Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Happy to share our work on the mechanism of glycolysis in cancer now published in the journal Nature Metabolism. This was a large part of my postdoctoral work carried out in the lab of Prof. @almutschulze.bsky.social at the @dkfz.bsky.social and at Uni Wuerzburg.

Beyond excited to share that the main work of my PhD on how aspartate signaling drives metastasis is finally out in @nature.com ✨

-> go.nature.com/4gCYtuL

A huge thank to the @fendtlab.bsky.social and all our collaborators for the terrific team work 🙏

A brief 🧵
Aspartate signalling drives lung metastasis via alternative translation - Nature
Aspartate in the tumour environment activates the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor in cancer cells to induce cellular programmes that increase the aggressiveness of metastasis.

I have mixed feelings about the article "Behind the Graduate Mental Health Crisis in Science".
It gives the impression of causality, i.e., that science is the cause of the worsening mental health crisis, but this may be a reflection of societal shift.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?
