…when you meet one of your favorite authors, in your favorite bookstore, in your favorite city… -happy child! Thank you @dangutmanbooks.bsky.social !

Amazing science, great presentations by trainees, and inspiring discussions -thank you for this uplifting conference organized by postdocs and students at NIDDK/ NIH!

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

The title tells the story and the 5 graphs amplify it www.nature.com/articles/d41...
