Good morning! Today we're going to do a deep "dive" (get ready for more fish puns!) into respiratory immunology and why it's so important to study. Got any Q's? Send them my way!

Let's start with some immunology basics! The immune system is a complex system of cells which patrol the body to fight off infections & cancer, and repair damaged tissue. There a loads of different immune cells but here are three to get us started
