Just a random thought: Are scientists forgetting how to ask questions that don’t involve multiomics? 🤪 Or doing simple lab experiments? Majority what i see everywhere is publication oriented research than curiosity based 🫣 Maybe I’m just an outlier 🔬👻 #academia #strugglingscientist

Hiring committees and impact factors... They say it doesn't matter but 😂 future of science

When the reviewers' identities are revealed

Following an amazing GRS, the GRC brought even more existing science. From rete ridges across the animal kingdom to wild skin organoids and sex-biased skin physiology. It was also a great opportunity to reconnect with former colleagues and friends (#Watt Lab Family 😀).

A month ago, I had the joy of co-chairing the GRS meeting on epithelial differentiation & keratinization with my dear friend @drpriyankabhosale.bsky.social. Huge thanks to the trainees:you made it so worthwhile. Also hugely grateful to the panel speakers who provided an honest and moving discussion.
