While I’m a big fan of new technologies that help us study human biology…there’s still no replacement for animal research! See my article in Gen News. www.genengnews.com/topics/trans...

Pope Francis died at 88, the Vatican announced Monday, ending a pontificate that sought to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution. Cardinals will now decide whether to continue his approach or restore more doctrinaire leadership.

As my peers and I, who were postdocs during COVID, now build our labs more than ever it’s clear that people are the most precious resource in the scientific endeavors we pursue. More precious than any deliverable — data, grants or papers — it will always be PEOPLE FIRST scim.ag/4iqGTeA
