Live tweeting from IiME conference, Friday 3 June 2016

[Bob]

I looked at the TRPM3 expression study and do I understand right that they may have figured out a piece of the immune dysfunction puzzle? NK and B cells are starved of calcium because they aren't making enough calcium ion channels for some reason.

That's my very preliminary understanding of it as well. Except i think they say it may potentially apply to all cells, and not just the specific ones they've tested.

What a great way to start my day!!

Thanks to @Bob and @Kina and @Sasha for keeping us up to date with all this wonderfully validating data.

Up next -- Mady Hornig -- should be starting any minute.

@Kina, thanks so much for all the info. Are you enjoying being at the conference? Is there a good atmosphere? Is it you're first IiME conference?

 

[LiveAgain]

Thank you for the tweets, I've been following. Will the presentations be recorded and available online at some point?

They are filming the conference -- dvd's can be purchased at some point. I don't know if there will be a downloadable version.

Hornig is reviewing past research, talking about missing pieces. Talking way too fast to keep up with her. Sorry.

It's very tiring but other than that all is good. Great atmosphere of people working together on our behalf. Have seen a few forum members here. J. Edwards, Charles Shepherd, Dan Peterson, and many others are here. No, not my first conference.

They will all be available on the conference DVD, which you can order here. Videos won't be placed online.

 

[shannah]

Just thought I'd jump in to help, since Kina was tiring and things were moving quickly.

Sorry about the messy posts though. Not sure if I go back in to edit out all the periphery if it will remove the tweet or not.

 

[aimossy]

@Kina have they been quiet with embargoed information, or are they sharing and asking people not to share.

 

[Undisclosed]

@aimossy -- There have been absolutely no requests to keep information secret.

 

[shannah]

Lots more tweets here

You can already pre-order the DVDs (I buy them every year, well worth it). They've never been made available online so far. That said, I can't find the link! Here's the conference site, though:
