Africa’s postdoc workforce is on the rise - but at what cost? | Linda Nordling nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congrats @r_romero114!

Some great points! Being based in the U.S. has not prevented me from missed opportunities due to having a South African passport. Efforts have to be made to not exclude the global south from the scientific opportunities available to the global north. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congrats Dr. Shruti Naik! So exciting!

Microbiome research in Africa must be based on equitable partnerships. Comment from Ovokeraye H. Oduaran Voke Oduaran Wits University and colleagues. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Today, our paper with over 100 African authors showing how we trained 408 African scientists in genomics & bioinformatics through 28 regional workshops in 2023, is now published in Nature Genetics: nature.com/articles/s4158… or rdcu.be/dM5r4 & africanbiogenome.org/2024/07/08/est…

Solid tumors make up about 90% of cancer cases. The Biden-Harris Administration announced $150M from ARPA-H to develop technologies that provide more successful tumor-removal surgeries to help meet the Biden Cancer Moonshot’s goal of saving lives. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Congrats Moshe Biton Sacha LEBON ! Really awesome story!

This encompasses many of the thoughts I have tried to verbalize the past few weeks and many of the reason I chose to continue my academic scientific career in the US. Take a read!

📷 #preprint alert! Excited to share a #biobank of patient-derived #appendix cancer models, with novel insights into mechanisms and drug targeting of #peritoneal #carcinomatosis. Led by our 1st PhD student Ahmed Mahmoud Weill Cornell GSMS HHMI biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can’t wait to give this one a listen Thomas Vierbuchen 👀
