How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my first paper from my PhD with Wallace Marshall, co-first-authored with Tatyana Makushok! We discovered that gradual habituation in a cell population is due to step-like switches in single cells bit.ly/3GNg702 🧵1/n

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Join us in Stresa, Italy for the amazing @embo Chromosome Segregation and Aneuploidy organized by ⁦Stefano Santaguida⁩ ⁦Elsa Logarinho⁩ ⁦Ben-David Lab⁩ ⁦Foijer lab⁩ ⁦@McclellandLab⁩ and myself. Registrations are open now! meetings.embo.org/event/25-aneup…

unironically, take an interest in things. visit art galleries, hit up the library and discover-browse. read widely. learn new languages, new words. watch old films. the world is a wonderful place but the sense of wonder is a muscle that must be cultivated like any other.

Researchers have discovered that approved compounds such as metformin can sensitize TNBC and other types of breast cancer cells to drugs called PARP inhibitors, a finding that may expand the clinical utility of these important therapies. @SciSignal bit.ly/4g1ig6A

In a nature survey, 80% of science-policy experts say their country’s science advice system is poor or patchy. My story looks at the state of global science advice - and what needs to change. Data by Jeff Perkel, Richard Van Noorden nature.com/articles/d4158…

What leads us to ignore experts isn't their knowledge. It's their arrogance. Evidence: Scientists are more credible when they admit what they don't know, acknowledge what they got wrong, and update their views. Trust is earned by expressing humility, not by asserting authority.

How can we learn to communicate better with one another? At our recent Nobel Prize Dialogue Sydney, physics laureate Saul Perlmutter spoke about the importance of communication. Watch the full event: bit.ly/3Z3qMLi #NobelPrize

Excited to share our lab's first preprint: we used spatial transcriptomics to dissect how aging disrupts the cycling ovary! 🧵 This was an incredible team effort w/ Jennifer Garrison Tammy Lan David Fischer AlisonKochersberger Ruth Raichur Sophia Szady

God bless academic writing. This is page 317

Cancer research currently lacks the concept of "timing a molecular event". How long ago did this mutation occur? Years, months or decades? There's a clever trick to do this though (partially). 🧵1/15

It's #SmallWorldInMotionMonday! Melanoma, the cells of which are shown in this video, is a type of skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment in the skin. bit.ly/4fIKDGe Credit: Nikky Corthout, Dr. Francesca Rizzollo

#1 Happy to share our last work published in Nature Cell Biology about a new cell cycle checkpoint that senses nuclear shape and mechanics to guarantee genome integrity nature.com/articles/s4155…. Great work from Solène Hervé and Andrea Scelfo in close collaboration with Kate Miroshnikova.

Most excited to see our study presenting the mechanism driving ~50% of osteosarcomas (LTA #chromothripsis) out in Cell! How does the final version differ from the preprint? x.com/isidrolauscher… Buckle up!! -tons of new exciting results ahead! 👇👇

I really hope Pubmed, Genbank etc being down is a temporary technical issue. This is the world's library on medical knowledge and every single person working in life sciences needs it.

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

Have you ever wanted to track individual #chromosomes during #mitosis? To do live cell #karyotyping and map the inter- and intra-chromosomal contacts dynamics? Our recent work made that possible. Check out our Nature Cell Biology paper: nature.com/articles/s4155…
