THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF IMMUNOLOGISTS In 2013 AAI anticipates honoring more than 800 member scientists for their research achievements and professional promise by providing awards and grants totaling over $800,000. AAI members enjoy the opportunity to nominate a worthy colleague for recognition or apply for a travel grant in support of their own careers. AAI provides travel support for talented scientists-in-training to participate in its annual meeting. For IMMUNOLOGY 2013™, AAI will offer a new AAI Trainee Poster Award program in addition to the AAI Trainee Abstract Awards granted each year. Both awards provide travel reimbursements to trainee member ﬁrst-authors of exceptional abstracts. In its commitment to cultivate career opportunities for promising young scientists, AAI also provides travel support for trainees to attend the AAI summer immunology courses and sponsors over 100 awards at other immunology conferences.

His experiences illustrate some of the many challenges and issues faced by physicians, including future immunologists, in military service. All would face such dilemmas as when and where to volunteer their services, how to cope with the trauma of war, and how to readjust to the laboratory after the war. Stanhope Bayne-Jones earned his M.D. at the Johns Hopkins University in 1914 under William Welch, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.6 Founded in 1893 and based on the German system, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine was praised in the Flexner Report as “the first medical school in America of genuine university type.”7 After graduating with high honors, Bayne-Jones remained at Johns Hopkins, where he rose from House Officer in Medicine to Assistant Resident Pathologist within one year.

No doubt both of these activities would be as useful and safer than what I can do over here; but this has the interest: It is like living in the Sunday pictorial of the New York Times.”20 Stationed at a hospital behind the lines in May and early June, Bayne-Jones heard “wonder-tales” from the wounded British troops about an “earthquake battle,” which made him long to get to the front lines.

Besides I seem to have lost interest in medicine and bugs—temporarily.” He still intended to “settle down as a ‘professor’ somewhere” after the war.26 But, as he admitted three months later in a letter home, he was forgetting “everything I ever knew of Bacteriology and medicine.” Yet he had no regrets: “I’ll be pretty ignorant of what I was trained to follow when this war is over, but I have seen some things!

He spent the majority chunks of the flotsam and jetsam of the battlefields, of his time in Paris, where he contracted the pandemic influenza that was infecting and killing millions around while the sizzling shrapnel rattles on the tin hats the world. He described his bout with the “grippe” as of the stalwart Yanks, crowding the muddy shell taking “away interest in life” and explained that “the days holes, while the machine gun bullets chirp overhead have been so monotonous that I hardly noticed how many and spurt against the elephant iron, while all these passed.”41 Aware that “influenza and pneumonia [have] hit some places” in America “pretty hard,” he worried horrors are taking place I am neither deafened nor about family at home “catching the ‘flu.’”42 His illness and afraid because I am in a hole 30 feet underground convalescence kept Bayne-Jones from the front lines until in a [German] dug-out.

During the offensive, Kaiser Wilhelm II began making overtures that Germany would accept a peace treaty. And, at the stroke of 11:00 in the morning on November 11, 1918, “suddenly all the guns behind us stopped barking and rolling, the last ‘Freight car’ rattled over our heads, and all the machine guns suddenly stopped, though they had been rioting away up to the very last minute.” The quiet was “mysterious, queer, unbelievable,” but no one “shouted or threw his hat in the air.” Although the war was over, the soldiers of neither side found the armistice “exciting” at first. As the day turned into night, however, the front began to look to Bayne-Jones like “a Fourth of July celebration,” as unused flares and signal rockets from both armies illuminated the sky with their many colors well into the night.46 On November 14, Bayne-Jones was promoted to the rank of major and became the sanitation inspector in Koblenz, Germany, as part of the army of occupation.

AAI Supports Early Career Investigators at the 13th Colorado Immunology Conference

AAI continues to support early career scientists’ opportunities to present their science and to acknowledge the contributions of AAI members who serve as volunteer chairs and coordinators of immunology meetings offering these vital opportunities.

AAI supported the 13th Colorado Immunology Conference (CIC), chaired by Laurel Lenz, AAI ’05, of National Jewish Health in Denver. The meeting, held September 12–14 in Vail, Colorado, drew nearly 200 participants, primarily graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Attendees also included a number of lab technicians. Laurel Lenz A highlight of the meeting each year is a keynote address, named in honor of the late Priscilla Ann (Pixie) Campbell, AAI ’73. The invited lecturer for the address, sponsored this year by AAI, was Megan Sykes, AAI ’89 (see sidebar on page 25). Sykes was introduced by John Cambier, AAI ’78, chair, Integrated Department of Immunology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and National Jewish John Cambier presenting AAI Young Investigator Award to Natalie Bowerman Health. In addition to the Pixie Campbell Memorial Lecture, AAI sponsored the eight AAI Young Investigator Awards presented School of Medicine; and post-docs Romain Bedel, at CIC. Winners were graduate students Courtney Fleenor, National Jewish Health; Tullia Bruno, National University of Colorado Denver; Ashley Nicole Desch, National Jewish Health; Natalie Bowerman, University of Jewish Health; Lenka Teodorovic, National Jewish Health; and Colorado Denver; and Kira Rubtsova, National Francesca Alvarez-Calderon, University of Colorado Denver Jewish Health. Cambier presented the AAI Young Investigator Awards on behalf of AAI.

She was one of the ﬁrst women to earn tenure at the Colorado University School of Medicine and was author or co-author of 101 scientiﬁc articles, a number of which appeared in The Journal of Immunology. She was praised as a generous mentor of trainees and a role model for women in science.

Get a GRIP: An AAI program designed to help new investigators prepare their NIH grant proposals AAI is pleased to offer a program to match new PIs with established PIs who have signiﬁcant, successful grant writing careers. The Grant Review for Immunologists Program (GRIP) invites new PIs to submit an outline or NIH-style abstract to the GRIP coordinator who, with the assistance of a small volunteer subcommittee, will attempt to match the topic of the proposal with the research experience of an established PI. Matches will be made as quickly as possible to allow new PIs to meet upcoming NIH grant deadlines. Participation is open only to AAI members and is strictly voluntary. The program is not intended to supplant internal mentoring programs. GRIP is now accepting both new PI and established PI participants. Please send your CV and a brief description of either your potential research project (new PIs) or grant reviewing experience (established PIs) to [email protected] (please write “GRIP” in the subject line).
