I don't think you non-science people realize what it takes to get a grant funded by NIH. Started experiments in Sept 2021 to generate 3 new mouse mutants to model human disease. Prelim dara shows they have relevant disease phenotypes worthy of study. Need a small grant first to characterize /1

Happy Holidays from this amazing team! 🎄🎅🤶

Happy Thanksgiving! To cap off 2025, we are pleased to share our Perspective piece in @cp-devcell.bsky.social on medulloblastoma stem cell programs. www.cell.com/developmenta...

EZHIP has been puzzling us for years because of its incompletely understood role in pediatric brain tumors. Here we report new functions for EZHIP and that EZHIP is not only mutated in PFA ependymoma, but also in K27M+ HGGs with EGFR mutations. actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Happy to welcome Dr. Xinmiao Yan, our new bioinformatician, to the Ogilvie lab! Thrilled to have her join our expanding team of medulloblastoma researchers!

🚨Another PI job opening in the Neuroscience dept. at @umontreal.ca ! 🚨 www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Devastating news. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium has lost its ability to apply for federal funding upon which it is structured. Without this, it cant exist. This threatens access to clinical trials for children. These children need MORE funding and MORE trials, not less. They deserve better

SickKids Research Institute has just launched a search for Program Head in Developmental, Stem Cell and Cancer Biology. Phenomenal colleagues, amazing science and great food all in the most multicultural city in the world. Join us: www.sickkids.ca/en/research/...

Thank you to the Sam Day Foundation for funding our work on medulloblastoma metastasis! We are very grateful for the support! 🙏🏻🎗️

I will be 49 in three months and just got asked whose lab I’m in. I still haven’t figured out a graceful way to reply! I usually have to repeat “my own” because ppl don’t seem to get what I mean. Does anyone have a clever reply that also emphasizes the assumption the person has made?

🤩 paper on CNS fibroblasts in leptomeninges medulloblastoma metastasis from Michael D. Taylor's group co-led by Namal Abeysundara, Alexandra Rasnitsyn, & Vernon Fong in @natcellbio.nature.com - more evidence that CNS fibroblasts are a 🔑 player in 🧠 tumor growth 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s been a hectic few days, here’s a quick thread on our latest endeavour exploring GABAergic neurogenesis in the human cerebellum published in @pnas.org. Key takeaways: Purkinje cells are born very early in human development — much earlier than previously appreciated. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some might leave the country -- or abandon research altogether. https://go.nature.com/43ao2zq

Big news - I'm going to be moving to a new position at The Company of Biologists, working across all our journals. This means my job is up for grabs! If you're an experienced editor with a love of developmental biology and its community, this could be the role for you. Full details in the link.

My team @naturecomms.bsky.social is looking for a new editor! We need someone to help handle all of the awesome #stemcell and #devbio papers we're getting. DM me if you're interested or have questions about the role or interview process. springernature.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Spring...
