A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

Gave a talk at my parents’ retirement community to describe how science is done, and what is at stake. There was a ton of interest, and anyone can do this. Get the word out about how science affects everyone. I’m happy to share slides with anyone who asks- just get in touch! youtu.be/BY_SFgi-Cig

This #WomensHistoryMonth, SfN celebrates women in neuroscience who have dedicated their lives and careers to educating and inspiring generations. Through research, mentorship, and leadership they continue to light the path forward for the next generation of scientists.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪 Celebrating the brilliant minds, past and present, who have pushed boundaries and shaped our understanding of the world. Here’s to the next generation of scientists who will take us even further!

For all professional genome editors (or anyone just using CRISPR in their research) EVERY day is International Day of Women & Girls in Science:
Maria Jasin, Jennifer Doudna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier are the co-parents of the entire field! #WomenInSTEM

Hi #pain community! The North American Pain School, or NAPS, brings together leading experts in the fields of pain research & management to provide a unique educational & networking experience for the next generation of basic science and clinical pain researchers

Follow #NAPainSchool to stay tuned!
