His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.

An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

Reforming how research and researchers are assessed is an essential step toward ensuring a more accurate, fair, and meaningful evaluation of scientific work.

A recent pan-EMBL event provided an opportunity to reflect on this key topic.

Thymic size decreases with age, but the factors driving thymic regression in later life had been ill-defined.

M. Paula Longhi & team now find smoking and sex differences contribute to thymopoietic activity in individuals aged 50 and older.

Pleased to share my new review:

Ovulation: A cellular symphony in three movements πŸ’₯πŸ₯š

Ovulation is more than egg releaseβ€”it's a tightly regulated, tissue-scale process. Here, I present a temporal framework structured as a symphony performed by the cells of the follicle.

If you don’t have time to take a walk, then you don’t have time to do science. Charles Darwin would take two walks every day on his "thinking path", not as a break from science, but as a crucial part of it.

I just learned that I was promoted to Professor -- with these little ones by my side the whole way (I started at URI when our oldest was 12 weeks old). Sharing as a reminder that parenting and academia can coexist.
