I am honored to celebrate our publication. I work together with these future leaders in Alzheimer's research. Will AD become a controllable disease? If we can find our natural defensives and make them stronger?

Time to better understand the actual challenges. We will open new ideas! Join us. #FOGBoston June 25 13:50 hrs Festival of Genomics. Comments? Ideas? Message me

Thrilled. Why? Because Peter was supported by SANBi to start this journey 25 or so years ago?

#rnasociety.bsky.social Real honour to get to present to the African RNA Salon - upcoming RNA biologists across Africa interested in translational RNA medicine. Qs: How can RNA technology impact public health in resource poor communities? Qs: is something as simple as refrigeration a show stopper?

Due recognition. Cannot express my joy in seeing nature publish the pioneering role of Alan Christoffels and the South African National Bioinformatics institute in African capacity development. I started SANBI. Alan was one of our first graduates! doi: doi.org/10.1038/d441...

Working at the forefront of human disease RNA medicine is amazing. Watching what is possible. ‘The art of the possible’ becomes ‘the art of resilience’. You can’t stop the tide. You can’t hide truth.

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

Congrats to Natalia Benetti @nataliabenetti.bsky.social of the Mundlos lab, who has received a @ec.europa.eu Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship! In her project SynLncRNAs, Natalia will use synthetic biology to uncover mechanisms of gene regulation by long non-coding RNAs in vivo.

Great to see true vision in person.

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I dont often post politics. The Guardian has published a powerful opinion. Trump’s ‘mission to make lies into policy and to suppress truth’ is exemplified in transphobia. Pick on vulnerable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The analogy of omics data normalization and cooking: some processing is usually necessary, overcooking makes it bland, highly over-processed foods are unhealthy, and the quality of the ingredients matters.
