This is amazing news! And I just heard BioEYES is coming to Kings College London as well 👀
It's online! In this series of perspectives @dev-journal.bsky.social, yours truly talks about the exciting open questions and many things to do in the field of dev bio and neuroscience #DevBio🧪 #PIsOfTomorrow journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
The conference (agreement between House and Senate) appropriations bill that includes HHS and NIH was released this morning.

I stand in solidarity with my colleagues at NW because I know what it feels like to silence yourself out of the conviction that the work we do is more important than the small piece of soul we lose every time we stay put. 4/4
hoping that my trainees will be able to persist even when I cannot.
The way I see it, you fight and you roar as loudly as you can to protect those who cannot. And when you can’t roar out loud, you roar inside and keep doing the work that must continue so that all of us persist. 3/4
But I do understand it from the perspective of someone who has felt like a coward for staying silent out of fear. Someone who has felt like a coward for removing from my biosketch the words that truly reflect who I am and the work I’ve dedicated my life to, 2/4
I’ve been quiet for a while, cleaning up my social media and quietly doing the work that has to be done in order to persist. Maybe I’m looking at this from the perspective of someone who doesn’t fully understand the capabilities or higher-level decision making within universities. 1/4
Thank you, Marianne, for an extraordinary visit. And a special thanks to the Woods Hole Embryology Course 2014, where I first had the privilege of crossing paths with her. @crem-boston.bsky.social
Marianne’s talk had that unmistakable WOW factor, the kind of work that ends up in developmental biology textbooks and reminds all of us why we do science and why protecting scientific freedom matters.

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting Dr Marianne Bronner for our CReM seminar series. Through this series, we’re committed to giving our mentees and trainees exposure to 🤯 science from those pushing the boundaries in their field, and extraordinary mentors , and Marianne checks every single box.

So, when you’re changing media in your iPSCs today, take a moment to be amazed by what frogs taught humans. 🐸

He was a kind and inspiring scientist, a thoughtful mentor, and a humble human being whose legacy, and the open sharing of his own struggles, embody the resilience in science that continues to inspire many, including myself.
As a young developmental biologist studying Xenopus oogenesis, John Gurdon was my scientific hero for many reasons.
Yesterday, October 7, Sir John Gurdon passed away.
Dr. Gurdon was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012, together with Shinya Yamanaka.
Through a series of experiments using Xenopus eggs, Gurdon showed that the nucleus of a mature cell can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state.

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

My quote of the day
If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
An amazing clinical triumph for regenerative medicine! A great example of how federal funding results in patient cures. Let’s keep these stories going, America! “World's First Patient Treated with Personalized CRISPR Therapy” #helpisontheway!
