One of the greatest signs of true mentorship: "He believed in me more than I believed in myself." May his memory be a blessing.🙏

John Gurdon, whom we lost today, was not only my mentor but a dear friend. We met 30 years ago in Cambridge. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. His generosity, boundless curiosity, and sense of adventure shaped my life as a scientist 🖤 He will be missed by many. Here us 10 years ago

Thank you @natcellbio.nature.com for publishing our human amnion atlas. We aimed for this data to provide insights into aminon formation in the real embryo but also accurate reference points to generate meaningful stem cell-derived human embryo models

It’s no secret that we do our best work when it's less like work and more like a joy. That’s what we have in mind for the Woodstock Night Science conference. The idea is to have the most fun conference possible so that the good ideas flow and we all get inspired. That’s needed now more than ever!

What I love most about science are unexpected discoveries-finding what was thought not to exist or imagined differently, even against our hypotheses. We uncover them by following curiosity & intuition. That’s why we’re hosting WoodstockNightScience, to spark bold ideas. Join us! #Science #Innovation

Science is an investment that pays enormous dividends. So if you’re business-minded, it’s an offer you can’t refuse!

Friends: Science is under threat! Worldwide, forces seek to make it corporate-like, focused on deliverables, or even the enemy of society. It's time to take a stand to celebrate the science we know and love.
Introducing: Woodstock.Bio2 + Night Science

Check out the scientific journey behind the newest FDA-approved pain medication! 💊 Learn how NIH-funded research played a crucial role—both directly and indirectly—in bringing this breakthrough to life. 🧪

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science.

This helps me remember what this is all about.

Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.

Please consider supporting my daughter Nika's quest to raise funds for the American Heart Association @americanheart.bsky.social as a 2025 Teen of Impact nominee. More than ever we need support for cardiovascular research, and this is a noble way to help. Thank you! www2.heart.org/site/TR?px=2...
American Heart Association - Teen of Impact
Teen of impact nominees are changemakers using their voices to make a difference. Together they will raise much needed funds, take charge of their health, advocate for all women and change policy.

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

We are still not evacuated and have electricity, fortunately, though the Eaton Fire is close and frightening. The smoke in the air is overwhelming—we just bought 2 air purifiers and strongly recommend doing the same. Hoping it helps. Stay safe, everyone.

Working on the 'rejection' talk - I'm reminded that so many papers in CSN were, at one point, rejected... (wouldn't it be nice to have that data?!).
