Prof @ucsf@immunox, Immunologist,Immunotherapy pioneer,believer in the power of curiosity,striving to make sense of complicated things, typically enthusiastic.
We think of immunity as destructive. Instead it prunes and samples us all the time, in the subtlest of ways. As part of considering its many actions, this week’s Substack explores a bit of its capacity to nibble and sample us. theimmunebeyond.substack.com…
I'm continuing my experiment on short-form writing. I'm starting to dig into the stories of the New Immunity, that immune system that goes well beyond defending us. It is also the one that gives rise to the many dysfunctional faces of cancer immunity. theimmunebeyond.substack.com…
Just a note about an experiment I’m running…
In the past year, beyond the “day job” that is actually being a scientist, I’ve been experimenting with short-form and long-form writing about science and what it’s like to do it at various stages of life.
theimmunebeyond.substack.com…
On the science front I’ll be writing about everything from our evolution of custom cancer cures to the smallest pieces of immune cell that you can imagine and how they make us whole. On the personal front, I’ll share stories of joy and heartache that are companions in this life.
I’m posting a first three articles and there’ll be new articles at least twice a month with a book on Immune Identity at the back end. The entry point for the project is here:

My career bumpily took off with a discovery that proved world-changing, and from there, an eclectic, eccentric and fairly entertaining life took shape. The science, the life, the collaborations that make discovery happen—that’s what Immune Beyond is about.
Interested in the evolution of how we share and curate our science? For those coming to CICON24, check out @beiyun_liu and this poster. For those not there, try this out, participate, enjoy helping science and your colleagues move forward: solvingfor.org/campaigns-dat…
Looking forward to welcoming everyone to beautiful Killarney for #KSMyeloidTargets24 with co-organizer @MaxKrummel, and discussing how academia & industry can align their efforts to develop effective myeloid cell targeted therapies for cancer.

Very excited about this. Richard and I have a chance to share some pretty cool options to unleash science. Come check it out and try it out. Feels more like what we all came into science for… and a good product of all your collective minds.
I tried this out last week. It already feels much better as a reviewer when you are writing directly to the author and towards genuinely improving the quality of the science. It also is cognitively easier (and faster) to do a better job. This is going to be good.
Immunologists, are you stuck in peer review purgatory? 🕙
Or perhaps you're closing out the year with a new preprint!
We've got the pilot for you! Sign up to share your preprint, and let's fix publishing together!
