Rubio says U.S. will 'aggressively' revoke visas for many Chinese students The announcement to revoke visas is the most drastic move yet to curtail the numbers of international students studying in the U.S.

I have had the privilege to train many chinese students over many years. They enriched our lives and did great science. Many are still here and contribute to the US scientific enterprise. The push to revoke student visas is cruel and unnecessary. We must push back.

Trump administration to crack down on Chinese visas, applicants, Rubio says Rubio said the State and Homeland Security departments will work to “aggressively revoke” visas of Chinese students in the United States, “including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Par...

The bipartisan framing of Chinese people as dangerous to the United States has been building up for years and has created this deeply racist and xenophobic opening for the Trump administration.

I stand with my Chinese colleagues and all of our Chinese students. 🧪

I stand firmly with our Chinese colleagues and our Chinese students. This xenophobia must be called out.

It’s a tough time for science so it feels odd to mention positives, but the Wert lab has had some amazing positive funding news come through and we are seeking talented and motivated postdocs! Please share! labs.utsouthwestern.edu/wert-lab

During the tumultuous times, it is important to celebrate small wins in life.

Together with our Gruber Lab friends, we played paintball to celebrate Xin’ incoming baby, Rahil joining the lab, and recent lab publications!

Subcellular level spatial transcriptomics with PHOTON - Nature Communications Rajachandran, Xu, and colleagues present PHOTON, a subcellular resolution spatial transcriptomics technology that allows the capturing of RNA information within various subcellular compartments under ...

Thrilled to share our latest work in which we built a tool to assay RNA content of various subcellular compartments within native cellular and tissue context! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Recently, we found out that our R01 funded through PAR-22-241 was withdrawn by NIAID as the NIH no longer prioritizes research programs related to DEI. This has been devastating news for our young research group, and we are now trying to scram together for a path forward 🧵1/12

Congrats, Ben!

How can you use spatial transcriptomics to study spermatogenesis?

This review highlights how this technology is being used to study spermatogenesis by preserving tissue context—enabling researchers to explore spatial gene expression, cellular neighborhoods, and molecular changes in the testis.

SRI stands in solidarity with our colleagues at the NIH and CDC.

To our colleagues at NIH and CDC: You are not alone. The scientific and reproductive health communities stand with you.

Thanks for visiting us and sharing the awesome work from your lab, Eric!

To celebrate many things (the upcoming holidays and the lab's 2nd bday, Qiqi winning the best trainee talk at the dept retreat, and Shreya getting into med school), we went mini-golfing with our friends from the Grow lab!

Our lab had a blast at the departmental retreat today!

Schematic of the production cycle of a spermbot.

In my lab, not all ideas turned into projects as some were too out there or speculative.

Today, I share one of the crazy ones - an idea to make a spermbot for targeted drug delivery. Hope it may inspire some future brilliant minds to pursue this topic.

Hi! I'm passionate about reproductive biology and genetics/genomics. Looking forward to engaging in conversations on gametogenesis, fertility, stem cells, microscopy, single cell and spatial omics! #HiSciSky
