COVID-19 Updates for the ImmunoX Community

Welcome to the ImmunoX COVID-19 Updates Page. It is our purpose to use this time of limited lab access to encourage the greatest forward progress in science, as is possible. A silver lining of more limited access to do experiments is the added time and ability to think. To that end, we want to provide resources and a forum for shared thought and shared information. In particular, we want to provide a mechanism for the community to share, with each other, the most up-to-date ideas and innovation.

Overview

Below, you will find two avenues for you to join and share information; a bulletin board and a calendar. The bulletin board is where you can read and comment upon facts and ideas. The calendar contains our ongoing events as well as links to join 'Science Klatches'. The latter is a place where you can bring your cup of coffee and find others who want to talk and listen. Additionally, we provide a set of external links where information is updated frequently, to provide cutting-edge information, beyond ImmunoX.

Here, you will find all the normal information about our scientific meetings, most of which are now virtual. You will also find information about informal Discussion Rooms (Zoom) where you can join, somewhat like a Science Klatch. The calendar contains the topic. you will have to ping immunox@ucsf.edu to obtain the Zoom link. This includes some of the CoLabs 'Office Hours' where you can get discipline-specific advice. Some of these rooms are accessible via a 'waiting room' to preserve the usability of the platform; please do not be offended if you are not immediately admitted. When you join, you will initially be 'muted'. Please raise your hand and the host will call on you when there is a suitable gap. If the meeting is not hosted, this will be indicated.
