The immune systems paradox
Some widespread prokaryotic immune systems are absent in eukaryotes, whereas relatively rare ones became central to eukaryotic innate immunity
@audeber.bsky.social & E. Koonin hypothesize the answer is #HGT

Emma Lemmens shares highlights from her research stay in Turku. At the Hanhineva lab, she explored untargeted metabolomics within the HealthFerm project.
The experience boosted her confidence and showed how a PhD is also about growth, connection, and new perspectives.
