Females are larger than males. How? Here is one solution- they have MORE nuclei in their flight muscles and grow LARGER heart and fat body cells with MORE ribosomal mRNAs. Fun collaboration of @jeromeavellaneda.bsky.social with @soumitrakp.bsky.social & Brian Oliver www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Big day for our team: our pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) organoid paper is now up on bioRxiv!
This was a tour de force across 6 institutions, 37 authors, building patient-derived organoids from 35 PPGL patients /π§΅

This @nightsciencepod.bsky.social episode with Martin Schwartz was so awesome!
The idea to toss all the "ego" aspects of science (including worries/insecurities about career prospects) and follow the curiosity/passion path to do your best work is something I strive for every day.
What an exciting announcement! Best of luck to @itaiyanai.bsky.social and Martin Lercher on this new endeavor. The cultural shift is much needed. I am on board!

Benny was my PhD mentor. Infectious enthusiasm and burning curiosity is exactly right. He was such a great mentor to me and many others and he will be sorely missed.
