If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back.

I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

It was a friendly match. There will be more!

Just visited @ifomresearch.bsky.social in Milan. It was a true pleasure to see the direction this cancer research institute has taken. The energy and the enthusiasm of the faculties was contagious. Plus, Milan is a thriving city. European science at the best.

so nice to see this in print, Trudy! Brilliant work!

This is a disaster for science in the US. Really sorry, Roel. We are in a similar situation. And there is no silver lining, when science loses, we all lose.

I fixed a refrigerator with a $2 capacitor once. One my proudest moments :-)

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

Great opportunity!

More than 1,900 scientists write letter in ‘SOS’ over Trump’s attacks on science

Members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine warned Americans of ‘real danger in this moment’

I'll be in Boston/NYC/UPenn for <72 hrs this week explaining why Weizmann is the best school there is. If you know anyone that it can be relevant for - please DM me for details.

very much worth reading -- the stakes for the health and safety of all Americans could not be greater

A French university is offering ‘scientific asylum’ for US talent. The brain drain has started | Alexander Hurst The Trump administration is cutting funding, while specifically targeting institutions like Columbia. No wonder academics want out, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst

....and to be followed by broad investment in science as the columnist suggests.

The instructor, Roshan Sharma, does a fantastic job making complex concepts accessible. The course includes videos of each lecture, python notebooks, toy datasets, and much more.
Give it a try!

If you want to learn single-cell analysis from scratch with an user friendly, hands on, approach I very strongly recommend the series of FREE workshops offered by the SAIL team at @mskcancercenter.bsky.social , lead by @ronanchaligne.bsky.social .

We are getting what we voted for.

This is the best way to guarantee the US will lose the scientific edge. It’s a very sad decision and the consequences will be felt for a long time.

🧪 fellow scientists, any advice on a good primer for scRNAseq analysis. Not just the coding part, but the math behind it as well.

I am not convinced, to me the main goal of scientific research is to advance human knowledge. ‘Tangible benefits’ should be only an optional outcome. Not a requirement for funding.

Thanks!

Transcriptional Dosage of Oncogenic KRAS Drives Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell States, Progression and Metastasis Cancer cells display distinct, recurrent phenotypic cell states. Metastatic spreading correlates with tumor cell state evolution. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying metastasis remain elusive...

In www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... we propose that #KRAS #dosage integrates signaling & transcription to regulate cell states, driving #heterogeneity, progression & #metastasis
