These 2 Rocked the House at the TCOLE Annual Conference. Instructor Z and Kerry are the tip of the spear! I recommend them both to anyone who defends, protects, and safeguards or Nation and Communities! #instructorz #professionaldevelopment #traininganddevelopment #lawenforcementtraining #instructionaldesign #instructordevelopment

Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC)Spring Scientific was a great meeting. Here are some thoughts: 1- The next breakthroughs in IO will come from areas that have been under studied and had received not much commercial attention such as immunometabolism and microbiome. The science is maturing and these areas will have a broad impact on all things IO, cell therapy, cancer vaccines, bi-specifics, etc. 2- The possibility of re-programming terminally exhausted T-cell through metabolic interventions is quite intriguing. Remember these cells live and chang out in the tumor and they don't respond to checkpoint inhibitors. We just need to get them going and Greg Delgoffe is working on exciting interventions to get these cells going. 3- If you get dendritic cells in a tumor their right kind of food (glutamine) then they can jump start anti-tumor immunity. 3- Avoid artificial sweeteners. Bad for your T-cells. 4- Bacterial based therapies can turn cold tumors hot. 5- You can find oral bacterial genomic material in brain tumors and brain metastasis most likely got their by immune cells. 6- We need to understand tumor supporting and immune supporting diets. 7- We need more metabolism and microbiome intervention trials. You can learn more from treating one patient than many observational and mouse studies. Ultimately our goal is to treat humans not mice.

Trevor Garcia, IDSc’s National Chairman, spoke to CSJ at the Institute of Decontamination Sciences 2023 conference exhibition about the way forward for the decontamination sector. He highlighted the importance of ensuring the profession has a clear career pathway, and the need for action to ensure the future of the sector is secured, by attracting the next generation of decontamination scientists into the profession. High on the agenda was:  - The need for a National reporting system for safety incidents, arising from decontamination, so that issues can be identified and acted upon. - The need to raise awareness of what decontamination units do and the critical role the profession has in ensuring patient safety. - The need for increased the visibility of decontamination as a profession and the career options available.   - The need for standardised terms to identify decontamination departments within hospitals and job titles. - Discussion around the potential for registration of decontamination professionals.

In this year’s Big Ideas Research Grants, CC&E’s Tom Douthat's LA-SEER Center won $250,000 in Phase 3 funding Learn more about this project, and how CC&E faculty are working in interdisciplinary teams to solve pressing problems in Louisiana and around the globe https://ow.ly/PnLv50RWH64

To my manufacturing peers and fellow NTMA members - be sure to be there for Andy Sauer 's talk. He has been in our space for some time now, and he is my go-to resource for security and compliance within the defense industrial base - a big portion of that is due to his comprehensive and logical way to overlap business needs and operations. in other words, he's not a fly-by-night security professional. He's familiar with the small business, and the obstacles we face from multiple directions! #manufacturing #smb #cybersecurity
