We had a great time at #BMES2025. This was the first conference my lab attended together and I couldn't be more thrilled with their performance and the exciting work that we saw presented!

A paper in Nature reports whole-genome sequences for 490,640 participants from the UK Biobank and combines these data with phenotypic data to provide new insights into the relationship between human variation and sequence variation. go.nature.com/415CMhr 🧬 🧪

Only two weeks left to apply for #ResearchFunding and join us in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Establish your own group and receive 890k USD/year for up to 5 years, access cutting-edge infrastructure! career.bmedx.com/call/2025-RD... #ScienceWithImpact #Ophthalmology #TissueEngineering #Biotherapeutics

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

My institute posted a request for proposals to lead a group focused on occular research. It's a good opportunity for someone ready to transition to independence or someone looking for a postdoc with private funding. Added bonus: ou get to be my neighbor! career.bio.mx/call/2025-RD...

Tenure-track Faculty position just opened up in my department! If you want to be part of a dynamic group who is excited about science, apply. For more details, visit www.usherbrooke.ca/emplois/offr... Please share in your networks! #microsky

Muscle-specific Ryanodine receptor 1 properties underlie limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B/R2 progression www.nature.com/articles/s41...

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

@gabriellekardon.bsky.social is a fantastic scientist working on exciting projects. If you want to work on molecular biology in skeletal muscle, this could be your lucky day!

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

My lab is hiring a research assistant. If you love culturing cells but wish they weren't so flat, come bioprint with us: we culture in spheres! We culture in cubes! We culture in bioprinted vessels! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41...

Skeletal muscle fibers have many nuclei and the nuclei are different from each other despite being inside the same cell. This excellent paper looks at specialized transcript profiles of the nuclei that maintain the neuromuscular junction. It's open access! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The long running effort to de-extinct wooly mammoths has given us the gift of wooly mice! By modifying 10 genes to match mammoth variants they made very cute very fluffy mice. Check out their preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Standing up for what is right comes with a personal cost, but gives us the world we want to live in. I am grateful for those who choose to do so across business, science, and government and hope that each of us can find the moral fiber to make similar choices when our time comes.

My lab is hiring! I have budget for a post-doc and a research assistant. We're bioprinting a 3D in vitro artery to model inflammation. If you wish you were bioprinting arteries with me in New Haven, CT, reach out! I'd be particularly excited if you have immunology experience!

A muscle patch developed using stem cells can help to repair failing hearts without adverse effects, according to a paper in Nature. #Medsky 🧪

Stop the halt of NIH! I am reaching out to ask that you call your US Senators/Reps. Especially those of you in red states! Tell them how important the NIH is! House of representatives switchboard: 202-224-3121

The White House honored five exceptional NM educators with the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math & Science Teaching. Congrats to Tara Palomares, Kimberly Conell, Heather Harrell, and Golden Apple Fellows Chris Speck (2018), and Lesha Rupert (2020)! 🎉

This paper came out of the Rossi lab. You will probably like it if you like: 1) fibroblast subtypes 2) T cell maturation 3) all the sequencing (CITE, ATAC, spatial) and 4) understudied sexually dimorphic traits. www.cell.com/developmenta...

My institute has an open call for applications for a new oncology related project. I started my research group off a similar call and it has been a very exciting year and a half starting up the research! Take a look! career.bio.mx/call/2025-BM...

This story grew out of a surprising result to a different experiment. Excellent work, Amie Chang! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
