Big congrats to Dr. Len Zon for being awarded the 2026 @marchofdimes.org Richard B Johnston Jr, MD Prize for his work in #devbio. His pioneering research has illuminated how blood develops in embryos, leading to a deeper understanding of genetic blood diseases. www.marchofdimes.org/about/news/r... π§ͺ
We are losing scientists from the government at an unprecedented rate - some were fired, but many more were forced out through trauma and fear. www.science.org/content/arti...
If you are a scientist funded by NIH and agree that if the HHS/NIH bill is held hostage by linkage for funding to DHS/ICE, we need to shutdown both and save lives, its time to speak up. Right now, with a few exceptions, the silence is deafening

The best hello; the hardest goodbye. So thankful for a beautiful 13 years. π
In the spirit of Halloween, weβve resurrected our social media presence! We look forward to reconnecting with the community and celebrating all those that are part of it π #RockOn
The most wonderful group of scientists, and now friends, to organize a trainee focused meeting to kick off SMR 2025!
A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

I cannot even imagine having a new lab rn.... sending you good vibes!
Delaying until 2026 market to hopefully let this shake out a bit more. But def applying outside the US too. π«
oh I will resubmit! (tho the NCI is just going to be more competitive now...) but the hope of finding a faculty position is at an all time low

Very proud of our partner papers in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social and @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social from collaborative work in my lab and Benjamin Stanton's lab focused on fusion-positive #rhabdomyosarcoma. #TeamFishAndChIPs
