BOOM! www.nature.com/articles/s41... I think this is a big step forward for the field. Congrats to Lauren Donovan and @vivtawfik-mdphd.bsky.social and the whole Tawfik lab team.
Aging and injury drive neuronal senescence in the dorsal root ganglia - Nature Neuroscience
The authors describe a susceptibility of the peripheral nervous system to neuronal senescence with age or injury relevant for sensory dysfunction, such as chronic pain.

Excited to share Benson’s and Maria’s work in collab w/Kostas Tzelepis: we found the nucleolar protein NPM1 is a marker of AML and can be targeted therapeutically

Hi NMR spectroscopy friends,

Does anybody have an ARTSY RDC dataset in NmrPipe format that we could use for software testing purposes?

"Until we acknowledge that publish or perish is the natural consequence of the rankings obsession, we're not going to fix anything." New @nature.com, 62% of researchers in a survey attribute scientific irreproducibility to the 'publish or perish' culture. 🧪

‘Publish or perish’ culture blamed for reproducibility crisis
Survey of more than 1,600 biomedical researchers also flagged small sample sizes and cherry-picking of data as leading causes of reproducibility problems.

In-depth article on chronic pain, with my friend @robgereau.bsky.social and Allan Basbaum heavily interviewed as scientists studying pain: ‘We die in pain, we don’t die of pain.’

Childhood cancer death rates in the United States have declined six-fold over the last seventy years. 🧵
This chart presents US cancer death rates in children under five years old, measured in reported annual death rates per 100,000 children. It consists of four graphs: 1. All Malignant Cancers Combined: This graph illustrates a decline in childhood cancer death rates from about 11 per 100,000 in 1950 to around 1.8 in 2021, indicating a six-fold decrease since the 1950s. 2. Leukemia: This graph shows a decrease from around 5 per 100,000 in 1950 to less than 1 in 2021, following a similar declining trend throughout the decades. 3. Brain and Nervous System Cancers: This chart shows some fluctuations but overall a decline from nearly 0.8 per 100,000 in 1950 to about 0.4 in 2021. 4. Lymphomas and Multiple Myeloma: This graph shows fluctuations and a decline from around 0.8 in the late 1950s to less than 0.2 by 2021. The data is sourced from the WHO Mortality Database (2024), with a note indicating that figures may fluctuate year-by-year due to low numbers.

AND, at some point, we need to talk about how the fact that we are DETROIT means we're already at a recruiting disadvantage, and not just in sports!

You gotta WANT to be in Detroit! That's why we have such a fierce love for each other AND for our city.

Stand up and tell 'em you're from DETROIT!
