Beautiful study in the same issue @nature describing the effects of stimulating neurons and inducing a torpor-like or hibernation-like state. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hibernating animals tend to live longer. Why that is, we don’t know. Exciting results in marmots suggest that epigenetic aging slows down during seasonal hibernation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Not too long ago, this would take 10,000 experiments that could not be coherently integrated. What a landmark study with the largest and richest single dataset of cell function to reference, mine, build deep learning models on. Bravo colleagues Joseph Replogle Jonathan Weissman's Lab

Surprising observation that human brain temperature is ~38.5C (higher than core body temperature). Feature? academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Understanding and engineering thermotolerance in plants could have tremendous beneficial effects. Beautiful work! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc). Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

We are recruiting a technician! Our lab studies the biology + applications of hibernation-like states with focus on neuroscience. Position is ideal for college grads interested in working largely independently for two years ahead of pursuing a PhD or MD. wibr.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WIBR-Car…
