of experience in reviewing grants, so they can be replaced by political lap dogs. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.

Doing scientific research is more than just a passion for me. It is what drives me. Exploring and understanding the unknown is why I keep going through all the failures and setbacks. #science #scientist #research www.instagram.com/reel/DL-X0u1...
