The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevens’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, and MIT!

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body.

First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute.
You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that?
That’s a story big enough to tell in person.
