Scientific objectivity is a myth – cultural values and beliefs always influence science and the people who do it
Cultural ideas are inextricably entwined with the people who do science, the questions they ask, the assumptions they hold and the conclusions they land on.

Congratulations to this absolute force of a woman for this 🎉👏 can't wait to hear about the exciting science she'll be doing (and hear her go on about lipids for hours on end) 💖
I was thrilled to receive this news—I’ve been awarded the #MSCAPostdoctoralFellowship for my project, PHOS-SVD! Extremely grateful for the support of @annawilliamslab.bsky.social, @nadlerlab.bsky.social and my colleagues for their feedback. Excited to begin the journey into membrane lipid research!

Such a pleasure to participate today in this panel where I got to share some insights into all those other things we get during a PhD apart from the more obvious technical skills. Thank you so much to @garyfalliagouna.bsky.social for brilliantly chairing and to the rest of the speakers! ❤️‍🩹

As part of our summer campaign, we took a look into skin and spinal cord health. We asked members of the Williams Group to share their research into Multiple Sclerosis and how the spinal cord is involved in this work.
