In defense of basic science - my new video about how we balance basic vs. translational science: youtu.be/yl6ETxRfQn8?si…. . And why we should encourage a culture of wandering to solve problems:. A team effort between University of Oxford and OxfordSparks.

The department of Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology at UVA is looking for faculty members in the field of Neuro-Oncology / CNS Malignancies research. See apply.interfolio.com/148902

Congratulations to the 4 MIC Grad students who successfully defended their Ph.Ds this summer!

Finally published in today's issue of Cell Reports – our latest paper on patterning of retinal mosaics. See below for a tweetorial I posted last fall, and go here to see the final version: cell.com/cell-reports/f… Congrats to co-authors Chris Kozlowski and Sarah Hadyniak, PhD !

Happy Birthday Ben! Today would’ve been his 70th birthday. A renowned scientist who changed the way we see glia cells and the brain and a wonderful friend and advocate, Ben was an inspiration to us all.  #neuroscience #glia #advocateforwomeninStem #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Congratulations to Zhijian “James” Chen, 2024 #LaskerAward winner! – “for the discovery of the cGAS enzyme that senses foreign and self DNA, solving the mystery of how DNA stimulates immune and inflammatory responses.” laskerfoundation.org/winners/cgas-e… #Lasker2024 #LaskerLaureate

A problem in science academia unfortunately is that many scientists would rather get a big grant than make a big discovery

Congratulations Alison- well deserved!

Thank you senator!

Really thrilled to share that graduating PhD student Zhaoquan (Shasha) Wang, pioneer of our exciting fructose metabolism work, has received the prestigious Schmidt Science Fellowship that will allow him to pursue really exciting questions in the octopus. Weill Cornell Medicine

On one hand, I agree in part w/ Professor here. Funding for work using human culture systems is welcomed. However, I agree w/ my colleague Bimal Desai that you can't & won't be able to do essential physiology w/o animals. Let's see what Jay Bhattacharya NIH does.

organoids, while a powerful tool for studying human biology, lack immune systems, which is a significant limitation. NIH prioritized organoids to model human tissues and diseases in vitro. However, their lack of an immune system hinders their ability to fully recapitulate human

BRAIN Initiative scientists discuss recent release of new tools to access specific classes of brain cells. This will help research to map, monitor and modulate brain activity, understand the circuits that make us human, and treat brain disorders. braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/bl…
