[Verse 1] From the birch-lined shores of old Saint Paul Where the loons call out and the maples fall They gathered from lands both near and wide With microscopes and dreams held high [Chorus] In the Land of 10,000 Immune Reactions Where the cells all march with fierce attractions From B to T, and dendritic factions We stand united, in science and action [Verse 2] Sylvie, Craig, and Elizabeth too Welcomed us all with a sky so blue With prairie pride and a North Woods cheer They brought the world of research here [Chorus] To the Land of 10,000 Immune Reactions Where cytokines dance in chain reactions From placentas deep to cell distractions We find the code in these interactions [Bridge] Down by the river, ideas flow Like snowmelt rushing where knowledge grows From womb to world, from blood to flame Reproductive paths no two the same [Verse 3] Posters hung and stories shared From bench to bedside, all who cared A family forged in labs and lore Pushing farther than before [Chorus] In the Land of 10,000 Immune Reactions Where scholars fuel new benefactions With every slide and each extraction We heal through fearless, bold abstraction [Outro] So raise your glass to this noble quest Where antibodies never rest In Saint Paul’s light, we’ll leave our mark A spark of hope in the northern dark [Final Chorus – slower, sing-along style] Oh the Land of 10,000 Immune Reactions Where science sings in all its factions Thanks to Sylvie, Craig, and Elizabeth’s actions We found new life in these interactions
