In case you were wondering what to do with precisely 150 minutes of your existence @sfn.org #SfN25 #SanDiego. Join our mini-symposium Single-Cell Multiomics in CNS Injury and Recovery. Guaranteed to contain many glial cells and at least a neuron. I am Co-chairing with Naomi Habib

Confident Monday mornings are encouraged. 😁🤣

New preprint from the lab! We discovered a transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to greater surface expansion in human forebrains

Dissecting the impact of transcription factor dose on cell reprogramming heterogeneity using scTF-seq - Nature Genetics This study introduces single-cell transcription factor (TF) sequencing, a single-cell barcoded and doxycycline-inducible TF overexpression approach that reveals dose-sensitive functional classes of TFs and cellular heterogeneity by mapping TF dose-dependent transcriptomic changes during the reprogramming of mouse embryonic multipotent stromal cells.

🧵1/ Excited to share our new paper introducing a new #singlecell assay: scTF-seq, a high-throughput single-cell approach to explore how transcription factor (TF) dose shapes cell identity and reprogramming outcomes. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Big congrats to the entire team @EPFL & @SIAT_China

So excited to launch the Night Science Institute with @itaiyanai.bsky.social and @oliverbogler.bsky.social !

Looking forward to another great year!

BaCell 3D | Organoid conference BaCell 3D is the essential meeting point for researchers and industry professionals dedicated to transforming developmental and biomedical science through cutting-edge in-vitro multicellular systems.

Abstracts are in! A few spots left for regular registration at BaCell3D 🎉

We’re back this June - awesome speakers, new workshops, and a panel discussion hosted by me & @umut-kilik.bsky.social!

From organoids to engineered tissues -this one's for you! Register now 👉 www.bacell3d.com

See you there!

🍁🚨 WE'RE HIRING!🚨🍁 Our baby lab at the University of Toronto is expanding, many many thanks to funding from #CIHR and @hfspo.bsky.social. We are in search of a technician, postdoc, and PhD students! Further details on our website (sawhlab.netlify.app/people/), please share!

Spotlight on Single-Cell Genomics!
I, Omer Ali Bayraktar, Naomi Habib, Genevieve Konopka, @liddelowsa.bsky.social, and Tomasz Nowakowski collaborating with top neuroscientists to explore optimizing these technologies in the latest Nature Neuroscience issue.

Congratulations I can’t wait to see all the cool stuff you’re going to do!!!

That made my day!

Congratulations!!! Wishing you success!

Hello hello! Thanks for making the list. Would you mind adding me to it? Thx! 👋🏼

I was wondering what my first bluesky post would be and I thought since it’s Valentine’s Day I’d wish everyone a happy Valentine’s Day with this merfish image of the axolotl telencephalon. ❤️
