This is why we are all in this field…to see, and one day to be able to produce work like this.

Finally here! Our preprint on the MOSAIC, a multimodal adaptive optical microscope enabling non‑invasive in‑vivo imaging from molecules to organisms, is out. MOSAIC captures everything from subcellular dynamics to neural activity in live mice.

Come and join us for a fantastic conference around all things human development and growth!
Lots of talks from abstracts and a stellar lineup of invited speakers? YES.
Hope to see you all there !

A linocut print with four crows facing different directions and the words ‘A murder of crows’. The first two words look like a typewriter typeface with ‘murder’ in red followed by red crow footprints leading down to the crows. The word “crows” is spelled in feathers.
Today is also International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day and I for one, appreciate the corvids. 🧪🐡 They are extraordinarily intelligent birds! Here is my murder of crows, part of my terms of venery series of collective nouns for animals. 🧵

Is CoA a problem because an over-constrictive (flow-sensitive) SMC subpopulation of CNC origin has invaded the aortic zone, which is supposed to be populated by mesodermal SMCs?😁

Two great new #Zebrafish preprints from the #WeinsteinLab using a new transgenic that reports epigenetic silencing and activation! Great to study epigenetic changes in vertebrates, and we even did an ENU screen. Excellent work by @mmarvel.bsky.social et al. 🧪

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest study @plosbiology.org reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖🧪

“Do scientists put themselves at risk by speaking out against the Trump administration?
“Hell yes,” said Jonathan Jackson, a national expert on increasing diversity in clinical trials… “I might lose the grants I have by the middle of next week” being on this stage…an answer that silenced the crowd”
The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up.
If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes.
Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.
