Today, I pay tribute to Dr. Jane Goudall — remarkable scientist, who was truly inspirational. Her groundbreaking work, commitment not only transformed our understanding of the natural world but also inspired generations, including myself, to pursue science with purpose and passion.

Ever wondered how robust cellular identity is to external perturbations? Here we disrupt cellular environmnent in vivo and in vitro, and find cell population specific sensitivities. Environment sculpts development yes, but not all cells are made of the same wood. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
