Pretty cool to have over 10 years of Thomas Wynn's trainees represented at this year's International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) #Cytokines2023 conference. Thanks to fellow Wynn alum Mark Wilson for chairing a great session on #neuroinflammation and chatting afterwards. It was great to meet you in person at long last.
