Thank you for reading, sharing, and engaging. Immunology will march on, and so will we—toward more discoveries, more papers, and hopefully, more ways to make sense of it all. Happy holidays and here’s to a new year full of resilience, balance, and maybe a few less cytokines.

Maybe it clarified a concept, sparked curiosity, or at least made someone say, “Huh, that’s actually pretty cool.” Because it is.

To wrap it all up with a proper farewell, I’ll revisit 10 of the best posts over the next 10 days—one each day as we count down to the year’s end.

it’s the pursuit of answers to systems more complex than any holiday dinner debate you’ll face this season.
It’s bittersweet to close this chapter, but I’m proud to have put this work out into the world.
