Can you believe that it is my first SSR conference despite having worked in reproductive biology since the late 90's??!! If you are attending the meeting, come and find me! And thank you to Martha Susiarjo and Blanche Capel for the invitation to speak!

Conferences have felt different this year but looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues and presenting some of our work at #Worm25.

I want people to look around and pay attention to all the technology they are using or the medicine they are taking. I want people to think of their loved ones and the race for cures against cancer or Alzheimer's.

1/3 Why does the US lead the world in the number of clinical trials? How come americans are given the unique chance to get the latest treatment and a fighting chance against often incurable diseases?
That's all thanks to research and the support from the NIH!

Thank you for all the direct messages. We are all impacted by these fires but our lab members are safe. Hoping that the fires will be contained soon now that the winds have subsided thanks to the heroic efforts of the 7.5K+ firefighters deployed.

@eLife! In short, we found that Δ9-THC rewires the metabolism of embryonic stem cells which is retained during their differentiation into Primordial Germ Cell-Like Cells. Read here: doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
