And #ThymOz 2023 turned out to be a great meeting! Kudos to all participants and especially thanks to main organizers Ann Chidgey & Daniel Gray.

Fabulous news! So well-earned, Nina Nina Cabezas-Wallscheid ! I hope it will be a very happy and rewarding place for you and your lucky students!

Are you a developmental or cell biologist? Looking for an alternative social media platform? Wouldn't it be good if it was especially for biologists to discuss science, research, teaching...? Yes? Try The Company of Biologists Mastodon server Biologists.social biologists.com/stories/join-u…

Excited to introduce scKINETICS, an algorithm for joint inference of gene regulatory mechanism and cellular velocity, co-developed by the amazing duo of Cassandra Burdziak and Julia Zhao academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

A reference cell tree will serve science better than a reference cell ... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… For those of us who are *developmental* molecular biologists, it's great to see this nice commentary in Cell . Thanks, Jay Shendure and Silvia Domcke!

There it is, the thymus DOES matter postnatally! Congratulations ScaddenLab nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

At long, long last!!! HAD to be -- but it's almost been a half-century of deliberate avoidance of looking, don't you think? People still ripping out thymuses at birth -- but Miller & Mitchell wrote in the 1960s - why wasn't this investigated decades ago? Thanks, ScaddenLab !

Adorable! But the stamp sheet is way too pretty to use. I guess they want us to buy two, one to keep in a collection. Go zfish!

Thrilling science and wonderful human connections. Congratulations to Alejandro and Britta and to all the participants!

The Division of Biology and Biological Engineering (BBE) at Caltech is searching for tenure-track Faculty candidates studying fundamental processes in Developmental & Organismal Biology! Assistant Professor candidates preferred; Sept 30 deadline. See : applications.caltech.edu/jobs/devorgbio

Hi all. Thank you so much for all we've learned from your wonderful posts in the past few years, the joy of sharing our work with you, & your kind words. But I am heartsick about what's happened to this platform lately and think I need to take a break from it. Please be well!

Harald was incredibly important for our field. He had a huge impact and died too young. It is marvelous that they have dedicated the 2024 Midwinter Conference in Immunology to him. He was not my mentor but a huge inspiration. (Had to sneak out of "retirement" for this RT)

Dear Peiwei Chen , I am ecstatic for you! Congratulations! What a joy it has been to work with you on teaching about stem cells and the immune system, and learning about your own highly creative work with Alexei Aravin. Cheers, many, many congratulations, and all good luck!!

And it was transformative to work with KuehLab when he was in our lab and also the ElowitzLab. Looking at familiar immune cell types in different ways thru systems biology revealed many deep new insights. Would love to recruit new fellows to follow in KuehLab 's footsteps!

Very pleased to see this! Then there really can be true naive T cells in adult people. Then also humans and mice are not so extremely different either. Thanks, Nik Joshi and @SamuelBHume !

How horribly true! And it's still a rejection when "this has already been shown" is talking about your own paper that you somehow published by that time...

Great, great news! Congratulations, Edith! Congratulations, members of the Crick!
