The #devbio project that encompassed the majority of my postdoc is finally out! Huge thanks to my coauthors and our collaborators without whom this work would not have been possible, and my adviser Eszter Posfai who let me play with a light sheet microscope and some colorful mice :)

Thrilled to share our work using live imaging to understand how Epiblast (future embryo proper) and Primitive Endoderm (future extraembryonic tissues) cell fates segregate in the preimplantation mouse embryo. Gargantuan effort led by amazing @rpkimyip.bsky.social, David Denberg and Denis Faerberg!

Feds yank funds from Harvard breast cancer, fertility, antibiotics research The Trump administration is following through on threats to terminate $2.7 billion dollars in federal grants and other funding at Harvard University, punishment for alleged antisemitism on campus. One...

The Trump administration this week eliminated funding for Harvard research projects across a host of areas, from the origins of breast cancer and the impact of nutrition on fertility to antibiotic resistance.

Jeez calling me out like that

Our universities are so good that our adversaries send their children to be educated here. We’re dismantling that unbelievable strategic advantage, hurting our own children and our own health in the process.

It is a cloudy day in Chicago, but the science is shining here inside the Gleacher Center at the University of Chicago at the 2025 JCC Annual Symposium.

First up this morning: science talks from our 3rd year JCC Fellows ... buckle up!

1 / a lot

Congrats to the the 2025 JCC Symposium science talk award winners: Dr. Caroline Doherty @mouthpipette.bsky.social , Dr. Phi Nguyen @phi-nguyen.bsky.social , and Dr. Leo Yan!!!

I switched to reading the FT two years ago and haven't looked back

We got a 21st century Ernest Hemingway over here

I've watched this show on and off for the last 10 years and every time I have to stop after about 5 episodes because Mark's neuroticism hits too close to home

A duo of preprints on the dynamics of the first cell fate decision in mouse by Madeleine Chalifoux (first grad student in the lab!) and Maria Avdeeva (Flatiron).

We use quantitative live imaging of key cell fate determinants to follow the segregation of inner cell mass and trophectoderm lineages.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by Coke Zero and snacks

Journal of Clinical Oncology?

A Hallmark movie where instead of moving to a small town and falling in love, I move to the country and I eat a lot of peaches.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)
