#Zebrafish 🐟 meeting klaxon🧨 The registration period for the 1st German Zebrafish Meeting (16-18 Sept) is open www.germanfishmeeting.org with Sessions on Development, Pharma, Behavior, Omics, and more. Deadline for Abstracts at the end of April. Hope to see y'all there! 🧪 (1/n)

I’m excited to present my work in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social on how aging disrupts the sympathetic innervation to the thymus! Huge thanks to my co-authors, mentor @maryanovichlab.bsky.social, @einsteincellbio.bsky.social, & our fantastic Analytical Imaging Facility. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Check out our new publication in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social describing how aging affects sympathetic innervation of the thymus. Congratulations to the team, especially @randallcarpenter.bsky.social for an outstanding work!! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Science is a tough career. We are so over-trained in scepticism we end up constantly doubting ourselves. The worst part can be thinking you are alone in your self-doubt. By sharing our common experiences, we hope our new book helps those going through a career crisis: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/camb...

Excited to share our project on mechanisms of neural transmission in the HSC niche. Sunday at 9:30 AM #ASH2025 #ASH25 @einsteincellbio.bsky.social

Excited to share a big milestone, the Verma Lab divijvermalab.com is now OPEN @einsteinmededu.bsky.social We study how environmental exposures & inflammation drive stem-cell dysfunction and cancer. Grateful to mentors Amit Verma & @steidluli.bsky.social . We’re #NIH R01-funded lab and #hiring

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Oh I really hope this remains!

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Jim Hudspeth passed away on Saturday. We will remember and continue to be inspired by Jim’s integrity, his humility, and his unwavering commitment to discovery.

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Amazing things happening on the other app… 🤦‍♂️

Editorial rejection from journal 2 today. This one stung a little, but that’s the game. I have to remember that my PhD paper was passed up by 4-5 journals before getting reviewed! I just gotta keep trying.

Editorial rejection from journal A… but suggested transfer to good journal option B! Now we wait (again). Happy 4th of July weekend!

Submitted a paper today! It’s out of our hands at this point and up to the editors/reviewers. But I’m proud of the work that went into it, no matter the outcome! I just have to hope others see the science as worthwhile and interesting. Thankful for all the support from co-authors and colleagues.

Just put the final touches on my NIA K22 application. It’s ready to submit; I just have to hope science is still being funded come 2026. Getting the K22 could really help in these uncertain times! I’m optimistic and eager to start my independent research program.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

I’m glad there’s another effort to show support for science. I remember the March for Science a few years back during my PhD.

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US. Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪 We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

THE Ohio State! National Champs!!!

This is super cool and wild! Neuro-immune signaling in the gut causes ILC2s to travel to the pancreas and induce the production of glucagon. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Bought an external hard drive to help with data management for my MacBook Pro at home and backup important files. My mind was blown that I got a 2 TB SSD and this is the size! With my thunderbolt 3 ports it gets nearly 1GB/second transfer speeds. Backed up my 175GB sequencing data in 4 minutes. 🤯

Womp womp. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Had an exciting day yesterday on the confocal with our cleared GFP reporter samples! Very happy this is working in our hands! 🤩

Glad it’s the weekend and I’m ready for an extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend next week! Was crashing hard at lab.

I’m being distracted from working on my lab meeting presentation for tomorrow by our oldest kitty Mable. She yawned but I’ll just imagine she’s roaring ferociously like her feline cousins. Time to get back to work…

Rough afternoon for the assistant…

First post here on the blue app. Already my feed is filled with science, beautiful photography, adorable animals, and none of the BS from the other app. Feels like a good mix of old school bird app and insta. Will try to keep this place as updated as the other!
