Amazing lab. Terrific opportunity!
Piali’s lab is amazing, highly recommended!
Despite the mess, we are grateful to be funded, have exciting science happening, and have an opening for a postdoc!

Was really privileged to play a very small part in providing feedback on the development. Once again @odedrechavi.bsky.social innovating science. Brilliant!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Awesome science!
Why does the naked mole rat have the longest lifespan of any rodent, nearly 40 years?
A 30-year long mystery unraveled @ScienceMagazine today!
Its cGAS enzyme in cells has 4 missense mutations that upends its function, promoting DNA repair and suppressing inflammation
